| 1. I don't really get that picture. there's a |
|
guy standing outside macdonalds on the march with a flag in his hand. It doesn't show he's been in macdonalds and it doesn't say what his political views are, or what's on the flag. Is the point your making, if you protest against something you can't eat at fast food franchises?
He's probably a trade unionist as they made up most of the march on saturday and as far as i'm aware are not anarchists or anti-capitalists, they defend workers rights within a capitalist system.
I wouldn't have expected to see a cliched criticism from the reactionary right wing that is trotted out at every protest here on DU, but oh well.

| 4. I know, it's nothing really, I just found it amusing to |
|
think of protesters tucking into their Big Macs before lobbing a brick or two though the window on the way out.
But then, I'm strange like that.

| 7. But protestors don't lob bricks through windows, |
|
idiots do.
Protestors protest about things.
Democracy's like that, it isn't just crossing a box every 4 years so some self serving careerists can worm their way to the top with no values or ideas of their own. In fact i would suggest that democracy was moved forward in Britain in the 20th century more from outside parliament than from within.

| 10. There are one or two people here... |
|
who do trot out cliched criticisms from the reactionary right wing. There is a certain conservative British site, which always seems to have at least one member posting here too. Such is life.
