'Police support for protesters is growing as government cuts start to bite.'

A deepening antipathy for the government's public spending cuts has been revealed as the head of the police union said officers patrolling next weekend's demonstrations against austerity measures would have "a lot of sympathy" with the protesters.

Can anyone help me understand why the TUC has timed this for a couple of days after the budget, rather than a couple of days beforehand? I'd have expected them (of all people) to try and influence what he says, rather than pretend that the crowd has gathered in response to it.

In the hope that people will realise how fucked they will be, and will be angrier after the budget than before. Post budget will be a bigger demo them pre. Bet loads of people book onto coaches on thursday and friday

maybe they are smart enough to realise that there is fuck all that we can do to make any kind of serious difference and don't want to try and deceive anyone into thinking differently?

i'm just going for the shits n giggles tbh.

you think? After a couple of high profile sweeteners about petrol prices and raising thresholds and some feeble flapping from NuLab I'm not convinced they will.

Will- yeah but this is the TUC we're talking about. Sowing illusions is part of their mission.

Only problem with that is that they will pick you out as 'a troublemaker'. Stay safe.

could i just say i'm a motorcyclist?

 

[friedaweed]

Got my outfit sorted for the day

 

[DotCommunist]

Brilliant post,and spot-on.Che and Fidel were two of the poshest revolutionaries there've ever been

posher than leon trotsky?

I think not. Look at his specs.

 

[frogwoman]

Ah, but he was Jewish and therefore could be posh, but never entirely posh

 

[DotCommunist]

heh. Read something the other day about icons of lenin still being popular in russia. Cos marx was a foriegner and stalin was a georgian peasant. But lenin was a true son of mother russia. Can't test the veracity of that claim but it did cause me a small chuckle.

 

[frogwoman]

Heh. What about Brezhnev etc?

 

[Proper Tidy]

Did Lenin ever fight a bear though? Eh?

woah. check out that clobber! you only see that shit in sci-fi movies, was he an alien?

 

[DotCommunist]

his great grandad was a chef in the tsars palace hence he is tainted by petit bourgeois royalist ancestry. Also, probably a torturer cos he's ex kgb

 

[Belushi]

[DotCommunist]

look at his burger nipples!

Anyway, it's fast approaching and I've organised nothing. I'd like to come up friday night and hook up with some urbaneers but I'll need a place to stay!

*hint hint*

me ukuncut bod is hopefully giving me a lift there and back- I've hinted at it but not asked directly cos I'm expecting some work to come in and I can't fucking afford not to take the work if it does come in. Worst option is the national express cos coach rides drive me to the cans before I've even booked a ticket.

 

[Proper Tidy]

Why not get a free union coach?

[fractionMan]

Yeah, I sorted that but know exactly zero other people going up.

(plus I don't want to get up in the morning and I fancy a night out before )
