antony1969 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Peter I know nothing of Ekklesia so cant really comment on the source . Your link says around 1000 protesters , as with all demonstrations the numbers are always on the high side so probably nearer 700/800 , hardly a resounding down with the monarchy shout is it ? . There were probably more people out supporting our council workers in there fight against redundancies . Am I right in thinking you are suggesting the BBC does not lean to the left because it plays the National Anthem at shut down ( does it shut down these days ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WA Michael Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 May I as a foreigner just say that, you or someone you know voted more than once for Margaret Thatcher and you got an extreme right wing government.She actually said that "Society as such does not exist", she encouraged the police, previously apolitical, to do as they damn well liked and they loved it. Now they are facing cuts and you are accepting street wardens. You or someone you know asked to be treated like dirt and bless, you got it. Too important to join Europe, too poor not to,still clinging to a Queen. Her relatives caused the Great War,some say not that great, and dada let the Kaiser retire safely to Holland. Either grow some, or stop moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and they lectured Arthur Scargill, who got in with 73% of the vote, on Democracy *-) ) Of course, we have never been allowed a vote on our Head of State.
