Nike, GAP, MacDonalds, prime targets during the world wide May Day
protests/riots. All along Oxford Street, and Tottenham Court Road, plus all
the soho side streets, shops were sitting targets for random acts of
vandalism and looting. All to show the western world the unpopularity of
Capitalism, the world debts of vulnerable countries already exploited in the
past, and child labour in Eastern Sweatshops which lines the pockets of the
rich.

Here's my question;

Is it okay to nick stuff from GAP?

- confused, and past it to the point of using the circle line instead of the
Victoria line on Tuesday afternoon which would have taken me into the heart
of the rio- protest

No.Because stealing is as immoral as capitalism.
Just never buy anything from them so they'll go bust.

Wasn't there supposed to have been a tube strike as well?

I don't think so, if you're going by a "smashometer" type measure. Wasn't
like last year's sneak attack. Just some bigass standoff right in the main
thoroughfare of regent street/oxford street. Just a huge bundle of people
being penned in by the riot officers.

What if you saw something just fallen off the back of a lorry then?
Answer that one.
