Expect a Russel Brand rant about you any day now.

The thing is... There are major corporate governance issues around Site Serve and Irish Water... I see that and while I do not share Claire Daly's politics, I respect her ability to uncover these things...

But sitting on the street occupying a square... I'll use the poll booth myself...

Because I work 50 hours a week and have better things to be doing

The OP wants Irish people to book flights to attend a protest in London to complain about the handling of the UK economy? Good idea.

Boards is a corporate entity, the OP should avoid it.

Yep... This is the part that amuses me as well... I worked next to the Occupy Same Street crew... It all started lovely... They had a sing song and a commitee for who would wash the pots and pans... Then it seemed there was disagreement on what they were protesting and "leaders" were telling the rest what to say and think...

The most hilarious was the day the Troika staff walked by and the lads were too busy teaching each other to juggle (honestly!!!) that they didn't see their "enemy" walk by...

The problem with anarchists trying to get anything done is that they must organise themselves to do it, which of course goes against the idea of being an anarchist.

you can believe what ya like but going by the sharp rise in support for the SNP afterwards I reckon the real result of that election was 55% yes and 45% no

No, the real result was the same as the result you posted in the op. Only 45% wanted independence. 55% realised they were better off.

The real result was 38% yes , 47% no , 15% didn't bother to vote.

And what do you suggest the Occupy Dame Street people should have done to the "enemy" as they walked by? Take them out is it?

A spontaneous guerrilla drum clinic with elements of Brechtian theatre would have shown them.

So... decry an attempt at changing the political landscape - Ireland must have become a Nirvana since I left? **** - knew that would happen...

Not for one second saying this is a good idea, but it has the bones of being one, if used wisely (which it's not) but then very few of you on either side of the fence actual has an idea what the Occupy movement is, what it stands for or what it's hopes are.

And there was that aggressive leaflet campaign where they explained their actions through the medium of interpretive dance.

They could have noticed that the people they were "protesting" against were there, that would have been a start... Instead they juggled, tap danced and smoked away their days until it was time to collect their sole so they could buy some more juggling balls and tap dancing shoes!

There was a rag tag collection of posters away their shanty town protesting:
Oil prices
Gold prices
Fracking
Dog licenses
Medical cards

Last time I checked the Central Bank of Ireland had no influence on such items... But our juggling friends couldn't get beyond their trendy name of "Occupy Dame Street" sounding like Occupy Wall Street"...

So according to you they should have been some sort of all seeing eye and how dare they setup camp somewhere that had "street" in its name. Major facepalm for you

I won't be protesting. My salary has doubled in the last 5 years, I'm in a stable housing situation, I'm about to get married and life has never been better. And all I keep being told is that I'm "an ignorant fook" for not "waking up" to the situation and not being out on the streets sticking it to the man.

So let's see, in the last 5 years I knuckled down and got on with life and worked hard to put myself and my future family in a great and stable financial and personal position, and have achieved exactly that. Meanwhile you've spent 5 years shouting and hollering and juggling balls outside the Central Bank, and achieved nothing. Bravo.

First off, nobody has spent 5 years outside the central bank, never mind doing so while juggling balls!! What the hell are you on about there?

Secondly your I'm alright, your fcuk you jack attitude stinks to high heavens

... And you think there was election fraud in the Scottish Referendum... May we see some proof?

If you google vote fraud Scotland you'll get a lot of links but seeing as how you seem unable to do it yourself you can click the link below to get you started. Also did you fail to notice the imperialists HUGE anti-yes campaign that went on with media, big business and too big to jail banking all rallying behind in the run up to the election??

No because they were (rightfully) removed, Hopefully they will not even get the chance to get settled in this time, made the place look terrible.

Amirani · 03-05-2015 04:26PM

More democracy would be terrible, too many muppets in the electorate.

Representative democracy is as good as it gets really. Generally reduces tyranny of the majority and people "protest voting" on important policy decisions.

So these 10 people could have changed the vote... I'd keep arguing but I have some work to get done so I can pay taxes... You get on with suggesting people fly to London for the week to protest against their elections... Why don't you either do something productive like help those poor people in Nepal...

486,219 registered voters and you cite a report of 10 counts of ALLEGED fraud, here we are almost a year later and there is no proof of any fraud. How about showing actual proof of the alleged fraud.

If you had bothered to look at the link when this news broke or heaven forbid when I linked it there for you a few minutes ago you'd have seen it wasn't about 10 individuals investigated for voting fraud, you've enough time to come on trolling yet too busy to even glance over the proof you asked for!!

How do you know if I have of haven't done anything for Nepal already? I gave a donation the other day, what have you done for the poor people over there yourself?

Jaysus, you don't half put it up to a lad living in the west of Ireland, demanding proof or it didn't happen lol

As I said in the post you're quoting google vote fraud Scotland for many more links to the voting fraud, there's even videos of no counts in the yes sections but then again you've probably seen them as well as other links but just prefer to troll away ignoring the info provided allowing you to view the fraud in talking about, oh and I'm not alone in believing the Scots were robbed of their independence

Well you bought up claims of fraud in the Scottish referendum, you posted links to suspected fraud but like most conspiracy theorists you lack any sort of substantial proof to back up your claims.

Just keep screaming REVOLUTION, I'm sure it impresses the youngsters.

It's not a case of fraud, it's corruption and manipilation.

Case in point: The Fianna Fail era up until 2008.
Murdoch trying to manipulate the UK eelction for the Torires as he did the Australian one for Abbott a few years ago.

No sign of corruption in his links.

As for manipulation, name a political party who doesn't try manipulate the people.

You made the accusation it's up to you to provide the evidence, if you are not capable of backing up your accusations with real evidence then don't be surprised when people don't take you serious.
