Default Media blackout

What is going on?

There is a protest march in London today and yet there is nothing in our media, there is a live link on RT....except for some reason google won't connect to RT for me, every other site no problem but not that one :/
There are also no results for a protest today on google.

Perhaps people are fed up with protests, and the media are using the space for more interesting events - such as a clog dancing festival being rained off in Tintwistle Lancashire or similar worthy news.

There are protest marches every day of the week in London, everyone with a grievance makes their way there. If they reported every one there'd be no room for other news.

Kirk is right, people have been ground down by uncaring politics and are now submissive and subservient, and so not interested in things like marches and protests.

That's what you were saying, right Kirk?

Fed up with experts and protests? Wow what a nation of lowly serfs you envisage.

The referendum is finished. More people should have got off their arses then, not now... to march for no purpose and then wonder why the press isn't interested.

Protests are great when they're done right and for something that can actually be changed, but when they're done every other week, for something that is just not going to change, they sort of become redundant and quite a nuisance for the people who are just going about their business in the area I imagine, my reaction whenever I hear about protests these days is generally 'oh, what for now?' because they're so common I just can't keep up with what's being protested against, people get their megaphones and signs out for anything these days, it's lost it's power and I just don't really care anymore.

Red Kirk's post, then read TS's and then you will see that is not "exactly what he said".

Anyhoo... no one's interested in another protest that won't change a democratic result.

You took obvious umbrage at my post because you took what I said at 'FACE VALUE' and thus responded with the comment below:

"Fed up with experts and protests? Wow what a nation of lowly serfs you envisage."

THEN - ToySoldier responds to my post with the sarcastic comments below:

"Kirk is right, people have been ground down by uncaring politics and are now submissive and subservient, and so not interested in things like marches and protests.

That's what you were saying, right Kirk?"

To which Livia - rightly counters that the above is NOT what I was saying, BUT because it is Livia who has corrected your buddy, you then post:

"That is exactly what he said".

Which is it?

Am I saying the things which you responded to?

Or the TOTALLY OPPOSITE things which ToySoldier SAYS I am saying, for which Livia corrected him, and which you then CLAIMED that I WAS saying?

Confused? I am.

If I did not exist ToySoldier would Troll himself.

And if you were all alone in this world, you would argue with yourself.

Life is really sad for some it appears.

You agreed with the statement that people have had enough of experts during the referendum and following it you now suggest that 'people' have also had enough of protests....clearly not as they are still protesting in their thousands.

I would prefer it if you didn't refer to people on this thread as trolls please.

I can iron out any disagreements without your input, it's not necessary for you to police the thread thank you.

Hands up whp wants serious debates to go back to being about debates, instead of incessant trolling and bickering?
