Being seriously annoying is soon going to be punishable by ten years in prison in the UK. Welcome to the fascist state.

For a moment I thought Boris Johnson was looking at life.
ReplyDeleteYes, the concerns of wee little people are annoying. Already got that message.
ReplyDeleteRichard Murphy's article is nonsense. Yes: the UK government does want to clamp down on some forms of protest, but I see nothing inherently wrong with that. For example I fail to see why anyone trying to make a political point has much of a right to obstruct anyone else going about their normal business, like getting to work.
ReplyDeleteYou want to pump out pro-Biden propaganda? That's fine by me. But why do you have the right to block streets to make your point? Murphy doesn't go into that sort of detail, so his article is worthless.
Protests that don't annoy anyone are useless.
ReplyDeleteNon-violence is useless if we're being honest.
ReplyDeleteNon-violence only works when there is a violent faction the Non-violent can point to and say, "Deal with us. Or deal with them."
