Is protest allowed in our vibrant "democracy"?

Will the west brit fifes allow peaceful protest on the day and days after that their master comes to view them?. Or will they be too busy clutching their shirts and tugging their forelocks!?.

Wibbs · 15-05-2011 09:41AM

Is just one day without this stuff too much to ask?

Predator_ · 15-05-2011 09:43AM

I think we know the answer to this question, no. They are already ripping down legal posters calling for peaceful protest. When we vote no to something like Lisbon they make us vote again. West Brit anglo saxon rule is what we have in Ireland.

No reference to scraps from the imperial table or liberal do-gooders.

Troll fail.

You do understand that Lisbon(which I objected to BTW) is about Europe, not the UK? That the more ties we have with Paris the less ties we would have with London? That the UK isn't overly EU friendly? That the UK is our biggest trading partner?

You see I got over this lets all hate the engerlish a long time ago. It got old. It got childish. It got a bit dumbed down TBH(when I hear talk of perfidious Albion from some tool in a Man U shirt who has just started shaving. You do think christ is this the descendent of Pearse?). I don't care if some inbred german monarch of any european country shows up. That includes Lizzie 2. If it shows the world that the majority of Irishmen and Irishwomen don't actually give a toss and it's just a minority of hackneyed chuckies fighting a fight where the bell was sounded years ago I'll be happy. There were no winners, the canvas is silent, only a few ranting drunks remain, switch off the lights and go the fcuk home. Please.

Oh, but he does. He always does. Whatever it is you want to happen (or not happen) is going to happen (or not happen) whether you like it or not.

See the problem is that those looking to protest the visit have a rather unfortunate history of blowing people up to achieve their aims. Better safe than sorry and all that.

Coriolanus · 15-05-2011 10:26AM

I don't think it should be allowed. If I had my way, the Republican prisoners would be chained and shackled and made pull her carriage through the streets of Dublin.

Your simplistic view of history is probably a reflection of a simple mind. Take it easy.

Cheers, I will. Do me a favour though and try not to blow anyone up this week. Thanks a lot.

Agreed. Went to the anti cuts march in the winter (one of the days it was snowing) and the pathetic turnout was an embarrasment to the nation. My own brother in law would'nt go because "his boss might fire him if he noticed him there on the TV", :rolleyes:. We are a nation of cowards and that's why we are taking a big fat one up the arse from the elites at present.

Never underestimate the mindset of a west brit royalist troglodyte. They are static.

No hatred for England or the English , just hatred for the feudal parasites.

if people start protesting and no one gives a fuck, does it make a noise

So if we murder a few peopel and burn stuff that we have to pay to fix it will help our economic situation?

Do you even know why the Greeks are protesting? It's becaus ethey dont want any cuts to government spending. The bunch of tools reckon that they should keep spending money at unsustainable levels which resulted in the country going bankrupt in the first place.

At least the greeks have some balls. They are stuck paying debt accumulated by their parasites and at least they can see it. Fair play. The likes of yourself just roll over without question. You are a slave.

The poor public service Greeks want to go back to the good old days of getting Christmas, Easter and Summer bonuses. They want bonuses for using a computer, the turning up for work bonus and the hilarious bonus given to foresters for working outside. Their public service and our public service should get married.

Stupid people having balls only makes them more stupid. Does it really take balls for a mob to break in to a bank and murder a guy in a suit?

Whats your soluation? None of your "slave" and other rubbish. Do you genuinly think the best thing for Greece to do is to continue spending huge amounts more money than they generate? How can that end well? Where do they keep getting money to make up the difference?

What's the point? Do you think you're going to tell the UK or Irish Govts. anything they don't know already? They are well-briefed on the issues. The security is not just to protect the Queen, it's also there to protect people from their own social and political stupidity.

The Queen is probably more sympathetic towards Irish reunification than anyone in Whitehall, just as her husband's uncle (Lord Mountbatten) was. She might have been even more sympathetic had he not been blown up by the IRA - a short-sighted act which set back the cause of reunification by decades. This is someone you want on your side, despite everything. So remind me, again, why there's a need to protest her visit? It's a complete failure to see the big picture. If anything happens to her, you can kiss the last six counties goodbye for good.

Don't think that's the line he was going for somehow...

Not saying go the violent protest route but we are basically sitting on our arses waiting for vincent browne to tell us whats happening. Protests outside leinster house for a start to stop the gov doing whatever europe says would be a good start.

I would join you in a protest to bring that about!

Is protest allowed in our vibrant "democracy"?
