What happened did they suddenly realise that there are bigger players? Next stop Bejing? New York? Or have their dole cheques come in? Time for sipp up for a fortnight? Gawd elp us!

Nothing patronising about my comment VE, just factual- try it sometime.

[vetuste_ennemi]

OK, I play the Jack Nicholson role, and CalicoGirl the Louise Fletcher one.

[Calicogirl]

Sure it's not the other way around VE? ;-)

[vetuste_ennemi]

(Two flaws in that post. One is that CalicoGirl has retired early from the profession, and the other that I never entered it. No, second gardener in school production of Richard II - "yon dangling apricocks", which I think is a fruit reference.)

[Mamyalynne]

You can get pills for those ;-)

[Calicogirl]

Or at least a surgical truss :)

[vetuste_ennemi]

Long after "dangling apricocks" a much older VE was reminded of this from the same play:

"I live with bread like you, feel want,
Taste grief, need friends...".

[Calicogirl]

You have no idea how apt that is VE x

[Mamyalynne]

We all do, whether beggar or King - Good Night all.x

Conflated in my own head (until I Googled and disentangled it) with Shylock's:

"Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed?".

Well y'all this be all too high brow fer me, and talking about brow I sure is working up a sweat. Time to settle on the front porch, kick back, and down some of of that there corn licker...Yahoo!

[vetuste_ennemi]

I'll join you in my MAGA hat, Sanmac.

[Calicogirl]

Always a conversation starter, a MAGA hat :)

[shoota]

Woohoo....

[shoota]

Sorry, my last should read ''Woo-woo''.....

/// hard to use just one word to describe a group of thousands of people of all ages from all walks of life. ///

In their case 'ANARCHISTS'.

[anotheoldgit]

Since equality is what is strived for these days, and since the Left have been given an opportunity to register their particular protest, perhaps it is now time that the Right-Wing were now given a chance to protest their concerns?

Do you think that they would be given such freedom to hold up London's traffic or even dance a jig with the police?

I doubt very much if they would even be allowed to march, never mind camp out on London's streets, over such a long period.

I'll choose my own words but thank you for the guidance.
