Haven't we enough of our own protesters without these foreign nationals causing mayhem in our capital over what is happening thousands of miles away in the Democratic Republic of Congo?

If they are all that concerned, why don't they leave England and go back to the Congo and sort the trouble out there?

Then what are doing about it yourself Gromit, have you been over to the Congo, did you join them in Trafalgar Square, have you sent a strongly worded letter to their London Embassy?

None of these, I suspect, so still the mass rape, genocide, and repression goes on, or perhaps you think it would be quite in order to send our troops out there, so that you could later criticise them, for being there?

Tell us what your solution is Gromit?
Did anyone else notice this excellent Freudian slip from Sunday:

"They have abused our hostility, and therefore deserve to be sent back from whence they came"

A gun boat to the Congo? Heart of Darkness time?
Well that's me (yellow), triggs (blue) and helen (red) stuffed then ;)
Get off your high horse, AOG - it doesn't hurt any of us to know what's happening in other parts of the world. That God that this is a free country, and people are ABLE to demonstrate.

No not in the least if you are prepared to do something about it, but how can a unruly mob in Trafalgar Square, possibly illustrate to you what is happening in other parts of the world?

I am not against anyone demonstrating in a correct manner, providing they have a domestic grievance, but not against what is happening thousands of miles away and which has nothing to do with us anyway.

Ah so that's it is it?

I have committed that almighty sin again, that being, daring to criticise those with darker skins.
