Manchester, Plymouth etc.<br /><br />A couple of hundred people in each location may get more of a national feel to it. Get someone to film it and put them on the internet.<br /><br />Look at how many hits those flashmob vids get. You could even get the crowd singing something suitable "Rule Brittannia" or "Jerusalem".<br /><br />There are probably a lot of people who cannot afford the £100s to get to London who want to air their feelings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-46827001001776645512011-05-31T23:45:36.434+02:002011-05-31T23:45:36.434+02:00I have a feeling that this will not just fizzle ou...I have a feeling that this will not just fizzle out. Although, I must say our MSM are doing us absolutely no favours by not reporting what's going on but if the UK Govt is quite happy to censor youtube videos, they'll resort to desperate measures to keep control.<br /><br />Trooper, that is why as the "alternative news" we bloggers have a duty to report the truth of what is going on. We can't rely on anyone but ourselves.<br /><br />We are not helping when we denigrate people's efforts by belittling their reasons for demonstrating. We need to pick out the valid reasons of why they are angry. Those that bunch everyone together with UK Uncut mob are doing a great job for the government!!!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07165615283953837706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-17226799985947043912011-05-31T21:53:43.465+02:002011-05-31T21:53:43.465+02:00I agree with your sentiment, Sue.
The question i...I agree with your sentiment, Sue. <br /><br />The question is; how to harness the power of public anger? Unfortunately the establishment left are very adept at doing this, and directing the people back to the plantation.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-43525040723110668632011-05-31T21:51:35.463+02:002011-05-31T21:51:35.463+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Trooper Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01505221473081871071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-56536670327795046892011-05-31T21:11:22.064+02:002011-05-31T21:11:22.064+02:00Perhaps the demonstrations are a sign that the arg...Perhaps the demonstrations are a sign that the arguments we have repeatedly blogged are beginning to be heard and appreciated.Martin Colehttp://ironiestoo.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-85191637211761374142011-05-31T20:33:20.650+02:002011-05-31T20:33:20.650+02:00There is room for all sorts of action.

With a supine MSM, it is through bloggers that news is found and who are the catalyst for such demos?<br /><br />Stick July 9th in your diary - fancy a trip to London, a little demo in the preparation pipeline......WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752503089313270013.post-36844382813191893422011-05-31T19:50:20.404+02:002011-05-31T19:50:20.404+02:00Agreed.
