Where are they off to next after the "travellers" issue has now been dealt with.

My guess back home to Mum & Dad to get some more funds.

Jeez I wish I lived in the real world and was a left wing activist.
 
These people really do my head in.

There was one american woman there speaking on Sky news about it being a disgrace. Living in America for most of her life, she obviously has no idea of the detrimental effects on local, honest, hardworking residents lives that a gyppo camp brings with it.

Most of them are silver spooners, never done a days work, will never need to. Just happy to go around interfering in every little thing, costing our country millions as a result and the truth of it is, most of them don't really have an idea of what they're protesting about.

I tell you where they will be. At home in a stinking flat or uni dorm browsing the Amnesty International website to see where they can next stick their oar in.
 
Has it ever occurred to you digipeep/robfosters that the left wing(???) 'silver spooners' you talk of, who are out there braving the cold, might actually feel that what they're doing is important?. Just plain and simple. And that one day you might require them to protest something that you care about!.

They won't though will they? They protest for the sake of protesting - how can they possibly really deeply care about every successive issue they 'protest'? They're there for a barney.

So true.

It's just like the 'Occupy' people. There are some in Edinburgh's St Andrews Sq. Not a lot, they've stuck up flags with all your usual BS (free hugs, we love you come talk to us etc.)

Now I don't mind that. At all. They are free to waste there time however they wish. What does bug me is that on each side of the Square, there is a police van with six men in it. Now that's 24 men our taxpaying money is being wasted on for the police to sit in a van 'protecting the rights' of the protesters, instead of pursuing the threat of real crime on the streets...

It's bloody hard enough as it is to find one police man! Let alone 24!

Id blame the law regarding protesting for that.
 
I can't say I support them too much, particularly the dale farm people. The thing that annoyed me about Dale Farm is that some of them were standing in the way of police and obstructing justice. Those travellers were breaking the law and had been for many years.

the occupy (XYZ) people I can tolerate a little more as it's quite impressive what they have achieved and what they want to do so you have to admire dedication to a cause if you believe in it or not.

I've been reading the Occupy LSX website and tweet and some of it is quite amusing; they are trying to set up a bank account but do so without funding capitalism. Also some of the request are quite funny, does anyone have any solar panels? We need a projector (we can't give it back)! Does anyone have the ability to move large amounts of water?

I suppose there are elements who are there for trouble. But in the main, no, I disagree. The vast majority of protests I've been to/protestors I've met have been none troublesome, full of purpose and more than justifiable (not that a person has to justify protest!).

As for the mention of the occupy 'x' protestors. It's hilarious really, how people can be against groups of individuals who go out, in the cold/rain/etc, and actually protest for your benefit.

I had a mild argument with someone last night, they said "What a waste of time. Protesting never changed anything". I literally burst out laughing.

Show some independent thought sheeple!. In-fact, go get involved. If you object to uneven distribution of global wealth, gypsies being evicted from unused land, whatever, grab a sign, go give a bag of food to the occupiers, whatever :).
 
you know there was absolutely no point in evicting those travellers, I mean against the basis of cost, was it really worth all that tax money just because they built on a bit of land they shouldn't of. seriously the council should have done a cost/benefits analysis

1) It's called the law, it needs to be enforced
2) How would you like if all the houses in your street apart from yours were knocked down and the land was used for a gypsy camp?

Yes there was, equality under the law. Just because someone makes it difficult to enforce the law through repeated (taxpayer funded) appeals doesn't change the fact that the law applies to everyone, not everyone except travellers.

Or should we just abolish all planning controls for everyone and be done with it?

So we should pick and choose which laws to enforce based on cost to the taxpayer?

Holy crap, i've read it all now! :D
 
I heard they are all furiously googling so they can use terms like Fiat Currency to make it sound like they know how economies work for when they join the 'Occupy' protests.

It would have looked bad at a legal stand point, if everyone could now just build on land they couldn't, they would use that example as leverage.
