Egypt anti-government protests grow

[lizzieloo]

He is fucking gaga

 

[bi0boy]

I'm not going to leave the economy in the hands of economists, I'm going to make sure it is sorted out myself.

 

[dylans]

Yeah yeah. blah blah ARE YOU LEAVING OR NOT?

 

[audiotech]

'Call on the youth to work for the interests of the people.'

 

[kropotkin]

I hope they hang him from a lamppost

 

[butchersapron]

Would he be doing this if the heads of the army were not behind him? (At least for now - early days of Ali's overthrow saw him arguing similar stuff).

 

[pk]

This is pre-recorded shite. He has his plane tickets in his back pocket. This was shot probably lunchtime.

 

[dylans]

Oh fuck. He's not leaving is he?

 

[quimcunx]

If he was very arrogant/deluded wouldn't he have been on telly by now thinking his authority would resolve things?

Yeah - odds on hes packing his bathing suit and gold bullion right now. But you never know with tyrants.

He was just changing his pants then.

 

[bi0boy]

My fellow citizens...I have exhausted my life for the country in hard times...we will continute steadily on our path with more steps to democracy, more employments blah blah.

 

[lizzieloo]

So he did get them into position under false pretences

 

[Santino]

I'm not going to leave the economy in the hands of economists,

I happen to agree with him on that one.

 

[audiotech]

'We have weathered hard times. One people, one nation.'

New steps to the rule of law, democracy, freedom, blah, blah, blah.

Is Clinton under the table?

 

[lizzieloo]

Oh fuck. He's not leaving is he?

No, is he fuck

 

[pk]

He is leaving!

 

[dylans]

Oh fuck.

 

[lizzieloo]

What was that?

 

[Balbi]

HE'S DISSOLVED THE GOVERNMENT.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckj

 

[goldenecitrone]

Oh fuck. He's not leaving is he?

What's he got to lose? He's 82 and power has obviously addled him, like Mugabe.

 

[pk]

No he isn't!

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Would he be doing this if the heads of the army were not behind him? (At least for now - early days of Ali's overthrow saw him arguing similar stuff).

They must be.

I still can't see him staying. He's just promised just about everything to everyone.

Ah, here comes the chop. 'New government, but I'm staying.'

Surely nobody is going to buy that.

 

[bi0boy]

I have made the government step down today....I will designate a new government tomorrow

 

[lizzieloo]

He is leaving!

and coming back the next day

 

[Kaka Tim]

LAst gasp appeal for calm before bowing to the inevtiable?

 

[audiotech]

He's staying put.

'God save Egypt.'

 

[pk]

Was it live or what?

Looked like a tape. could have been a tape... could have been shot yesterday!

It was broadcast on Egyptian state telly, right? I mean the source... there were no live journos from world networks there right?

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Was it live or what?

Supposedly. Broadcast on all Egyptian stations.

 

[stuff_it]

Oh fuck. He's not leaving is he?

No, he has sacked the rest of the Govt instead, tried to blame it all on them!!!

 

[bi0boy]

Was it live or what?

It was meant to be live a few hours ago...perhaps it was recorded then.

 

[goldenecitrone]

The only way this cunt is going to go is being dragged out and strung up.
