would you support protest?
 

Just a thought.. the present protests in north africa and mid east against thier governments who are ruling under a minority to pay for thier way of life ..would you go on the streets and risk you're life? should this be supported by cameron.. the man and his party who are hell bent on repressing any social meaning in this country?

Re: would you support protest?
 

I used to protest when the Blairs used to spend their family holidays in the police state, with the appaling human rights records, that was 'friendly' old Mubarak's Egypt.

Same with our other close ally in the Middle East, Saudi Arabia. Atrocious human rights abuses carried out daily.

As Steeljack's pointed out, historically the area is a nightmare. The area having been carved up for years, for political, and financial gain.

I hope the revolutions, which seem very much led by people power, result in greater freedom, and autonomy for the social networkers that are bringing about the changes.

I'll protest when it's a clearer picture.

Especially if the result is less freedom, after power is seized by religious fundamentalists.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Very well ..I know there is a difference in these countries regarding historical upheaval and such.. makes us feel we are safe from this kind of stuff.. but when is the time to stop moaning about Blair or Thatcher and decide it is the time to take to the streets?.. when this sort of thing happens on a lower scale in this country these people would be called anarchists.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I'll answer myself.. when you live in a country governed by rich well educated chancers that have not got a clue how to run an economy the size of which we live in.. a lazy government that sits back and sees 1 million youngsters unemployed .. the highest youth unemployment in history.. sits back and say's we all deserve it for Labours shortcomings.. a government hell bent on destroying the hard work and suffering our grandparents and parents did for the better of us .. when do the people say it is enough?..this is not what the protesters in the middle east are on about..?

Re: would you support protest?
 

I've posted before, the British weather isn't conducive to insurgecy.

No one takes to the streets, when 'it looks like rain later'

The English are rubbish at revolts.

Better say indoors, and take your velvet coat off. You won't feel the benefit later.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Harold McMillan was right.

Compared to our forefathers, whose life was one of endless toil, we have 'never had it so good'.

There'll be no revolution here.

Not while there's Sky Sports, microwaves, and prawn rings on the shelves of Iceland.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Tis true.. never had it so good when you think about having a ****e in a freezing back yard bog.. we have come far and gone abit soft.. but when does it click that all social progress in this country is now under attack?

Re: would you support protest?
 

Sssshhh.

The nation's watching the telly.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I need to get a grip on the polling lark.. I do mean would it be right for actual mass protest against a government that has made itself immune to re-election..a government that can impose any laws on the british public at thier will?.. just as the public in Bahrain and Libya are willing to die for?

Re: would you support protest?
 

never understood why the Police in mainland UK have never used "water canon" on the "great unwashed" if it's good enough to be used on the Northen Irish/Ulstermen why isn't good enough for the London's liberal effette :rolleyes: ;) :D

Re: would you support protest?
 

That's true.. never used water canon on the miners.. but they managed to murder some of them ..Cameron is telling the governments of countries he knows nothing about to listen to mass protesters.. but when there is a any protest here he calls them anarchists..

Re: would you support protest?
 

Hmmm, a bit of a can of worms here.
When Teflon Tony, banned all noisy protest out side parliament, I did not see many people shouting revolt.
Under the last government we saw our freedoms go one by one, thankfully we did not get the ID card.
And Dave and Nick are not having that a good time either.

BUT to take the fact that Mancie and I are on differing sides of the political fence out of this discussion here...

We in the UK have rights, we can go where we want, when we want, with whoever we want and have no fear of being reported, arrested, beaten or killed.
When I lived in Morocco, I as a westerner, had to carry photographic id with me at all times, could be stopped and questioned in the street, if I wanted to purchase anything over a value of £50.00, I had to prove my address, could not say publicly anything about the King, (who is a direct descendent of Allah), carry a bible or practice Christian worship.
Now this was a liberal Muslim state, I have been to a few that are not as free as there.
My house maid, she lived in a corrugated shed with her family, the money I gave her, which was double what we originally agreed on, helped her obtain clothes, furnishings and even a Mobile phone, she had never had one before.
We are so used to going to the shops and getting food, booze, clothes with no real problems, even those on benefits, something they do not have in Morocco or other Arab States.
Finally wealth, well I have never seen so many Ferrari's, Porsche's, Lamborghini's etc, I even say a few Pigani Zonda's down there anywhere else in the world, as I saw on a daily basis in Casablanca, in Africa you are either filthy rich or filthy poor.
Now that is something worth fighting for.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Oh look another public poll so people wont want to vote in case so they don't get picked on.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Oh look.

