Protests in Kiev

[Mikeegrini]

Passed new laws to make it illegal to protest. The Tories are doing the same here but no one seems bothered. The gagging law is back in the commons today.

Are you taking any notice yet ?

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

I see big Klit's been called in to ease the tension.

In all seriousness though, the world is messed up. Really messed up!

Its only going to get worse as it's now reaching the Polish border.

What gets me is these people are protesting against a government that is supposed to be some kind of ruthless, hardline state... yet that same government has allowed these protests to continue and escalate for weeks now without cracking down on them.

Compare that with this so called 'democracy' that we have in the U.K. ... where any form of protest that is deemed to be inconvenient, no matter how small, peaceful and non-threatening, can be crushed instantly with the police-state powers that exist.

And the last time 20 people got killed in protests in the UK was when?

 

[Plaything of the gods]

What are they kicking of about ?

I think it's about anti-protest legislation.

From their perspective I can see where they are coming from after living under communism for so long.

I haven't really been keeping abreast of it, but I had heard that the right wing was behind it.
