A Jo Malone candlelight vigil was held.

It's a pity brain cells refuse to occupy them.

08-12-2015 08:12PM

What's their beef with BT? Can't imagine BT staff are exactly the reason behind the recession.

bigpink · 08-12-2015 08:13PM

Prob cause its a shop for rich irish people

kneemos · 08-12-2015 08:14PM

Thought austerity was working?

VinLieger · 08-12-2015 08:14PM

Aww thats cute

NachoBusiness · 08-12-2015 08:15PM

Ironically it's usually the brown thomas that does the occupying.

RobertKK · 08-12-2015 08:15PM

They can't afford designer gear and Bank Of Ireland wouldn't loan them the money to buy at BT...

AllGunsBlazing · 08-12-2015 08:15PM

Maybe they were getting a bit of Christmas shopping done while protesting austerity? Two birds with one stone and all that.

The_Valeyard · 08-12-2015 08:16PM

Ah surely they could occupy a job somewhere.

Fluffy Cat 88 · 08-12-2015 08:16PM

I'm going to start a Pro-Austerity rally tomorrow. We're going to occupy Pennies, the dole office and the Credit Unions.

Wear your best Chanel, Prada, Louboutins, and a big Hermes handbag. Pull up in a big Mercedes. Big banners studded with swarovski crystals...

Most people don't have time to protest, that thing we call 'work' gets in the way.

jamesbere · 08-12-2015 08:18PM

So where is the usual garda brutally videos that accompany these protests

What?

Archeron · 08-12-2015 08:20PM

Has there been any Occupy Mannings Bakery yet? I'll do that, I like cake.

Kev W · 08-12-2015 08:24PM

It's like the protest version of window shopping. Utterly pointless to the point of absurdity.

Imagine how utterly thick the guy who first said "to Brown Thomas" must be.

You have a lot of asses occupying Brown Thomas here, right?

Well usually a Brown (John) Thomas got that way from occupying an ass.

08-12-2015 08:25PM

Meanwhile the rest of the country worked to pay their benefits!

If you have to explain it (badly) then your 'joke' is crap.

Being edited to remove the provocation.

They've got it all wrong.

Few businesses are as much against austerity as BT, They want us all to have loads of money and spend it (preferably with them)

They should be going to Aldi or Mr. Price or the Euro shops if they want to object to austerity.

Unless they work. Which is possible.

Was that meant to explain the joke?

I'm more confused now.....

Literally.

Polis turn up to protect south side shock.

Dozens of gardaí from a number of Dublin stations – including at least five from the Mounted Support Unit – responded

Meanwhile I was stabbed 17 times on Talbot street by junkies. In half an hour.
