Any solid info on the protests? Struggling to get anything sensible here.
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

Charlotte Church and a bunch of anarchists and students showed up to protest.  And by "a bunch" I mean "less than 100".

A couple got arsey and threw around some smoke grenades, so the police beat the shit out of them

MMIX

At one point a bicycle was hurled at police.
QuoteSeveral hundred people took part in the demonstration with at least 25 black-clad youths wearing face masks, sunglasses and even balaclavas.
Police were forced to close Whitehall to traffic as they dealt with the escalating situation.
A group of the protesters attempted to push their way through barricades, while some smoke bombs were let off.
The Metropolitan Police were forced to deploy officers on horseback and riot police in response to the violent scenes.

Well that patently required the deployment of horses and riot police. I mean, good gracious, anarchists in SUNGLASSES!!!!

I'm with Laurie Penny
Quote'The people vandalising of memory of what the women of World War II fought for are sitting in Downing Street right now.
What is disgusting is that some people are more worried about a war memorial than the destruction of the welfare state.'

Would it be unreasonable to assume that the vandalism was possibly the work of Police/intelligence services? Seems like the ideal thing to get people pissed off at protesters and ignore what any protest is about.


Less than 100 protesters, I'd still place money on there being double digits of undercover cops lurking. Any takers?

No, not unreasonable at all.

Frankly, given what we've seen of the security services, part of me wonders if there might not have been widespread manipulation of the vote in order to ensure that the SNP stayed reasonably far away from relevance.

But that's getting into tinfoil hat territory.

Double digits? I'll take that bet.
I say single digit undercover cops.

I propose the winner gets 3 WOMPs of their choosing.

People died so that you would have the right to vote.

Just something else for you to think about.

People Die because you vote!

Hastler: Do you think you can persuade the court that you're not responsible by reason of lunacy?
Joseph K.: I think that's what the court wants me to believe. Yes, that's the conspiracy: to persuade us all that the whole world is crazy, formless, meaningless, absurd. That's the dirty game. So I've lost my case. What of it? You, you're losing too. It's all lost, lost. So what? Does that sentence the entire universe to lunacy?

Hey, did you hear the one about the kosher elephant in the meeting room . . ?

I found this an interesting read

http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2015/may/09/david-baddiel-i-am-going-to-talk-about-difficult-stuff
QuoteConstantly referred to as the "North London Ed Miliband" ("everyone knows that's just another word for Jewish"), Baddiel points to the construction of the Labour leader as this nerdy, alien outsider who can't eat a bacon sandwich.

I have been waiting patiently for the last month for someone to be honest enough to take the Miliband is a weirdo Jew sub-text and run with it. Apparently I wasn't the only one who heard it.

So, Caroline Dunnage, the new Equalities Minister, voted against same sex marriage.

I'm glad to see that Cameron is taking bold steps to get rid of all that nasty equality.  :horrormirth:

Yeah. That makes me really sad for so many reasons. Not least of which is that I used to enjoy watching her dad Fred Dinenage on the tv when he presented "HOW"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XK0RImTvh0

Wow, that is so darned old I'm surprised it isn't in black and white or maybe cuneiform

Maybe Cameron is hoping that he can convert her with the equalities job. After all the last one has now said she would vote for it. Mind you, she blamed her constituents for not telling her that she should be voting for marriage equality, so maybe she's just a bit slow on the uptake.

She's not on her own though. The new intake are not the happy clappy type, apparently. They seem more like my MP - 10 years a huntmaster and voted against marriage equality - so that's me with effectively no recourse to parliament if I need to go through HIM. Representative democracy? Don't make me laugh.

Yesterday: "Tories are the true working class party" - David Cameron.

Today: "Newly appointed Business Secretary Sajid Javid has said there will be "significant changes" to strike laws under the new Conservative government. A strike affecting essential public services will need the backing of 40% of eligible union members under government plans, he said."

So that took long.
