Riots running through the streets? Firebombs? The start of WW3? Or the 
more likely possibility; the shops will run out of Soya milk?

If Geldof's 1 million did appear, the city might struggle, but please 
remember that ECC actually encouraged this, given the financial 
prospects of Protest Tourism, in a relatively quiet patch between seasons.

This city has been through far worse, and I suspect that when the last 
of the protestors leave, we'll be quids in.
