Seems like the people in Thailand have the idea.

I think we should demand early elections as the citizens of this country, to stop labour before they make more mistakes.

Because we would all get arrested under the Anti-Terrorism Act.

Or something like that.

No, that's only for when you put your rubbish in the wrong recycling bin.

I suspect that in Thailand, they have to worry about troops sending in the government to gun them all down instead of just being detained for 2x days.

I am beginning to think I would put my life on the line to get rid of the fat one-eyed snot-gobbling slack-jawed jock.

Everyone will whinge but not everyone will get up and go well out of their way to protest. Which to be fair would probably have to be done in London to have an effect. Who'd be the leader?

I think most people will stay at home and have a cup of tea.

There is 2 different groups acting there / One group wants the old PM back ( ex-mancity-owner) and the other wants to bring the king back in . The problem will be when both groups will come head to head and probably, there will be another group who supports the current PM (remember the all those people in the street that brought ex PM down )

Cant see anything good coming out of this

Good idea, I`ll go put the kettle on!

On a serious note, do you think the Tories might sponsor us to all get yellow T-shirts? Perhaps there are a load of "stop the c***" T-shirts left over from James Allens F1 commentary days we could find a home for, after all, the message is entirely portable.

How many people marched through London opposing the ban on hunting? A million? Who got off their areses and travelled to make their voices heard, and what happened? They were ignored.

(in turn of course the asisne waste of parliament time that was put on the statute books is being largely ignored, but thats neither here nor there?)

Perhaps when we're all out of work, homeless & broke, people will actually do something about that thieving Bar-Steward instead of sitting around complaining.

Where's our Lee Harvey Oswald when he's needed?

Hmmm.

I smell a hidden agenda Beggar.

What is it about Thailand that you really want to bring over here?

Are you slightly sweaty, wearing a Panama Hat, currently stroking an androgenous youth's hair?

Do you not mean the march against the War? I didn't realise a million marched for the hunt.

The march would have to get violent then, but no cars to be destroyed unless it's a Fiat Multipla.

ah you might be right on me mixing up my marches, but ok, a million marched against the war and look how much notice was taken.

As for violence we had the mayday crap in London a few years ago..... grubby people trying violence, then getting really pissed off when the met took batons to them.

The problem is we have rolled over and lost our right to even a peacefull protest within a mile of parliament. If something like this had happened in France there would have been country wide riots. The sad thing is probably half the people who complain wouldn't turn up. It has also got the point where peacefull protest in inneffective against the government. We have relinquished our right to protest or have a say in the running of our country.

Why? We have an election every 5 years.

Wishing to overthrow a properly democratically elected government is something else entirely different to what is happening in Thailand.
