    I'm just surprised the yanks haven't invaded Luton yet as part of the war on terror
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        It's been violent for a while. It's not at all clear that it was the police using firearms that escalated the situation.

        Another region has declared the president an "illegitimate head of state" apparently. I suspect we're going to be looking at a full on schism by the end of the week. I suspect Yanukovich will be looking to get the previously vetoed reforms through parliament ASAP before things get any worse. It's either that or get the tanks rolling by the sound of it.

        While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

          I also do not recall any shooting in violent London riots or any anything as a matter of fact. The closest to mortal casualty was Polish girl who almost got burned alive in her flat in Croydon.

          Why double standards?
          If UKIP are the answer, then it must have been a very stupid question.

            The London rioters didn't have guns. If they had SO19 would have been out like a shot.

            Have a look online, there is plenty of footage of protesters armed with rifles and pistols. I have some sympathy for them but to suggest they are wholly innocent or non-violent is simply bollocks.

              Really? I thought the videos of London rioters with guns shooting at police helicopters showed that some of them did.

                  If wonder if the French authorities are getting ideas - they're always having riots.

                      I am not convinced. The Media in Eastern Europe are owned by foreign interest. I know how incredibly biased they are because events in my own country are being shown in completely untrue light by local (global) TV stations - and are strongly biased towards war and unrest mongering. You should not believe what you see in media. Our region suffered enough, they should just let us be. Go to India and China and leave us alone (to warlords).

                      Violent participants who are usually exposed as mercenaries are usually implanted from other countries, as we experienced in November 2012 and 2013.
