A thread about protesters

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

They’re at it again tonight marching through London shouting ‘all cops are b******* the same police who bash up anti lockdown protestors are marching civilly beside them, what is going on?

Nothing is going on. An assembly is being policed. Had it not kicked off in Clapham Common then the same would have been the case there

This bloody country. We had years of pitch battles in the miners strike, severe unrest from the Irish troubles, multiple cities rioting, finally the poll tax riot. And STILL voted Tories back in.

We're a couple of weeks from ending lockdown so everyone can fuck off down the pub, and still saying protests are a major sin. Saw more masks being worn in one shot of the footage than I have done all week outside.

Miserable racist sexist small minded no marks, the lot of you. Perpetuate negativity until the reality matches your miserable, cold souls. Look after your daughters - stop thinking like, and voting like, miserable men.

A quick peep on wiki suggests that protests are not really confined to the opposition of any party, but whoever happens to be in govt - the largest UK recentish protest being the Stop the War one's at the height of Labours popularity and power:

The Brexit protest, around a million people, was about five minutes ago. But no, let's the Tories bring up Stop The War, I'm sure that wouldn't have happened under a Tory govt.

You get what you vote for.

A miserable fucking country, with unhappy people.

I take it you have been drinking otherwise why label everybody as you did in your last paragraph?
Perhaps why the Tories keep getting voted in is because people realise they are the best option and shouldn't you look after all your children, boys and girls?

Never voted tory in my life mate, and until your brand of 'left' wake up and stop twisting everything to fit your narrow and outdated view you are part of the problem.
*edit - just checked your protest claims and you are quite incorrect, even when taking the most generous figures to support your claim it is wrong. My main point btw was that mass protest is not symptomatic of any one party.

 

[denislawsbackheel]

would that also apply to you if you took part in a protest?

If I was blocking the right of others to go about their lawful business then yes.

I haven't had a drink in 5 years. Britain makes me miserable.

People 'realise' they are the best option? What planet are you on?

We're all guessing. Some of us realise what that means. The rest are doomed to have to pretend their whole lives. Pretend you really know what's best, although it's simply all you've ever understood, a habit. Pretend you know what's real, what would happen elsewise, when really you're just pandering to yourself, covering your own arse for reasons you don't ever challenge yourself over.

Pretend you're a man, you know what that means. Because you don't. No-one does. Get that? Maybe it takes an adult to understand what that means. Not another fake 'man' hiding in the comfort of his miserable relationship with the world. What does it take to be a man? Men have to protect women? Are you nuts?

People have to protect people. From people. That's the reality.

And we all bear that one. People who don't kill are awful as well. Dreadful, vicious cowards will have let this guy go on behaving like a **** for YEARS. All of them, big, strong, 'men'.

But no, go on telling us how the reality is everyone needs protecting from the people screaming that we're not doing enough to keep each other safe. Because everyone's on their own around here. Once you've got a job, and a missus, that's just about the way you'd want it. Especially if you are in the housing market. And that's the main reason Tories are Tories. Because that's what they picked up from their Dad, and that's where they are in life.

Miserable men. Like my dad, like me, like anyone who thinks Boris is a good example of manhood. Like anyone who falls for any of this fake strong signalling from Patel and any other shitty Home Secretary.

Miserable failures, repeating our parents, only less impressively, like ever decreasing circles. No thought, no challenge in those lives at all.

Miserable as fuck, and quietly happy as shit with everyone else being as miserable.

Dad told me there were no great answers. And he was right. And I've personally been burned by the left, and by society's 'caring' types. But nothing compares to the miserable denial he fell into in his dotage, and it's the exact same miserable denial all the rest of you are falling into, because you have no challenge to yourself or appetite for new ideas that will challenge you or inclination to bear the slightest amount of anxiety that you might not have been 'the thing' you set out to be all along.

Laughing my arse off. Like Khaldoon when he talks about UEFA. You've fucking had it, the lot of you. I saw it when I was growing up, I forgot for about ten minutes after Cameron shared pictures of his disabled child, what a fucking unreal country this was, what unbelievable misery we voted for and demanded.

This current lot have got you on TOAST, because Daddy Boris is funny. And you're as powerless to him as you would have been to your real dad when he made three year old you roar with laughter for the first time. You would give him anything. But he ain't your dad, he doesn't love you, all he knows is how to take the money and spin you another wind up when it's time to deliver.

Current conservatism: has no respect for parliament, the fourth estate, the law. And that is pretty much all this country has going for it, apart from generations of wheeler dealers.

I'm more centrist than you, and I don't hide behind pedantry. You know Stop the war was 15 years ago, and Brexit was 'nearly' a million, and about five minutes ago.
