Wasn't it nice to see the protesters in London today marching in an orderly fashion?

[Linus Upp]

As CEO of CROQ (Crusade for a Return to Orderly Queuing) it is very rewarding to observe our advice to citizens has been noted. Only thirty-seven arrests, six civilians and one police officer injured from an orderly protest march consisting of some ten thousand angry public servants.
What mayhem would have ensued should the protesters, as in the past, have broken ranks and invaded Fortnum and Mason and attacked the Ritz Hotel.
No, orderly queuing is Great Brtiain's legacy to the World and its immediate return at bus stops should now follow today's example.

is it protest or cry over lost empire
imperial Britishers lost the art of working in hey days and now they are not able to regain it
work rather than protest , otherwise Govt may have to hand over more industries to TATA

[mattyboy12]

what are you Brits protesting now?

[well...]

I seemed to miss out on this, but mobs can never be truly ordered in nature. However, the way you described those people have done a nice job in controlling it, but still had some flaws. Nonetheless it is a nice form of protest that kept the casualties at a minimum.

[You can call me Al]

Great isn't it.

No beheadings, burning of churches, burning of flags...

And yet you mock....

It is called civilised behaviour.....and of course the people protesting today were workers......not the usual rent a mob of disaffected shirkers....

Yes, a nice orderly march of public workers who refuse to recognise that they are going to have to adjust and adapt to the new environment in which we all find ourselves.We have been living away beyond our means for decades and certainly long before the banking crisis. Pay back time has arrived and the public workers will have to immigrate from cloud cuckoo land into the big nasty real world. It is an absolute certainty that they will turn violent as spoilt brats do when they realise they can't always get what they want. Don't be banking on too many more peaceful marches. Have a look at what's happening in Athens where the layabout Greek public workers are wrecking and causing mass destruction. Make no mistake Mr, Naive,it'll happen here also.""ADDITION"">> To greater or lesser extent all public sector jobs are parasitic on the private sector from where the wealth of any nation is derived. Britain has been de-industrialised and most of it's powder puff citizens have long since lost the ability to do an honest day's work thanks to the nanny state. The upshot of that is you are now in the manufacturing 3rd division and with North Sea Oil almost depleted there you are bankrupt, broke,washed up,down the plug hole,penniless,ruined, insolvent. Which part of that do the nice civilised marchers not understand???????????
