Hyperbole and spite from Toby Young - who calls himself "Toadmeister" on Twitter. Freudian?

"Tsunami of violence" indeed.

targeted by UK Uncut, a far-left group that organises “sit ins” at companies it believes to be guilty of tax avoidance.

heh, as opposed to having actually avoided massive tax bills in a manner highlighted by even the torygraph

which will cost the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds.

the important bit readers, the taxpayer. Nobody on the march will have ever paid a shred of tax. Probably exist on some vast VAT dodging network of muslamic parallel economy.

The poor Toad's confused. Only the day before, he claimed that the Budget "wasn't a budget for families". It would seem a PPE degree doesn't equip one to think critically.

Is there a thread for betting on how many people turn out?

What a charmer.

Loved this:

How does smashing windows "make a difference for all of society"?

The windows IN YOUR HEAD. At an event that HASN'T HAPPENED YET...

 

[nino_savatte]

What a charmer.

Loved this:

Yeah, that was class.

It must be tough to grow up as the child of parents so blatantly and publicly socialist, but that's no excuse for Young being such a reactionary twat....

The Woodcraft Folk are organising lots of things for kids both on the march, and also in Hyde Park.

really?? I am sitting cheering this already in Edinburgh btw, give 'em hell folks!

 

[nino_savatte]

Fuck the police.

 

[Brainaddict]

To be honest I'd be wary of the Curzon Street convergence space. It's such an obvious target for the police - I'll be surprised if they don't shut it down either tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

[killer b]

apparently yougov have 52% approval for tomorrows march btw. 32% against.

 

[moon23]

Great, take it we can go for a pint then?

However

Guardian/ICM poll finds 57% support for current or deeper cuts, despite a fall in economic confidence

[killer b]

but they also have the lib dems on 16%.

 

[killer b]

also, fuck you.

 

[weepiper]

also, fuck you.

 

[moon23]

Yea but when you add the Conservative vote that's way more than Labour.

 

[killer b]

it's also way more than reality.

fuck you.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Oh, the shame!

I just told the fool on Twitter his parents would have been so ashamed of him. "Know my parents, did you?", he responded. "No. You?", I said. Fucking pillock.

 

[nick h.]

Do you reckon the mood will be energized by the recent displays of people power in Arab countries? We've had non-stop adverts for revolution for weeks and weeks.

Yeah, so how was the poll conducted, what was the size of the sample and what was the margin for error? Furthermore, are you using that poll as a justification for: a) your continued existence and b) as a vindication of your glorious government's economic strategies (such as they are)?

I'd like to see how the questions were phrased - having once worked in market research, I know how these things work. How much do the respondents understand phrases such as "structural deficit", "budget deficit" and "national debt". Also how have they obtained their knowledge/information of the cuts and why do they think they are necessary? I smell a poll full of loaded questions. Over to you.

I'll save you some time. I found this

ICM Research interviewed a random sample of 1014 adults aged 18+ by telephone on 23-24 March 2011. Interviews were conducted across the country and the results have been weighted to the profile of all adults.

Of course, people can and do say anything over the telephone.

Toby would welcome free and frank discussion of his parents' thoughts on his political opportunism and social parasitism as well as other topics:
