After years of increased public access to lobby MPs and watch Westminster and Whitehall at work – now armed police guard the House of Commons, in a country where we once proudly said we did not need to have them there.
Not because of Usama Bin Laden or the Real IRA – but born and bred white middle class males, fighting for the “right” to kill animals in a sadistic and cruel manner (using other animals from the same species group who are themselves killed aftr they “cease to be of use”).
When our political system, flawed as it is, produced (by democratic vote) a result they didn’t want, they took to the streets to protest.
When the Police moved in to regulate the flow of protesters, they were pelted, and firearms and explosives discharged in their direction. The shotgun cartridges may be blank, and the explosives mere display fireworks – but this is nevertheless a symbolic act of war – something no other activist group (other than those who are part of or linked to terrorist organisations) have brought to the streets of London in the last 20 years.
And it is surely very unpatriotic to put extra stress on your countrys emergency services at a time of war – a war these self-same self-centred individuals no doubt support in their misguided desires to see “the return of the proud British empire”?
They also used inside knowledge provided by their privileged class to infiltrate the very seat of British government in disguise, and attempt to disrupt proceedings after a democratic vote had not gone in their favour. Luckily for all involved the trouble was verbal eather than physical; but now instead of men in tights guarding our politicians it is men in guns.
So much for “British traditions of civilised argument, restraint (and a modicum of cross-dressing). Jokes aside, London is now an even more paranoid and angry place (particularly for any other activists who want to exercise their right to protest) and nothing whatsoever has been solved by the protests. essentially they have led to everyones freedom being limited further.
Elsewhere, worse stuff happens – an electricity pylon carrying 132,000 volts is partly sawn through by a “pro hunting” group (the pro-hunt lobby did threaten to do so earlier in the year). Luckily these pylons are made of strong stuff – but had they succeeded they would have not only put themselves in mortal danger but disrupted the lives of thousands, and increased their utility bills.
I think we’ve now found out who some of the terrorists and traitors really are..
