Ring-fenced Democracy

And then they were gone:

Given the excuse was that the protesters were prohibiting the wider public enjoying the Square, Guido doesn’t quite get the fence…

    The fence is to stop them getting back in as they’ve said they will return.

    I’ll bet it smells a lot nicer there now.

          I loved an article whish described how the anti-capitalist protesters in the camp went to use the toilet facilities at a nearby McDonald’s, as the straw toilet of the enviromentalists in the camp was too gross for them.

          The irony was totally lost on the protester though.

            I would have given them a grant to develop it, sustainably of course!

            It would be funded out of increased carbon taxes.

            Well . . . any taxes.

            I like taxes.

          That is so true.

          Hence their enthusiasm for ruining tracts of natural or unnatural (in their eyes) farmland and other rural landscapes with wind turbines or the pylons to bring the product of off-shore wind generation onshore.

          They then have the brass neck to accuse us of being NIMBYs! I know, let’s turn Hyde Park into a wind farm cut down all the trees and replace them with turbines with a 500 meter exclusion zone — then we’ll see who are the NIMBYs.

          • Mr Ned says:

            Good idea!!!

            Unfortunately windmills are only good for tax-payer subsidy.

            It takes more energy to manufacture the average windmill, than the windmill will generate in its lifetime, because most windmills are in use for less than 30% of the time.

            If windmills worked, then I would be very much in favour of them and would willingly accept the aesthetic blight and noise pollution that they cause.

            But, what is the problem, to which windmills are the answer? It isn’t How can we produce sustainable, affordable, green, energy? that’s for sure.

      I was listening to the radio during the night as the eviction was taking place. Why did the police wait for 1am? Was it so the police would not be seen by the tourists? Was it so there were not many video cameras around to record the eviction? Or was it because there’s nice cushy overtime payments for 1am?

      Now the tourists will look at Parliament Square and really will think it looks like a piece of cr@p. They can’t even photograph Churchill’s statue on the corner of the square.

        Nobody is stopping them from protesting. They are stopping them from living an extended time on that green and turning it into an open toilet. That green is not residential land.

        I am glad that these “protestors” have been moved on. They are more than welcome to return and march past Parliament, but there was no need to turn that pleasant green into a permanent hippy camp.

        Brian Haw’s protest reminds us of the crimes of the previous two Parliaments. We did not need this eyesore on top of that legitimate protest of Brian’s.

          Well said Mr Ned, my thoughts exactly. The camp was a horrible eyesore in the cradle of democracy (not that we have same, but you know what I mean). And why carry on the protest when the current Govt has expressed its desire to pull out of the war?

          The Square is public land and should never have been annexed by a tiny minority for their own purposes, whatever the merits of their protest

          The detail about the anti-capitalist protesters using the facilities at Macdonalds is a hoot – irony and socialism are of course incompatible

          • Straw Men says:

            lots of Daily Mail clucking and obfuscation on here today by pretending those willing to demonstrate against an illegal war (as opposed to the great sacrifice of blogging) were all dirty hippies or anti-capitalists

            they weren’t, so try again

            the anti-war protestors were however, 100% right about Iraq and Afghanistan and they were right long before all the Johnny come lately’s jumped on the bandwagon

            it’s a shame the Daily Mail types only seem happy if they protested in pinstripes and a tie in a lovely garden designed by some twat on a TV show, but they cannot help their small minded outlook any more than their blinkered definition of when it is right to protest or when it is not

            if the State tells you when and where and how to protest and you accept it and even help them justify it, then you are worse than a sheep

          Mr Ned says:

          This camp had ceased to be a single legitimate protest, but had split into a cacophony of left wing, self-contradictory diatribes.

          Anti-capitalists and anti-globalisation protesters campaigning together with people who want to tackle climate change?

          Now if you cannot spot the massive irony in that you need help.

          OK Here’s the help. The catastrophic man-made climate change scam is ALL ABOUT creating a single global government to control our use of carbon (our production and use of energy) which effects every single aspect of all of our lives.

          It is globalisation on steroids and these environmentalists are totally in support of it. The global corporations LOVE the green movement as it is a control-freak fascist’s wettest of dreams. It is also a marketing dream too.

          So that is how it ceased to be a legitimate protest as it hijacked a legitimate anti-war peace protest and then was arguing against itself in a completely incoherent way whilst alienating the public and causing actual environmental harm as a public health hazard.

          It turned off almost ALL of the demographic whose support the peace movement needs most. The peace movement needs to engage with the military families and the people in this country (who happen to mostly be middle-upper class) who happen to have the most influence in this country. A filthy open sewer hippy camp was NEVER going to achieve that.

          That is why I am glad that this filthy hippy camp has gone and that has NOTHING WHATEVER to do with restricting our ancient and lawful right to protest.

          I fully, 100% support our ancient and sovereign right to protest. This filthy hippy camp was harmful of this ancient right as it was bringing the ideal of protest into disrepute.

      they were protesting against a pointless unwinnable war that is costing the lives of british soldiers and indirectly flooding our streets with heroin – you think we’re afghan to bring ‘democracy’ or protect the heroin trade which the taliban 98% had eliminated before we decided to invade and remove them from power.