Another public post.

Which no one will disagree with, in case they get picked on.

:tongueout

I prefer you when you are being grumpy , not when your trying to be funny :p

Re: would you support protest?
 

When you think I'm being grumpy, I'm actually sat here in hysterics.

When you think I'm trying to be funny, I'm actually sat here hysterical, but wearing a strait jacket, and dictate the posts to the nurse.

Re: would you support protest?
 

So were we, glad to see your sense of humour is back. Now shall we arrange an uprising against HBC's use of stainless steel street furniture in the town centre?

Re: would you support protest?
 

As I suspect.

It's all come as a bit of a shock, hasn't it?

Didn't you like the stainless steel street furniture on Broadway?

It only cost half a million quid.

Did you get a wet bot-bot, because the seats remain wet, days after it last rained?

You need to get out more.

;):D

Re: would you support protest?
 

We hope it's wet from the rain, but could stainless steel street furniture be getting wet because in the dark they get used as a substitute for a closed toilet?
:eek:

Re: would you support protest?
 

Would I support Protest?

NO, I would be out on the street organising a revolt against it.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I am getting really worried about you Less and your toilet fetish :D

Re: would you support protest?
 

No need to worry, come the revolution we'll all be with our backs against the wall without a pot to hiss in, (come to think of it, with our backs to the wall we'll be in no position to pish into anything).
:)

Re: would you support protest?
 

Different Worlds mate. I see your point but can't see anything happening as we've become to comfortable in our ways. No matter how much the screw is turned folk will whinge & bitch, maybe even march in protest, but to actually force a change the attitude isn't present.

Sweeping cuts across the board are painful & divisive but as long as people continue to get something they won't rise up in open rebellion/revolution peaceful or bloody because it puts them outside their comfort zone. Easy enough to see by the "Uprising" of the Anarchy/Anti capitalists/outraged students. a couple of days kicking off & slumming it to fight the Fascist pigs & their lackeys then back home for a shower & kyle, back to their state funded accommodation & their giro, or hand outs from Mummy & Daddy in comfortable suburbia who are plodding away in the City.

Nah ! We're to soft & we really don't know the meaning of true hardship & suffering so it's not going to happen.

Re: would you support protest?
 

The subtle difference between us and the arabs who are rebelling is -
..they know they are under the rule of tyrannical despots.

Obedient slaves are the ones who think they have 'freedom'

Re: would you support protest?
 

Hardship, there is no real hardship in the good ole U.K, in comparison to these middle east places, i say that having seen first hand, as fer supporting any protest in the middle east, not a chance at this point in time, thing is no-one has any idea what they would be supporting? democracy? fundamentalists? whilst everyone knows the existing rule is crap, ya gotta know what will replace it.

Re: would you support protest?
 

in the uk i think its a case of been pushed to the limit before action is taken by the public like the lead up to the poll tax riots which acheived the desired effect and brought and end to the poll tax yet withing a few months these people who stood up and acted were branded thugs and criminals and the majority of people bought into it.

however when a group of truckers fought for everyone to get fuel lowered and blockaded rifineries a lot of people didnt see the bigger picture and moaned about fuel shortages when petrol stations ran out of fuel :rolleyes:

today the british public choose to use tools such as facebook to protest which are very easily ignored by those in charge and unless the protest group gets a mention in the press its most likely the people in charge will never be aware of it.

sadly nothing ever gets done until it starts effecting london and the polititions directly.If it appears they are going to loose a lot of votes their ears open

Mocking is expected, by the zealous holders of the one truth.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Who's mocking? Have you seen that Lifeinthemix website? From start to finish it's the loonatic garbage that Margaret posts on here; in fact, those posts could well be a copy and paste job.

