London Demonstration

[TheTruthHere]

All this trouble and fighting with Police are they all on drugs. Years back when people went on a demo there was never any fighting with Police and there was never any deaths or was there ?



It was a Thursday, but many employed workers had taken the day off to show solidarity with the unemployed. When mounted and foot police launched a series of truncheon charges, the workers fought back with banner poles and torn-up park railings.

Three days later, a second demonstration of 150,000 assembled in Trafalgar Square. Again, the police attacked, the workers fought back, and speeches continued from the platform.

Two days after that, a third demonstration battled police cordons to reach Parliament and present a million-signature petition. 80,000 workers broke through. Running battles continued across the West End into the night.

Funny how the Polish government could subsidize their coal mines to keep people in work.

1893 when two miners were shot dead by the army.

A pointless and repetitive topic.

No sqad, not at all, c'mon now, we are all entitled to our views here, and you know mine all too well on Mrs T and her acts of cold indifference to the Miners?

[TheTruthHere]

Sense, sense.... they don't call her Mad Maggie for nothing

[Sqad]

Bobbi.....I agree you are entitled to your views, but it is the same people saying the same things, all over again. Give me the name of the poster and I will tell you what they are going to say about Lady Thatcher.....they are THAT predictable.
