British LGBT campaigner Peter Tatchell detained by Russian police
 

I guess they will put him on a Plane back to the UK.

Holding a Big Sign on his arrest.
He was asking for trouble.

no one is causing trouble now in Russia, except him :rolleyes:


even Putin speaks english for the first time, few words at least welcome to FIFA world cup 2018 :hee:




even Russia while first having banned robbie williams from their country, he is now allowed to perform there at the opening ceremony

...are you actually aware of the situation in Chechnya that he's protesting, or are you just naturally this dense?

yeah well of course, but no protesting please during a event like a world cup


do it after the world cup :nono:

What an attention seeking idiot :bored:

Events are the best place to protest tbf. Today for example there's a protest going on in Cork to try to stop an Incinerator being built, it's on specifically today because Prince Charles and Camilla are visiting so there will be a lot of media coverage around that area.......... it's the smart way to protest

not the correct platform for protest. He was lucky to escape without a beating.

Bet you'd say the same about Mandela or ghandi

Exactly this

Smart though because with all the worlds cameras on them he's alot less likely to get a beating for protesting something like this :laugh:

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, she probably would

Don't be so thoughtless:fist:

Never knew Charles and Camilla are in Cork why didn't someone brief me so I could have flown over to shake hands :fist:

Peter Tatchell being compared to Ghandi and Mandela? bit reaching there sunbeam :umm2:

Gav was there with his No Incinerator sign :hee:

Would you really or are you joking ? :joker:

:joker: no not serious

what are they going to incinerate?

Too irked to be sarcastic. This guy has given his whole life to fight for equality and human rights, refused money and honours, got beaten countless times.
Pure venom and casual nastiness of some never fails to astound

Rubbish

You know ****, this guy will have statues built for him like suffragettes now.
Let's hope you live to see it

With Camera's on him
The Police know his game.

That's what visible protest is about
Maybe you should turn your attention to what he is protesting about and write some snappy verses about gay people torture in Chechnya

so what is the issue? location?

Thank God for that !! :joker:

I know **** ? I know he's a bloody idiot !!

Yeah, it's right on the harbour in Ringaskiddy, close to where I live as well, close to lots of residential areas They've actually been trying to get planning permission for it for 17 years and just had it granted so there's going to be appeals now on that. I don't understand how they got it (well I do but you know) it's on a site right next to the naval base in Haulbowline which apparently might have to close because of it, a state run facility being closed by a private company??? somethings rotten in Denmark

Yes, what an attention seeking idiot protesting the purging of gay men in Chechnya! How dare he try to make a difference!

Tatchell certainly is fervent about what he believes and like Niamh said, the world's press are in attendance, so probably the best place for a protest. However... while I admire many of the stances he takes, Peter Tatchell and the OutRage! have in the past made it their business to 'out' gay people in the public eye... politicians, clergy... whether they wanted their business broadcast, or not.

He is out of the Police Station
Told Not To Protest , again.

He was just Live on SkyNewsHD
via his mobile phone
briefly.

He was wrong about that. Doesn't change his otherwise tremendous record.
Who else tried citizen arrest of Mugabe :laugh:

Russian police would say that wouldn't they.
At least he provides a nice contrast of principles vis a vis Robbie who is happy to open for Putin, anything to help flagging career

It was a while ago, too. I wonder whether he would do the same now? Probably not. And yeah, the citizens arrest of Mugabe... legendary. Although he was really badly beaten after that.

sounds like someone got a massive backhander, I know they have to put these things somewhere but in a residential area is very suspect

Agree. He was impatient and frustrated that some who were secretly gay did not support gay rights in public. He's matured as a campaigner since then.

It's obvious why they want it right on the harbour too so they can start importing other countries waste as well

Agree. He was impatient and frustrated that some who were secretly gay did not support gay rights in public. He's matured as a campaigner since then.

Probably The Embassy there.

Mandella and Ghandi were no saints either.

They sure wasn't !!!
