broken promises...

So then..

Today the last 4 weeks... what can I say about any of it. do about any of it?

Saw on the bbc one journalist behind police lines talk and focus on the police and the violence of the protestors.

The last one, even Nick Robinson, said they might have won the vote but they have not won the public arguement.

On BBC news online there was a full on article about How Social Media Changed Protest - Agree disagree or a little of both.
Messages and information can be shared without direct contact but if I dont know you, I don't necessarily belive or trust what your saying.

The image of broken glass become the image for the past weeks but is that right? Is that the mass mediated image or an image that if broken down, disected in another way, one that could be as the broken promises of those in power, that the thin, fragile vaneer that kept us from seeing how wholly and utterly they thought and felt so little about us, that we should be sheilded from the truth.. not shielded not batoned by the mental and physical voilence of those who rule our society?
