So Many Protests

[lankeela]

all round the world - what cause would make you feel strongly enough about to attend a protest?

[Togo]

We should organise a protest about all the protests that are being allowed. :))

[Arksided]

Nothing except, a march against protesters when we're on lock-down... nobs!

[Arksided]

Woah like it Togo :-)

[Peter Pedant]

luckily I can be sure no one reads this
1.girlie protest - I feel gurlz shd be safe on the streets at night (*)
2.cheerfully show my bum to Prince Harry shd be venture to blighty for his grandpapa's funeral. Clearly the old boy has to be dead before they plant him
3.terrorism - fi someone organsied a march against terrorism in Manc I wd probably shift my arriss down there
phew !

[Peter Pedant]

(*) yeah foo oops forgot

In kowloon around 9 pm I asked a young leddy if she wished to be walked to the bus/taxi/rickshaw etc
and she said No - you just dont understand - the chinese men just dont attack women at night. I get on the bus
and I said - yeah I agree - I dont understand

I hate marches and protests; I feel they bring out the worst in people, in that they try to put many loud voices above the democratic process. I don't want our laws to be made by angry crowds.

[237SJ]

^ Angry crowds got votes for women and equal rights for gay people

[Arksided]

I'm a bit drunk Peter so some points made sense.

[Peter Pedant]

well luckily atheist I can assure that a law has never been made on a protest march - phew !

[woofgang]

I have done and still do other things to get my voice heard about things I care about but no I wouldn't attend a protest. My old dog needs me and family comes first.

[tamborine]

Bridleways - am protesting against it being used by vehicles for developers.

[Atheist]

237; and got people lynched and lots of other bad stuff.

[Peter Pedant]

I cant remember when the last person was lynched on a demo in dear old blighty
I mean we dont do that sort of thing do we?

[Atheist]

tamborine; why should developers be deprived of their legal rights because of loud sharp-elbowed nimbys? If you disagree with them, then you should participate in the legal processes that we have put in place to ensure fair play, not simply shout and try to override due process.

[Atheist]

PP, I never mentioned Blighty; but mobs can cause bad things.

[Atheist]

..Like attacking paediatricians because they (the attackers) are ill-educated.

[fcc]

Sometimes you have to listen to the quiet voice.

[tamborine]

Athiest I have objected to developer & Council but.....am informing RSPB as there are kestrals nesting

// ..Like attacking paediatricians because they (the attackers) are ill-educated.//

as even the article says: it is more than 20y ago
about the same time around me ( newton heath) someone lynched a pedo and then had to say to the judge - oops judgey wrong house

[Peter Pedant]

judge went more than oops but I think he got less than 10y