As for one truth...yeah, just believe me.

Well, I for one always seriously consider what mags has to say then, thank Britcliffe for the free but large bag of salt it can be taken with, at a pinch.

Re: would you support protest?
 

You have a point, Mancie, hence the lower end of the income bracket being penalised just for being poor. What this so called government need to do is stop handing out our income taxes to foreigners of every ilk who seem to look upon the UK as some sort of milch cow. I still firmly believe that we should kick Europe into touch, but our cowardly subservience to the status-quo makes it a virtual impossibility.
I haven't voted in any election for the last decade, but give us a referendum on membership of the European Union and I will be first past the post.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I didn't know we had any social meaning in this country any more ,if by social meaning you mean solidarity . It's dead and buried by a culture of individualism .

Re: would you support protest?
 

The measure of weight given to any protest in England now usually involves the number of hits that a Facebook campaign gets.

We can't even organise a peaceful sit-in at Peel Street toilets due to a locked door.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Maybe Britcliffes locked himself in, to get away from all the bad publicity over his expenses.

Re: would you support protest?
 

sadly this is true.The french may not be the most ideal role models on many things but they sure could teach us a few things about protesting.If a politition so much as farts in the wrong direction up go the blockades :)

Grab the superglue - QUICK!

Re: would you support protest?
 

That is the point I'm making.. can you imagine Cameron going on record telling the French government they must listen to the people everytime they demonstrate on the streets?..yet he has the arrogance to tell the government of Eygpt and others they should back down because thousands of "the people" protest.

Re: would you support protest?
 

oh i agree its arrogant of cameron, though yer omit to mention Labour are saying just the same, will yeh never learn mancie? all of em are *******.

Re: would you support protest?
 

All successive British governments have only backed revolutions, as long as they think there'll be something in it for them.

They were still supporting Mubarak until it was clear he'd lost. Then it was jolly well done you protesters.

Brtitish governments have supported Egypt for years, despite it being a police state, with one of the worst human rights records on the planet.

Re: would you support protest?
 

whoever gets into power in egypt after the elections you can gurentee america and cameron will be kissing their backsides and offering things at our expense to help them settle in.Could this be because sandy areas tend to have oil in them over that way ?

Re: would you support protest?
 

OK .. they are all the same.. but Cameron is our prime minister and the man on the world stage.. even I don't take much notice of what labour say... so I doubt north africa and the middle east are interested. ;)

Re: would you support protest?
 

Mr.Blair took his family on their summer holidays to Egypt, twice, as the guest of that nice President Mubarak, whilst he was Prime Minister.

Don't start playing party politics.

As Cashy said, they're all cut from the same cloth.

In this case, it was stuffed in Cherie's bulging suitcase, filled with bargain Egyptian 2-fold cotton poplin bed sheets.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Don't disillusion me.

I thought the Arab world was waiting with bated breath, for the next proclaimation about the situation, from that bald Yorkshire man. The one, who in true tight arse Yorkshire style, shares a double room with his young special advisor lad.

Hague.

Foreign Secretary, or something.

That's the chappy.

Please don't tell me the world's not listening to him.

You had it right the first time.. the bald geezer from yorkshire..drinks bitter and is a big player on the world stage.. I imagine Mugabe and such are quaking in thier boots :rolleyes:

oh hes P.M. alright, the mans a crafty reptile Mancie, making all the right noises such as E.U.Human Rights, clamping down on benefits etc etc, every issue he brings up was labours fault, much of it empty rhetoric, but the "Gullible" in society are lapping it up, the man is dangerous n has every chance of conning the public big time this term!!!:eek:

No, they won't be.

Though the people who have answered the advertisment to be his new special advisor, probably are.

:smileysx:

Re: would you support protest?
 

Well no surprise that he ain't conned you..I've got a funny feeling even the "Gullible" will crack on to him and Clegg in the not to distant future.. but then the hardcore "head in the sand" bods will support this disaster of a government to the bitter end.:eek:

Re: would you support protest?
 

