Still 'tens of thousands'

Gardian has it at 500,000. Police said yesterday they expected 300,000. Standard rule is to x4 any police estimates in my experience.

Yup they keep looping it over, the one with the tory minister too. Putting my teeth on edge.

I know damn balanced reporting, how dare they let a government minister express a view.

The Graun are reporting the Porsche shop in Park Lane was attacked earlier on.

I thought you were going to go and wedge your enormous fat gut between the coppers and the protesters, Champion of the People?

 

[Maurice Picarda]

It probably wasn't a very big banner.

They'll shut them later when the protest starts breaking up. Hyde Park will probably shut

You'd think with such a remarkable demonstration they would make more than one person available for comment.

You fucking bellend.

how is it balanced if the same views are looped over and again every half hour?

Good coverage for a celebrity, what with his Yes to Fairer Votes appearances this week he is getting around.

Rumours that a horse is about to be torched!

The trojan one

Ok Moon, however I'd like to hear from a Government minister who has a better grasp of the facts than Maude does. Also one who doesn't keep bleating on about what happened over a year ago and explains his own policies would be good too!

This. Fuck off moon.

oh, I've not even seen it yet (except for picture on here).

Yes they should do. I agree that some of the cuts are wrong (for instance I’d rather see Trident cut), but I can't accept the idea that we don't need any cuts. Maude is right that part of the reason these cuts are being felt is because we are now spending so much on servicing debt. Also he's right that if we fail to tackle the deficit then a fate like Portugal awaits us.
