Who's going along to the G20 protests?

[pk]

Best place for it.

Hmmm, I disagree... they're mostly Christians in name only, helps elicit coffers from the church pews and gets them into Africa easier.

Few of the actual ground workers are practicing Xtians, and there aren't the conditional funding principles that political organisations have...

i.e. they'll feed and clothe muslims or christians regardless

They've achieved more third world poverty relief than all the anarcho parties worldwide combined. You don't need to bash the bible to see that.

Personally I would rather give my spare coffers to Water Aid, but Christian Aid have a damn good network of hard working non political people who get the job done. Notable recent successes include a massive operation in the tsunami struck areas, they were on the ground and saved thousands of lives, bypassing a lot of the red tape.

"Stopping climate change is sexy"? And I'm the one being pathetic?

Satire and comedy usually involve wit and insight of some kind, rather than juvenile cliche.

 

[In Bloom]

all I've seen here from you is pathetic sneering and attempts to belittle anyone who doesn't do things your way

Well then I suggest you learn to read.

Or at least use the search function on your own BB.

Were you always a middle aged miserable cunt?

 

[derf]

what demands do you not agree with?

The ones I mentioned disagreeing with in my post.
Jobs are not a right for a start.
An end to poverty would be nice but it's jut not going to happen regardless of how much you scream about it.
Even if you pumped cash into the poor in countries like this one how the fuck do you do the same in Zimbabwe and north Korea with head case governments?
You can't get rid of inequality because people are not, and never will be, equal.
Try removing inequality in the UK. If you ever manage that one do it on a global scale.
While you are marching be careful not to step on the feet of any unequal homeless people that may have their legs sticking out of doorways.

Some nice ideas but fuck all to do with the real world.

could also be a viewed as a commentary on this governments penchant for only dealing with issues it views as sexy, 'sexing up' documents etc.

Come on now - don't be coy!

Tell us what actions you've been involved with in, say, the last month, so we can all learn the 'grown up' way to get your point across and promote your cause.

tbf, IB is involved in some decent political stuff. It's just his sneering miserablism that annoys me.

always respected the AF / Solidarity , but he's doing them / it no favours imo - online it's easy to paint yourself into daft looking corners where you don't actually belong...

glad to hear someone from such authority on the matter speak. So, please do tell us, what kind of "amusing" placards people are "allowed" to carry, under your new law?

your point about people never being equal is the keystone to all your other point.

It is an ideological ball and chain that will disrupt any possibility of you comprehending the possibility of an elimination of inequality/poverty.

oh, don't get mad. you may have a heart attack you bitter old sod.

I'm not here to spoon feed you, if you actually involved yourself in political discussions on here when it's not some fashionable demo you can post up pictures of, you'd know already.

Wriggle, wriggle, wriggle.

You're the one criticising and damming people (sorry, "fuckwits" and "juveniles") for not articulating their cause in a manner that is acceptable to you, so why are you so reluctant to show us they way you do things for comparison?

If you're so interested, I'd suggest you peruse my posts in this forum or look at threads I've started in announcements. Fuck, if you're feeling especially adventurous, you could actually read the thread and see the post where I linked to some of this already.

This thread isn't about me, or any campaigns, events or actions I've organised or been involved in, if you want to discuss any of that, I suggest you heed your own rules and start a new thread about it, instead of derailing this one in a pathetic attempt to avoid responding properly to discussion around the topic of the thread.

I'd love to see your report and photos from the Manchester demo on the 21st March. Where are they?

Start a new thread if you want to discuss it, because I'm not going to respond to any more of your off-topic shite.

However, since I'm feeling generous:

Did you go? Just a link would do. I want to see what grown up banners and adult protest look like.

 

[PAD1OH]

remember the days when protests/campaigns were kind of elitist and full of smarmy wankers and lots of people either wouldn't join because of the smarmy wankers or people left campaigns due to getting sick to the teeth of having to put up with smarmy wankers?

remember those days?

 

[derf]

So what ideas have you got?

Number one on the list would have to be dumping a load of excess new weapons orders that will never be used and using the cash to help poorer people to live their own lives.
Things like micro loans, free education in poor countries and projects to build water supplies would come high on the list.
That could be done and save the country in question a fortune while they were at it. Not to mention the great PR they would get for no noticable loss in military capability.

I would like to see all military spending cut but that's not realistic so no point in putting forward the idea. Ask the survivors of WW2 why if you are unsure of my reasons.

As for the rest funding projects to ensure renewable energy would be a top idea for everyone except the oil producers.
You should see the new generation of electric motorbikes out here. That coupled with hydo-electric and geothermal projects gives almost pollution free transport.
Once battery technology develops a little more these things will get faster, and more importantly, easy and quick to recharge.
That would cost sod all for rich nations who would make a fortune from the technology and reduce their dependency on fuel reserves they have very little control over.

Anything there you don't like or feel is not achievable Ed?

i hope you guys will take it easy on our new prez....no pies in the face or any of that shit

 

[_float_]

Yes, Float is spot on, I agree with some things and disagree with others.

In a very hypocritical and inconsistent fashion.

You are constantly slagging off other people's demos for being pointless, yet supporting other extremely similar demos. Maybe you have a better explanation than petty sectarianism for how you pick and choose?
