Scratch that, just heard that Josy is going to lead the Danny Alexander People's Army in a protest on the streets of Inverness tomorrow

[JoshBB]

She'll be the only one going

There is nothing wrong with people being passionate in their political beliefs, they just need to make sure that they get their act together for the next election and put forward proposals and solutions that engage the voting majority. They have 5 years to prepare - no excuses.

tbh any Anarchist or Communist worth their salt would be as vociferously protesting a Labour government as well

David Cameron was also digging his own grave until the Media basically shielded him.

I'm not a Labour supporter, but they only had 8% less than the tories anyway.

But it does matter that is was a tiny minority, because the right-wing press are using that minute instance to invalidate the whole anti-austerity argument.

I wouldn't tarnish everyone as the same, yes go berserk about the individuals that did that, but I don't like how the peaceful protestors are being lumbered in with the trash.

So where are they now?

Anyone who died to build this country would be appalled that the tories are tearing it apart tbh.

Josh,there are lots of things in life I don't like,I don't go out destroying property and disrespecting the dead,it seems people seem to think it's ok because it's against a government they don't like,it's NOT alright,whoever is in Downing Street gets there by votes,it's pathetic people are doing this just because things didn't go their way.I wonder how many of them actually voted.

I think they would be more appalled at their monument being defaced.

My dad fought in the war for this country Kizzy and he wanted to tear up his labour membership card as they put his wonderful country on its arse.

My mother is in her 80s and when she found that the tories were back in she cried.
All the rights good men fought for and worked hard to achieve, the welfare reforms that Nye Bevan introduced are being corroded, we are doing these great men a disservice by not protecting their legacy, that's my view.

Thats OK
not everyone wants Conservative
but Labour put up a Micky Mouse Ed
and kept rushing him around the nation
Except Scotland the place that ED
had to stay hidden
for his own safety.

Dont you know none of that matters any more because one prick with a spray can is apparently a more heinous and terrible thing than the blatant targeting of millions of the most vunerable people in society and the dismantling and selling off of our public services to private companies?
Come on Kizzy keep up its the age of the ***** you Jack im alright mentality.

Its not like the U.N. are on the verge of stepping in because they are worried about the Human rights violations inflicted in the disabled in Britain by the torys leading to the torys to wanting to scrap the human rights act in this country now they have been re-elected.

No that pales in significance to the horror of one dick with a paint can.

No Ammi he will make it ALL about that. I'm not saying that it wasn't disgusting for a few of those people to do that, and he could (and should) address that whilst also acknowledging people's frustrations and fears and - one would hope - at least trying to reassure those frustrated and afraid people that he is there to do his best for everyone and that his government are not a bunch of bogeymen.

He won't do that. He will bleat on about the vandalism and only the vandalism, vilify everyone involved even those who were nowhere near the war memorial, not because he actually gives a stuff about the war memorial, but because it's a convenient excuse for ignoring the fact that people are genuinely horrified about the election results. Not disappointed, not "sore losers", but horrified. Scared. And the fact that he will have no interest in even trying to offer words of assurance, but will instead dismiss those people in a sweepy gesture as "vandals" and "scum", says it all.

Who knows, he might surprise me. I very, very much doubt it.

I read her sign as "I'mma Da Shell" and genuinely spent 10 seconds wondering why Charlotte Church has gone ghetto, and what "da shell" is. I need to go back to bed.


I did actually see a couple of her tweets yesterday.

I also saw some of her posts on Twitter and agreed with them.
