What will happen to the Anti Capitalism protesters when it comes to the Armistice Day Parade on November 13th?

[Bobbisox]

They say they will stay till Christmas. I wonder if the parade can go ahead now?
Should they be "forced out" now?
if so, how could this be be enforced,
The Bankers don't give a stuff that these people are protesting !, and what have they achieved by it?

[sith123]

there not protesting for anything if there not staying in there tents lol !

[LoftyLottie]

If I was fit and younger and could physically tolerate the cold and sleeping in tents I would actually consider being there with them. I would consider it, but then decide not because I am not as steadfast and strong as them. I admire then greatly. What they are protesting about is something of great importance - just as important in my mind as rights for women.

[sith123]

lol, but you can tell that they are not dedicated to what they are protesting for as they are not staying in there tents, hence its not really a protest is it?

[LoftyLottie]

I can quite agree,Lottie. Whenever these protest happen-I wish I had the courage...and physical stamina-to join. I always think of it too late.

[Bobbisox]

I am eating my words folks...yes I am,
we now have them camping and protesting on Greys Monument in the centre of Newcastle..
I was wrong and you were right
nur-nur-nur-nur-nur
<<sticks tongue out..LOL>>>

[LoftyLottie]

Are you getting your tent out now Bobbs, ready to join them? I will look out for you on the news! xx

[shaneystar2]

I hope you'll be going along with tea and biccies for them Bobbi :)

[Bobbisox]

nehhh..lol
I like me bed too much LL, I think they read Triggs saying it was 300 miles from me and they thought RIGHT, I'll show the bugger..(me)..hehe

triggerhippy
what is it about our elderly?, why do some of them have such a downer on young people?, if this was a bunch of 50 somethings demonstrating it would be a different matter.

They wonder why they don't get the respect they think they deserve?


trigs...please don't lump *all* 'elderly' together. If that means anyone of pensionable age-then I guess I am one of them-like Lottie-and a few others on here.....and I consider myself very open-minded about the world we live in,and far more accepting than many, of all the cultural,political,racial, ethnic and spiritual variations humanity comes with. ;-))

[Bobbisox]

if I'm in toon shaney, you never know..lol

[sith123]

they stereotype young people as criminals

[Bobbisox]

as I have more or less admitted defeat in this thread, well you would...*Chortlesplutter*
This morning sees the 'drop outs' joining in the protest...(News anchorman's words, not mine, you have to be sooo careful what you write in here )
mind you they have moved back now and the Cathedral will open again

[beso]

Many of these protestors are living on the payments only possible because of the productivity of the system they are protesting againtst.

[Bobbisox]

this very true beso, I feel sorry for these people and never pass without giving them something for a hot drink, as I said, those words were a repeat

Just picked this up:



Not sure it proves anything to be honest, but thermal imaging is cool innit?

I went milling about there with my camera last night, I listened to their views and hung out for an hour or so and spotted this nice poster:
