The banker's new clothes

The London Chamber of Commerce has recommended that for the duration of the G20 summit men working in the financial district should avoid wearing suits and ties and that women should shed their coats, skirts and high heels and don sportswear to protect themselves from possible attacks. Pandelis Boukalas is tickled pink in the daily I Kathimerini: "As it is now well known that the bankers are going to go around camouflaged in sportswear, the demonstrators (or anyone who feels like it) could start attacking people who are dressed too casually. This could be done just for fun, or to confuse the police who will no longer know who to protect and who to arrest. The demonstrators could also disguise themselves. As what? As bankers and stockbrokers. Surely they'll be able to rent a costume somewhere and get a little money circulating."