I don't know if any of you are aware of UKuncut, which is a grassroots movement by ordinary people to get large companies, who pay little or no tax in this country to pay up.
UK Uncut

They describe themselves as direct action against the cuts. I first heard of them at the beginning of November, when they had started targetting vodaphone. They are now having nationwide protests every weekend.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Maybe you posting this now would have meant a little more if you'd have done it 5 years ago, as I remember very little was don't by Blair, Brown and co in this direction when they had the chance, no, instead they chose to wreck the pension scheme for millions of people to carry on the tax and spend ethos and when that ran dry the started to borrow like there was no tomorrow:mad:

Re: would you support protest?
 

I don't know why you don't save yourself some time, and effort, and just post this...

Very gratifying to know different.

;):D

Re: would you support protest?
 

I have been on protest marches, for specific issues, but things would have to change radically before I took to the streets, to demand a different style of government, from the type we have now.

It's far from perfect, but I feel lucky to live in this country, and don't want to see what we have now overthrown.

:tongueout

Re: would you support protest?
 

Now then, Mancie, lad, you're not trying to tell us that the UK is anything like the repressive dictatorships we've seen on the news recently, are you? For all its faults, the UK is paragon of free speech and democracy compared to that lot. As for "paying for their way of life", have you ever been to a third world country? The most poverty-striken family on the worst sink estate in Britain, suffering as they might be under Cameron's cuts, is living a life of luxury compared to the proletariat in many of these North African countries.

So put that Che beret and combat jacket back in the cupboard, chuck that Guerilla Warfare Handbook back on the shelf and get yourself off down the Bermondsey Arms. The revolution won't be starting today.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Maybe British governments supported Mubarak because that was the stance taken by their buddies in Washington:eek: ... you know, those wonderful folks who gave us the Contras. Quite a lot of US made military hardware is on display in the videos.:rolleyes: Forget about Obama's rhetoric, the US was quite content to have dictators in control. It gave a measure of stability to a volatile region; and the most important thing one wants in a country which is a major source of oil is stability. The reason that the US buys most of its oil from Canada is not the quality, nor the environmental friendliness of its extraction, but the fact that,politically, we are rock-solid stable. And do not British governments have a long history of supporting any government which is friendly to its interests? In this world, oil talks, BS walks. The BS in this case are the pronouncements of western leaders about the attempts of the entrenched to resist popular protests. What they are really thinking is: "How will all this affect the supply of oil"?

But in response to the thread question: I think that the British people should protest in the way that we and the Americans do, and this corresponds to the intent of the First Ammendment to the US Constitution. [Parliament] shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the Government for redress of grievances.

Brilliant post Wyn - but you could have included the Indian sub-continent as well. Did a job in Pakistan (Lahore & Mirpur), a couple of years back. Then I realised why there are so many Pakistanis in UK.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I agree, as I'm sure anyone else would, who'd visited any third world countries.

Poverty is relative. I refute the figure that 13% of children in this country live in poverty, whilst there's access to clean water, education, and a social benefits system which should mean that no one dies of starvation in the U.K.

'A spokesman for the charity said: "Measuring Severe Child Poverty in the UK reveals that 13% of the UK's children are now living in severe poverty and shows that efforts to reduce child poverty have not only stalled but have slid into reverse."
Child poverty fight 'slid into reverse' - UK Politics, UK - The Independent

Sadly we do hear about cases of children living in appalling conditions. However that is child abuse, caused by feckless adults, and not as a result of real poverty.

Since labour's obnoxious, bumbling man of straw shook hands with Mugabe, then claimed he had not realised who it was without his goggles, Hague can still hold his head up high - despite his own peccadiloes!

Re: would you support protest?
 

Yes, at least Hague hasn't shared a double bed with Mugabe.

Though Maggie did famously whisk him round the dance floor, when Mugabe was guest of honour at dinner she held in his honour in 1979.

Which to some would show an equal level of taste, with Li'l Willy Hague's insistence on sharing a bed with his little special advisor chum.