          Dont believe what the corporate media tells you :-

          JALALABAD, Afghanistan (February 15, 2001 8:19 p.m. EST)
          U.N. drug control officers said the Taliban religious militia has nearly wiped out opium production in Afghanistan — once the world’s largest producer — since banning poppy cultivation last summer.

          A 12-member team from the U.N. Drug Control Program spent two weeks searching most of the nation’s largest opium-producing areas and found so few poppies that they do not expect any opium to come out of Afghanistan this year.

          http://opioids.com/afghanistan/index.html

          Then within 6 years of the ‘liberation’ of the taliban:-

          Opium production in Afghanistan, which provides more than 90 percent of the world’s heroin, broke all records in 2006, reaching a historic high despite ongoing U.S.-sponsored eradication efforts, the Bush administration reported yesterday.

          http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn…120101654.html

          Also do some Googling on Al Qaeda and you’ll discover the Al Qaeda is CIA database of muhujadeen fighters. Essentialy the war was against the CIAs own former agents in the region.

          • Mr Ned says:

            and then they decided to use the destruction of narco billions to hold the CIA to ransom. The CIA balked at this and a carpet of bombs was promised. This was in early 2001.

            They were promised, by the CIA, a carpet of gold or a carpet of bombs, it was their choice. The Taliban was trying to cut America out of the narcotics and oil interest in the region. They were dealing with Argentinian oil interests for pipeline deals and shutting down the income from narcotics for the CIA.

            The CIA warned them early in 2001 what would happen. They were told that American troops would be in Kabul by the end of October 2001.

            Now the drugs are flowing out of Afghanistan at a record rate.

          • Sam says:

            The absolutely idiotic thing is that this drive to eradicate heroin caused a major shortage of poppies for making morphine, and opium poppies are now grown in endless fields in eg Oxfordshire, which are perfectly capable of growing food (or even biofuels).

            Nothing grows in Afghanistan except poppies. The land is infertile.
            There is a world shortage of morphine for medical use.

            Is the solution not obvious, and why have the Govts of the West not arranged to buy the entire crop, thereby killing three birds with one stone? Or is that too simple a solution? Do they not wish to destroy the Mafia, the Taliban and associated evils? Do they not wish to get the local people on our side?

            It does make one wonder what the underlying agenda is

        • 48
          Mr Ned says:

          The Taliban nearly wiped out heroin production by slaughtering hundreds of growers and setting fire to the poppy fields in 1999-2000-2001. This is established fact and widely referenced.

          The Western Coalition have witnessed an increase in the production of opium and heroin almost every year since the Taliban were thrown out of power in Kabul.

          Western troops have even protected the convoys of trucks carrying the manufactured product (on a massive industrial scale) out of Afghanistan.

          If you want to find the top of the international drug cartels, look to the intelligence services of the global political powers.

          These are the people who recruit the next level down (the infamous crime families) who receive protection. Any pretenders to these crime families who muscle in on the trade become the crime families that are subject to the international war on drugs.

          Sometimes a top level dealer will get too big for his boots. Then you see what happened to Manuel Noriega in Panama.

          This international trade in Narcotics is why there is a near civil war in Mexico and the American/Mexico border is not secured at all in Arizona. In fact a massive tract of land (hundreds of miles) in Arizona has been turned over to the Mexican drug cartels (the ones in favour by the CIA) to allow faster shipment of material and personnel to and from America.

          The American militia are mobilising to try to enforce the Federal government’s constitutional obligation of securing the border.

        Mr Ned says:

        I agree with you on Afghanistan. That war is about keeping Karzai’s Brother in power in Afghan and flooding Russia and the rest of the world with very cheap heroin. It is also about Caspian Oil and pipeline routes.

        However this protest camp was not necessary to highlight that failing war. In fact it hurt the argument against war. A few jobless hippies in a tent have parked on a green next to Parliament? Who gives a fuck? Move them on!

        Nobody is going to stop a very profitable war (for the criminals) because a few hippes go camping and shit out in the open.

        As for the protesters, they were protesting about any “pet” left wing bollocks that they were into at the time.

        There were camps against capitalism (with tents made in china)

        Camps against climate change, (filled with people who did not walk to London)

        Camps against banking (with people who probably have their benefits paid into their current account)

        Camps against war.

        Camps against the coalition being in power.

        It was an excuse for a load of left wing dope smoking hippies to live for free in central London and smoke drugs under the noses of the police.

        As a protest it was utterly and completely worthless and a failure.

            Nope, I do not believe that support for either of these wars has increased. And you are still misunderstanding me.

            I could not give a shit which government cleared this camp. I am opposed to the war in Afghanistan and this “protest camp” was acting against the interest of people who are opposed to the war. It was turning off people who need to be engaged.

            A hippy camp is NOT going to end a war overseas.

