A classic case of “you couldn’t make it up”.

Except that they did, of course. 🙂

Hmmm.

A classic diversionary tactic, if you ask me. :rolleyes:

Surely you can tell us which protest and in what year, Lincoln 7?

That’s a random and desperate attempt to find fault with my argument, we are talking about people deliberately organising marchs and knowing full well what the result will be even before the plans are finalised.

It was neither random nor desperate. Chucking epithets around does little to strengthen one’s own argument, you know.

You’re just presenting a determinedly distorted view of an event and an organisation that you personally dislike.

I refer to the mainstream march organised by the TUC, of course.

The anarchist thugs have neither affinity nor respect for any cause bar their own, and are no more than common criminals.

So you know absolutely that none of these thugs is a TUC sympathiser? I can’t be that sure.

You do know what an anarchist is, don’t you?

On a final note, I can’t help but point out that the membership of trades unions encompasses a very wide spectrum of political opinion.

In fact, I personally know of three lifelong Conservative voters who took part in Saturday’s march.

But you probably don’t want to hear that, either.

We are not going through all of this nonsense again.

Either discuss the subject in a calm, adult manner – or you won’t be discussing it here at all.

It’s your choice, gentlemen. I’m just as happy either way.

Greed combined with a desire for instant gratification is the problem, on both sides.

Go on then enlighten me. You may want to add some gritty northern humour as well. I hope my sides don’t split though.

I’ll decline your kind invitation.

Reading the above, you seem to suffering quite enough as it is. :rolleyes:

Your auction link hasn’t been moddedid.

Is it cos I is Black?

Don’t push your luck, Sunny Jim! :diablo:

You clearly haven’t got the point of my post, the people organising the demos in the first place know very well what they will have tagging on to them and what the end result will be, there’s nothing arbitrary about it.

Car manufacturers know perfectly well that some of their products will be driven by drunks, sometimes resulting in the death or injury of some innocent party.

Others still will be used to facilitate other crimes, such as bank robbery and kidnapping.

Following your logic, every time the driver could not be immediately identified liability would immediately pass to the manufacturer of the vehicle – or perhaps the dealer who sold the vehicle.

A ridiculous notion, and one that falls apart under even the most cursory scrutiny.

And yes they should all shoulder the blame for the criminal damage and costs incurred, give them something to think about when they get back to their comfy offices overlooked by posters of knowing and excercising their rights and Scargill glaring out across the room.

Give me a break these middle class, over paid, trouble makers really need to realise what they are doing.

Be honest – you don’t approve of the reason behind Saturday’s peaceful demonstration by over 250,000 people and you don’t approve of the body that organised it. Do you?

The anarchist groups responsible for the violence and damage we saw on Saturday have nothing whatsoever to do with the TUC – as I’m sure you’re already perfectly well aware.
