This one requires a lot of context so allow me to elaborate:

As you may have learned we had riots in London by a tiny, mindless minority of extremist fucktards (Yes, I have little respect for anarchists) after a peaceful protest of between 250,000-400,000 trade unionists, students, families etc opposing the government's cuts.

This strip illustrates the contrast which is the political/social damage being inflicted on government institutions.

Now to identify the masked rapscallions:

Heavy-set fellow in the bottom-left corner: Secretary of State for Local Government - Eric Pickles
Holding the 'Indignity or Death' sign: Liberal Democrat Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills - Vince Cable
The fat-cat: Self Explantory
In front of said cat: Health Minister Andrew Lansley
Holding the bar: Secretary of State for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport - Jeremy Hunt
Jumping up and down: Secretary of State for Education - Michael Gove
Sobbing on the pavement: Foreign Secretary - William Hague
Hurling missiles: Secretary of State for Defence - Dr Liam Fox
Spraypainting: Chancellor of the Exchequer (Economic Policy) - George Osborne
Filling the bottles: Liberal Democrat Under-Secretary to the Treasury - Danny Alexander

Finally, you can guess the one I haven't mentioned is the Prime Minister.

Sorry for being verbose and whatnot but it's the best way to get the context churned out.

becous anarchist are anti goverment, and the syndiclists arnt a force in the uk, you only ever see the bomb throwing anarchists (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BombThrowingAnarchists) becous the rest of the anarchists disregard with the process (so do the ones who throw bombs, for that matter, but there, you know, there)

i know a few anarchists, one was a lecture, but none are the bomb throwing types. anarchisim (like anarcho communists and anarcho syndclists) can be pritty cool (Even if its not my cup of tea)

More I learn about it the more it seems a few are just in it for the shock value or... basically want to smash some stuff up.
