Shocking Lack of Proper Violence!

Oh I never said fair play to what they were protesting about. I just said fair play to them for not taking any s
t. They obviously had very angry thoughts towards it, had a jolly riot, and as a result, the decision was revoked a little while later.
When public opinion is so strong that it leads to riots on the scale of the poll tax riots, then its a pretty clear message to the government that they are acting out of line.

These people are student's and people with out a job, they wanted something to do, so they went to the big smoke to have a sit down and eat some bread free bread, or what ever the f
k they eat. If they meant it, they would be fighting the Police and trying to kill everyone. Shay HTFC said:

Yes, hats off to them for getting a good riot off their chests, despite it being a trumped up reason for doing so. t.

Try telling them it was a chumped up reason.If you were so in support of it, then why didn't you and the masses of people who shared your views go out and protest when the government introduced council tax instead?

I think you have the wrong end of the stick. I think the hypocrisy of the protesters is the annoying thing. How many are on benefits? How many have jobs? How many drove down to protest about the environment, how many destroyed things, whilst demanding peace, and so on. The protesters come out of the woodwork merely to protest.

You are a little hysterical now, aren't you.
I'm just trying to see where you draw the line.I assume you wouldn't just sit down, but would indeed get out and 'smash up some s
t' in protest.So what it takes to get some people angry enough to commit crime in protest is just a mark on a scale. Who decides when that mark is reached?

These people are there for something to do, they don't actually care about the subject.
I agree most of them don't care what they are protesting about as long as they are protesting

I was listening to Rush limbaugh earlier, (always good for a giggle), and boy, that man is paranoid to the extreme. All of the loonies come out for these protests... Enviromentalists, vegetarians, anti-abortion folks, Pro-abortion types, anti-3rd world debt, and so on, and so forth, and yet he comes out with his classic, "it's not about these causes, it;s all about anti-Americanism". Sheesh, he really does have a chip on his shoulder. He also got miffed because no-one was 'hating Obama". rather he is quite liked in Europe, rightly or wrongly. he can't abide that! I find it utterly refreshing that someone so paranoid, and so full of hatred and bile gets so much airtime.
Well, the protest did kick off at the American Embassy. Obama is liked in Europe and yet is much like your hated Labour. The leaders you want are more conservative yet you all chastise our "tories". Ironic.

What do those idiots think pays for those handouts? Boggling.

BBC reporting that a protester has died.
Violent enough?
How did he die, if he died in a car crash on the way home then the answer is still no.Violent enough?

Thread after thread I cannot believe what I am reading. I simply cannot fathom how many boring, armchair loving, whiskey sipping, seemingly state-loving whiners there are on here.
Yet another thread asking to see the Police do more against the protesters. Some people are so blinkered in their left wing / right wing 'camps' that they fail to see that these protesters are actually putting 2 big fingers upto the state and control over the individual whilst they 'riot'.
Surely you right wing nut jobs (i.e. if you were as blindly left-wing as you are right-wing, you would be just as wacko as some of the protesters seen today) can't even see the big picture because you're so obsessed with 'hating the lefties'.
Are you all 'for' the state re-nationalising the banks? Are you 'for' the Police to have the population under complete control?
Are you against the people exercising their right to tell the government and other 'population controllers' to fk off?
Sounds pretty left wing to me. Sounds like you all love your government compliance.
The fact that you give credit to these turds for that type of complexity only proves that you need an a$$ kicking yourself. Tell me, do you make people spit on it before you let them shove it in or do you lube it up yourself? Yet another thread asking to see the Police do more against the protesters.

Or are you one of those ones that thinks sitting around quietly in a cordoned off area miles away from anything important is the way to make your voice heard?
No, we are not. However, articulate what these a$$holes are protesting against....please, we would all love to hear this one.Or are you one of those ones that thinks sitting around quietly in a cordoned off area miles away from anything important is the way to make your voice heard?

I think you've probably offended a few anarchists. (possibly some nazi's also)k all to do with protesting - just anarchists and, in their own way, nazis - we must all do what they say!!! Bloody soap dodgers. Just add some liquid soap to the water cannons and they'll disappear like vampires in sunlight.
I thought the Russell Bland interview on the news last night just about summed it up.
q. "Why are you here?"
a. "erm", (long pause) (grin), (mangled cogs engage slightly) "same reason as everyone else".
I guess like quite a few others there, he does not have a clue. It seems like most of them that did actually understand their views just wanted to make their protest peacefully, and a small minority decided to have a go at the plods and a few windows. CCTV should be able to identify and prosecute that minority.
Waste of skin.

Strikes me that the people protesting are the ones least affected by the current climate.
Student brigade, soap-dodgers, etc.....
People actually effected by the economic climate stayed in work so as not to LOSE THEIR JOBS! Something the protesters have no concept of!
Protesting is great when the situation becomes dire enough to demand it. But things arent that dire.....yet.
