Where is it then?Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostIn light of the TUC and recent student demoes, poll to follow.
Yes I went on a peaceful anti-ID cards demo in Parliament square just before they were outlawed. Luckily incognito hadn't brought his boot-boy thug scum to our capital that day so did the protest and went home.
Happened across Brian Haw who I think is a bit misguided and eccentric but perfectly harmless unlike boot boy scum.Comment

You can call us what you want, what gets up my nose though is people who protest at the state of the country and the actions of the state, yet are the first ones who go crying to the state when they get a taste of their own medicine.

And no, I've never been on a demo."I hope Celtic realise that, if their team is good enough, they will win. If they're not good enough, they'll not win - and they can't look at anybody else, whether it is referees or any other influence." - Walter Smith

Some peoples' choices might depend on clarifying that.
