I woudn't even go on that BarrieIsn't there a "Revolution" on the Pleasure beach at Blackpool?
would you support protest?
- Thread starter Mancie
- Start date
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!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
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.

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.
"..but what can a poor boy do in sleepy London town,
'cos London just ain't no place for a streetfightin' man."
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

Told you.
They've forecast showers later.
There'll be none of your protests here.
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.
and then we have the long gone Andrew as an advisor (I hope he ain't bed hopping).. .
wonder if Tory intern fees can be claimed back from your local 'home' Council , much like university grants used to be
Mancie
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
The people in Egypt were at the time oppressed and did not have the benefit of democratic elections. Something we have.

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.
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?
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
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 forget you have the advantage over me.
Being able to read the 'Unemployed' tattoo on people's forheads.

Not at all mate...downtown Manchester?..umm is that near Old Trafford?
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.

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.
'Honest love.'
'I was only driving so slow, peering out the window, trying to work out if they were on the game...not game!
'Dole!'
'Scroungers on the dole.'
