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.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
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 tossers.
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.
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.
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.

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.

No, they won't be.
Though the people who have answered the advertisment to be his new special advisor, probably are.
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.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!!!
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.

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

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

Thank you.
I always assumed no one bothered reading mine.
Very gratifying to know different.
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.

just got back from a 'hot' of the world. We managed to get some Western Doctors and their families out...the joy of Biz jets
Felt sorry for those that are there, maybe the dictator has now left.

It being your neck of the woods, think about you everytime it's on the news.
Take care.