            As I also said, I was opposed to the banning of ALL protest. This coalition government have NOT banned all protest, but in fact made legitimate protest more easily and legally achievable.

            These “protesters” are free to return and march past Parliament any time they like. Scrapping this dirty, unhygienic eyesore is NOT in any way preventing legitimate protest.

            This camp had ceased to be a legitimate protest, but became a self destructive eye-sore and served no useful purpose, other than a free nights camping in central London with drugs thrown in.

          • Straw Men says:

            your opinions on what is the best way to protest are irrelevant
            as are your own stereotypes of those in the camp
            any protest helps catalyse support
            if it isn’t in your favoured idea of a demographic that’s just hard luck
            if the the millions who marched had took your advice public dissent would remain forever concealed unless they met your strict criteria of who can and can’t be allowed to protest on the basis of stereotypes

            you help the Government by helping justify any crackdown on a protest which they find objectionable for whatever reason
            they will use some of the same excuses you have used to justify expanding the crackdown on protesting just like Labour did

          Have a poster campaign with the legend “War in Afghanistan? Because we don’t have enough junkies overdosing in Britain”

          Filling that square in Parliament with a hippy camp will not engage the public to the cause, in fact it will turn most of them off it!

          You need to engage the public. the 30% of the public who have clout and can make a difference. A hippy camp will never persuade military families that this cause is lost or unworthy.

          Showing them that their loved ones are being sacrificed overseas to allow a corrupt regime make billions of dollars out of teenagers here killing themselves, MIGHT shame them enough to stop supporting this senseless war.

          To do that you need to look like these families, dress like them, engage constructively WITH them and establish a rapport WITH them and then engage them in this message, otherwise the message will be instinctively dismissed totally out-of hand!

          A peace camp full of drug smoking hippies is the LAST thing that will work!

          You Couldn't Make It Up says:

          It was a repeat of the Greenham Common Wimmin’s camp outside Newbury in the 80s. I know some of those who set it up – they are still convinced that their eyesore of a camp (which was loathed by the locals) helped end the Cold War

          If you point out that Regan’s US Republican Govt’s adoption of the Star Wars agenda, with the enthusiastic support of Thatcher, ended the Cold War AND the Soviet tyranny by making it economically impossible for the Soviets to compete, they glaze over and start gibbering

            The proof that the Greenham Common “wimmin” did NOT win is demonstrated by the fact that these “wimmin” wanted Britain to eradicate ALL of our nukes and become a nuclear free country. Britain retains its nuclear deterrent to this very day and this has the support of most of the house of commons. Therefore those wimmin did not win.

        The soldiers don’t think the war is unwinnable.

        They just want the MoD to give them the kit.

          the soldiers you see on newsnight and tv on a dialy basis are hand picked to tout the ‘we are making progress line’ to try and maintian what little support the public have for the war.

          alot of soldiers say say privately the war is unwinnable and lives are being wasted for nothing.

          Mr Ned says:

          The soldiers are programmed to follow orders without question, even to the extent of freely giving their own lives.

          They are NOT EVER going to allow themselves to think that this is for an unwinnable cause.

          Any troops that do start believing that tend to commit suicide.

      No. If you want to sing crap songs in awe of the invisible sky fairy, just pop over the road to Westminster Abbey, where sky-fairy worship takes place daily.

      I’m not sure if the sky fairy’s green, but he is magic. And invisible.

          Mr Ned says:

          Yeah, but you can design really cool anti-capitalist logos and posters on an iPad and then instantly share them on facebook (another capitalist multi-billion dollar company) and tweet (another multi million dollar company) an update and hope it trends…

          The fact that this “free” information is spread on infrastructure built by multi-national corporations and only exists because of capitalism is lost on the socialists entirely.

          I think that these protesters need to learn the difference between free-market capitalism and corporatism (AKA fascism or corporate welfare)

          I am the first to protest against the likes of Halliburton getting cost-plus no-bid contracts paid for by the tax-payer. Cost plus meaning that the company is guaranteed to be paid what their operations cost, PLUS a precentage for profit.

          This meant that in Iraq they had massive open fire-pits running 24/7. If a truck burst a tyre, they would push the entire truck into the fire and claim for a new truck, because the profit under cost-plus means that the company can charge the tax-payer more money. A 10% increase on the cost of a tyre is nothing compared to the 10% profit on the cost of a truck!

          I am also against bailing out banks with billions of pounds of our money just so that they can lend OUR money back to us at interest. This is corporatism and it is anti-competitive and it is wrong!

          But genuine, free and open private sector competitive capitalism is A O K by me.

    this is only the beginning of the annexing of Britain by the government for their rich friends in the banks and business. All the promises of ‘we’re all in it together’ will sound hollow as Britain is fenced of with the best bits only for the rich and famous – we’ll all be living in the Isle of Man soon….

Mr Bryant and Mr Watson managing to make the whole hacking affair look like a farce – the more they moan the less I care about the whole subject! So partisan it beggars belief at all costs. They cannot rise above it ! If I was to call the PM a ‘liar’ I would want to be VERY sure.
