The asian Morrisey-esque fop on the right makes it for me - how student is that?!

Six months is a long time. Try living in the real world, instead of a shell.

 

[frogwoman]

My point is, doing shit like that is as fucking stupid as anyone else who has thrown an untargeted bomb into a crowd, no matter what your beliefs are.

gotta agree about the fire extinguisher tbh.

 

[Treacle Toes]

gotta agree about the fire extinguisher tbh.

As most people do!

 

[Pickman's model]

As much people do!

on the beer?

they were throwing it at the fire. they were trying to put it out. obviously.
at least that's what i'd say in court.

 

[Pickman's model]

We still don't know what the injuries were that might have been caused by that. Or the class history of the person or persons who may have been injured as a result. What if it hit fellow workers engaged in class struggle?

yes. and my point is that aiming better would prevent it going near the crowd and nearer to your desired target.

Yeah, cus if it had hit a middle class person (say a student maybe) it would have been fine. Just out of interest, what was the 'class history' of the gimp that threw the thing?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Was db down below?

No. See edit!

You're a script writer for Brass Eye and I claim my five pounds.

i think he may not be being entirely serious.

Ahhh, I see now. Apologies for that serious malfunction in my sense of humour circuitry. End of a long day and all that

I bet he's an art student.

Congratulations Young Man you are the coolest person in the whole UK.

'The revolution is our dance floor'.

 

[Pickman's model]

Congratulations Young Man you are the coolest person in the whole UK.

If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution

 

[Idris2002]

If I can't dance, I don't want to be in your revolution

Almost makes one want to be young again, eh Pickman's?

 

[Gerry1time]

Well quite. Anyone who entirely defines fellow human beings solely by their assumed politics is a Grade A Cunt. We may vehemently disagree about politics, and that's very healthy for a good democracy.

Wanting someone dead as a result of their beliefs though is as dark as you like, be it from a right wing, centrist or left wing perspective.

If the only way you can win your argument is by wanting people dead, chances are you haven't got a very good argument.

They were physics students giving a practical demonstration of the equivalence principle. The police below happened to be in the way of science.

so churchill was wrong then about wanting dead germans.

i recently saw an advertisement from a 1917 copy of the hackney gazette advertising a film showing of battlefield action from the battle of ancre, the last bit of the battle of the somme. the ad said the projector operator would be a mained soldier who was one of many trained to operate a projector to give them gainful employment. the footage contained scenes of tanks moving forwards and killing jerry. i don't suppose there would have been many people in the audience who'd have taken kindly to your argument. if it won't stand up when put to the test - against hitler or kaisar wilhelm, for example - it's not a particularly good argument.

and look at thatcher, for a more recent example. there's lots of people here and elsewhere in this country who were sorely disappointed when she didn't pop her clogs in brighton. the showing from threads about her impending death indicates to me that you're not exactly in a majority here.

The thing about Winnie is that he actuall was a C*%t, albeit the right one in the right place come 1940.

Innit lol

He'd have had those stoodents gassed!

That'll be why war is evil, then.

 

[claphamboy]

So when the fire extinguisher's thrown, it sounds like the student masses are right behind the violent class struggle then...

The cunt that thought throwing that off the roof needs a fucking good kicking IMO.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The Daily Wail will probably report that it was a disgruntled FBU member.

Am I the only one who can't help but think highschoolmuscialkidsfromfame?

Innit.

could have mentioned orwell. what about franco, was someone like stuart christie wrong for wanting him dead?

 

[Idris2002]

Well, in his autobiography Christie specifically says that he's glad he never got to carry out his planned bombing campaign in Franco's Spain, precisely because it could have hurt or killed innocent people.

1 - 0 to me, there, I reckon.

more of a score draw - you're not suggesting he was wrong to want to see a dead generalissimo, or that he didn't want to see him dead.
