Olympic Torch
defuzz:
now I'm pretty happy go lucky kind of guy but I couldn't believe it today, how f%%%%ing dare a British policeman, running alongside the torch and it accompanying chinese "escort" (almost certainly chinese coppers) "body check" people out of the way whilst on a british f&&&&ing road.
rant over, and I'm usually the one rolling my eyes at such rants!!
sardonicus:
All this talk about 'Free Tibet'... where do i get mine? I'd settle for a free pizza right now :)
Seriously though ,before anyone complains,what are china doing there anyway?Just strategically withdraw would be the sensible option in this day and age.
Hmmm dont think the u.s. are pushing the issue though.

They are building a new shooting place which will be torn down when they finish because of the stupid gun laws in this country,
and they are ploughing millions into this when we really need that investment elsewhere in the country

Good point! How can we hold a shooting comp when guns are band!?
9 Million for the statium, 6 of which WE are finding and I HATE the stuffing games!

They can do it because you are no longer allowed to protest in this country!! If you are within a square kilometre of Parliament you MUST get permission to protest, Below is an excerpt from a BBC web site.
"An exception to this was introduced as a part of the Serious and Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. This act bans people from demonstrating in any area designated by the government."
So straight away, things like " greenham common" wouldn't be allowed to happen these days! if you want to protest inside a square kilometer of parliament, you need to ask permission!! [Edited] I thought parliament was OURS!! the politicians work for us, but we are restricted access to them!! We are not allowed to protest near them!! WHY?
They tell us its for national security, which it probably was, but you can bet that they would use this against us? That is why there are no fuel price protests going on! they will not get permission!
and we talk about the chinese abuse of human rights!! Does anyone know who the last politician was that banned hand guns and fox hunting???? NO???
It was HITLER!! he banned handguns so the peasants couldn't rise against him! makes you feel nice about our government dunnit!!
