To remind you of the protest march in London on July 1st?

People's Assembly

For those of us who are sick and tired and angry and devastated.

I'm so pissed off about tax payer's money being used on policing these protests. It's all leftie rent-a-mob hooligans who have zero respect for anyone else.

Many many people are not happy.

It doesnt work to claim its just the odd far left Momentum activist any more.

It is many many ordinary people.

I'd rather they didn't have to police something which doesn't have to happen but spent their precious resources keeping us all safe instead.

In which case, I go back to my comments about Trump's visit. We can ask why Theresa May didn't say that due to the number of incidents the Police force have been overstretched and need to be able to rest and recuperate, therefore with regret the visit will have to be postponed, (whilst quietly being jettisoned altogether).

Nope, she didn't say that. Now we have Trump saying he doesn't want to come, but since it's Officially an invitation from the Queen, it gives the Palace the dilemma of having to keep the time of the visit available or slotting some other visit in instead. I don't imagine that Treeza will be flavour of the month up in Buckingham Palace. I bet the Queen will be glad to escape to Balmoral for her holidays.

No answer to the membership of a political organisation question though? I would have thought people should be proud or at least happy to publicly declare their political affiliations (especially if they avow democracy - its going to be hard to get votes for an organisation whose members don't want to declare themselves, isn't it?)

I saw....reported...there is bullying and then there is that

Punch ups and arrests on marches usually happen when EDL are present. Last time I looked they were extreme right wingers, not a leftie among them.

Why don't you organise a protest march about it, everthick? 😂

Ha momentum. And I've changed sex and lost 20 years...hurrah

Ofcourse I couldn't just have these views...could I?

Hang on - are we lefty rentamob yobs or middle-aged women in ugly footwear? We can't be both, surely?

Personally I'm a rather fabulous 40-something with lovely shoes, but I do know my pelvic floor probably wouldn't allow me to charge the police with Molotov cocktails...it's so confusing!

No protests cos of the police not having time/resources.

So also, no festivals this summer. No state visits. No changing of the guard. No summer holidays (too many police needed at airports).

It's like Oliver Cromwell all over again.

Ah it's such a shame some people are so....crass

Hey go and off to march so go

Will post more as I find

cross so what is your suggestion then? If multiple people can't understand you, perhaps you need to explain better

Big My suggestion about what?

I just don't get the point of this protest.

Sure, I'd rather we had no austerity and could give everyone lots of money for lots of lovely things, but we have no money to fund this. The whole point of protesting is to get people to change their mind, but in this case, if the government agrees austerity is bad, well, there's not a lot that they can do!

5th richest country in the world
Austerity is a political ideology NOT a necessity. That is a lie

In my days of left wing political activism we used to think that the answer was to argue and debate and win people over to our political ideas. Is that not the thinking these days? My question about m'ship of a political orgainisation is a perfectly reasonable and polite question which you have not answered ever. If you are not a member of any organisation, just say so.

but we have no money to fund this.

But strangely Theresa May found £143 million down the back of the sofa and thought 'A windfall! What shall I spend it on? I know, I will call an election three years before I need to and give that Jeremy Corbyn a kick in the teeth.'
Whoops.

The idea that 'we have no money for xyz' is total bullshit pringlecat.

Please stop with the lie that this country is strapped for cash. We're not. At all.

The Tories will not be won over to left wing ideas by debate.

But they're going to see a march and go, "oh yeah, labour are right after all," and resign en masse?

cross explain what you are trying to get across for those of us too dim to understand.

exploding yes, no cash, whatever. Can't believe people fall for this crap.

I don't have to Cross Just as I don't have to tell you my shoe size the colour of my hair who I voted for my sexual preferences. I don't have to tell you anything. Or I could just make it up

This is an anonymous forum
This thread is the highlight a march some people want to go on. It was never about why we want to go. Or how we can justify it. Or how infantile we are...or..or

And it certainly wasn't about bullying in any form the people who wanted to march. But that is what it became. Isn't it.

Well they might realise their cuts are causing real harm and that their ideology is unpopular, yes.

Er no, ever. You took an infantile stance and started replying with "lol buzz". Then spat out your dummy when you got called out for being an infant. Look back at your own posts and then question why you feel "bullied".

Finally - but they won't. They genuinely believe that austerity is the way to prosperity. You can question their motives for that, with justification in lots of cases IMO, but it's a firmly held tenet of the party that isn't going to go away.