OK..in no way am I comparing life the UK to Libya, North Africa or anywhere else in the world..I was talking
about Cameron sticking his oar in telling the Eygptian government they must listen to the people..Libya looks
like a different kettle o fish.... but I don't live in Africa!
When there is massive protest here not even 8 months into Camerons ill gained premiership he fobs it off .. maybe
I should have asked the question "when would you support massive protest"? should people wait for 40yrs as in
Libya ?..Cameron and his sidekicks would be better off listening to his own country men and women before he
sticks his head into other countries affairs... and before anyone starts harkin on about Blair the same would be
said for him.

PS.. I know of no such pub as the "Bermondsey Arms" and combat jackets maybe all the fashion in Accy but not in my neck of the woods :rolleyes:

Re: would you support protest?

They've forecast showers later.

There'll be none of your protests here.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I know ..It's a local Forum for local people..German Dave the scouse tory knows the in and outs of what is happening here.. and then we have the long gone Andrew as an advisor (I hope he ain't bed hopping).. I don't reckon Accy is a seething bed of protest ..unless the taxi men get the hump about Hollands pies not being fit to eat when facing Mecca..but it will be no surprise to me when we see the return of riots here in our own backyards ... a very sad return to Maggie's 80's. :eek:

MancieThe people in Egypt were at the time oppressed and did not have the benefit of democratic elections. Something we have.
To stick up for Dave and Nick at least we are to have a referendum this year about the voting system, as they promised.
I am still waiting for the Euro referendum promised by Tony and then Gordon........

Lets face it, they are all the dammed same

Re: would you support protest?
 

Just watching BBC Breakfast news.

A report about 1.5 million UK children living in 'severe poverty', according to the charity Save the Children.

They interviewed a woman in Manchester who receives £200.00 per week, for her and her four children.

Big flat screen telly, washing machine. Sat there in tattoos, a neck full of gold necklaces, gold rings on every finger.

Compared to those living without clean water, and the threat of starvation, nevermind that an education is but a dream, this is not poverty, it's fecklessness.

Re: would you support protest?
 

Protest? A bunch of students, along with the usual fellow travellers - Socialist "Workers" (I use the term loosely), anarchists and yobs. Hardly a sign of the general population rising up in a collective rage. But then again, they're not likely to, because life here, even with our politicians' many shortcomings and Cameron's cuts, is a world away from the experience of ordinary citizens in a third world country. Why do you think so many of 'em want to come here?

And, yes, I'm well aware that there's no Bermondsey Arms. It was a tongue-in-cheek, throwaway comment and if I'd said the Old Justice or the Boatman, most Accywebbers (apart from Tealeaf) wouldn't have known what I was on about. You're not becoming one of those humourless Trotskyist types who keep trying to sell me newpapers in downtown Manchester on a Saturday afternoon, are you, Mancie? ;)

Re: would you support protest?
 

Ya I saw the same thing G, its not so much poverty but getting your priorities right, gold necklaces and rings or food on the table, I know which came first when I was growing up

Re: would you support protest?
 

I heartily agree. Cruise any rental area where the bulk of the occupants are unemployed and you can't help but notice the glut of four-by-fours and Sky dishes! According to the Daily Express the government are set to turn their spite on the elderly by abolishing bus passes and the winter fuel allowance. Perhaps the wrinklies (myself included) will lead the nation in taking to the streets!

This is where we disagree.

I've always imagined Mancie hard at it, up a White Bull, or even relaxiing in a Queen's Arms, hardly protesting at all. Merry in ale.

Re: would you support protest?
 

I am employed, I was walking into a Post office to post an item for work.

Some Simple Simon with the same Mindset as yourself, shouted from the window of a rusty Transit van, "Go on you Basketweaver, cash your giro, you lot are a pile of excreta".

I replied that he should really get a life, (similar to yourself), I rent a property, I am in advance with my rent, I have a sky dish outside but I use Virgin, (much faster), you really are pathetic, is it jealousy?

I see no reason you should be jealous of me, but I can see that someone with half a brain, that works hard, could turn you into the spiteful person you are.

By the way, why would you want to cruise a rental area?

Decent folk leave us alone.

They're having a crackdown on people cruising around the streets, checking other people out.

The police are collecting registration numbers of those that do it, and send warning letters to their homes.
