They'll be dead as a parliamentary party for a generation. There's no way back for them now. It comes down to whether they can salvage the local parties - ie whether the local parties decide to fight for their own political lives and screw the MPs. That's where their power base is. 4000 councillors and dozens of councils where they hold power or the balance of power.

The local parties CAN NOT force their MPs to fall on their own swords, even if they elect a new leader. :facepalm:

Wut? You think the local parties would force a leadership election, and then vote for a leader who won't take them out of the coalition?

Yeah, sure. :D
 
lol sky news just had a clip of an aspy nerd student from central castings cwying about how he didn't expect such violence, lol.
 
Just read the whole thread, all very encouraging especially when coupled with what's been happening with wikileaks and anonymous.

And people on here are right. The real riots are coming, this is just a taster. I didn't realise that gentlegreen was an idiot before today either but as they say, scratch a liberal...
 
Genuine question, where has there been anything bias in the BBC’s rolling coverage of the protests? :hmm:

Only I’ve had it on in the background all afternoon and it seemed fair enough to me, their reporters seemed genuinely surprised and shocked when the police made the fucking stupid horse charge, which was shown in full from the air.
Only every protest ever. The way they always and I mean always, side with the police. even after Ian Tomlinson as killed, they still just chugged along on the official line. Never deviating. What else would you expect?
 
They are bring held on the bridge in the freezing cold. Been over an hour now despite being told it was only going to be for 'a very short time' on loudspeaker.

Clever tactic, it'll be even colder on the River so the police probably think they'll freeze them into submission :hmm:

Lovely how the BBC "news ticker" says police are "trying to move protesters across Westminster Bridge".
