JSO Pensioners Fail to Break Glass

[CT05 Nose Cone]

At least they haven't been blocking roads of late, likely too busy waving Palestinian flag to do that at the moment

There were a number of Magna Carta. A few remain, dotted around the country.

It is, though, the most over-rated document in English history. Firstly, it made no difference as John ignored it and, secondly, it is for the benefit of those who already enjoyed a lot of the benefits of being Norman. The indigenous population - us plebs - were ignored. In many ways, it reinforced the de facto slavery of serfdom. Shame it wasn't damaged.

But, of course, the attempt at whatever was successful. I mean, it's generated a thread on PH, one of the bastions of resistance of global temperature stabilisation. How cool (sorry) is that?

I'm surprised that so many of the PH massive have seen and admired the document. I mean, it's written in Latin, and I don't speak it, apart from legal terms.

You might be a bit sniffy about Magna Carta if you so choose but “shame it wasn’t damaged?” Really?

As for our miscreants, perhaps if they’re really, genuinely, sincerely acting on their conscience I should applaud their convictions? I don’t know. I doubt it. Simply having lived a long time doesn’t seem an acceptable reason for lenience. A few hundred hours community service might set the world straight.

Both my parents are in their mid 70's and seem to go from absolutely normal lovely people to absolutely bay st crazy at times. I'm very anti JSO but on this one I kinda feel sad for them.

Both mine are two.

But they manage not to go being antisocial knob jockeys.

Makes you wonder what suspended sentences are for.

Good on them. Rage against the dying of the light.

Seems really genuine. I'm sure if Fathers for Justice or the EDL adopted these tactics they too would have interviews on Radio 4 and articles in The Times. Honest.

What effect has their actions had on the rest of the population? I'm sure in the eyes of many they'd be better sitting soporifically in a quiet house fulfilling the cultural obligation of being an old person, keeping on sipping the state sponsored Kool-Aid and regurgitating it incessantly without ever engaging their brains....

We’ve all seen jso and the like so allowing it as you seem to think is ok, has a cost to the rest of society. They can engage their brains and change things they don’t agree with (and could have done when they were younger if it was so important) in a different manner

I don’t like selfish behaviour.

And that's fair enough man.

Because that's what 'old people' do if they're not vandalising things.

I don't think I suggested that's what old folk do? I suggested in the eyes of many they'd be better doing that than protesting, but I'm sure you read that, right? Some of the most inspirational, committed, energetic people I know are well above pensionable age.

Once again old people are showing those wet behind the ears how it is done.

Given the positions and policies of current and recent Governments, I'd say they've had their fill of "state sponsored Kool-Aid".

Yup.

A slightly odd view.

Perhaps see my earlier response, which I won't go to the bother of rewriting.

I'm sure future generations will by studying this example

Yeah. Wish I had the committment to tap at some glass whilst wearing a t-shirt with a slogan on it.

Smashing stuff because they don't get things they want? Sorry but I can't support that.
