Anyone going to the Downing Street Protests?

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Thinking about it.

Will the protesters be stopping off at all the embassies of countries where the leaders have actually avoided paying any tax or done something illegal .. you know real corruption?

You are literally defending Etonian millionaires not paying tax?

What do they have to do to make you not support them? Trump said his supporters were so thick that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and he'd still be backed.

Good luck to all those going tomorrow, more for the young 'uns - my energy will be more spent on preparing what's going to come after we get rid of the corrupt shower

Why are you protesting? It's a serious question. I am genuinely interested.

Iceland protested and shown us things are possible. I know it's harder here but we want the system changed, it's not fair how the 0.3% get richer when the rest of us are left behind

We want Cameron to do his job, if he can't do that than resign and let someone else do it

Like to see you try create an event

Keep your hair on. Not against what you're trying to do but just saying that 5000 isn't a lot for such a big issue. That said, it might snowball.

Well the event promoter created it yesterday, I was like the third to commit to it or something stupid like that. I was working so hard to get the message out there on social media. There's a protest in Paris that has 6k protesters, next week the peoples assembly I'm London has 3k currently signed up. I think 5k is incredible
Don't forget Iceland had 10% of its electorate aswell

A few people I know relentlessly share anti-government propaganda on Facebook. It really is a sight to behold.

I fully expect them not to take part in this protest because it involves actually doing something.

There is a word that has evolved to describe this behaviour: Slacktivism.

Hypocrisy yes criticize away. Can you clarify what tax he should have payed? https://www.facebook.com/rob1972/videos/10154110453578000/

By the way you are the one supporting the extremist loon so a bit rich calling other people thick.

Thanks for the info. I don't agree with your politics of envy, so I will sit this one out.

Why is it not fair that everyone is not on the same income. If you want a completely level structure I would suggest you move to North Korea which seems to be the last fully communist country, and you can undertake whatever job you are given and be paid the same money as everyone else.

So you basically want to take away any motivation for people to get on in life, as its not fair that they may get higher wages than you do. Effectively we may all just as well down tools and do nothing as the benefits handed out in your utopia must be the same as the 0.3% otherwise its not fair.

And what part of his job is Cameron not doing.

Also feeling pretty depressed, I was trying to help the girl yesterday get it kicked off the ground and sharing it and thinking of ways to make it go viral. Eventually it was Edward Snowden who tweeted about it. I just feel like I've gone back to being ignored but I still wanted to go if it got me out...

Surely Edward Snowden tweeting about it and raising awareness of it should be seen as a good thing by those (including you) supporting the protests? Why would you be depressed about someone using their platform to help the cause you're supporting?

if it is shown that Cameron has been squirreling away a couple of million of assets in a bank, while negotiating how those same banks are dealt with amid complete collaspe of the economy, im sure there will be a substantal protest here too.

I can't cope with arguing. Thought Brighton was an accepting city that claimed independence from the establishment with the Greens. I've been bullied my entire life from school in to adulthood by right wing careerists. I've tried bloody hard to make something and get on for myself and all the time people are knocked down for who they are. I came out about my problems with Aspergers a few months ago on here and I can't believe I am being pushed up against a wall by people who are gay, who once used to be the oppressed and are becoming all to comfortable with being the oppressor.

I was attacked by UKIPPERS from followers of raheem kassam recently just for standing up for what I believe in.
Yesterday when I do do something to help someone I am quickly forgotten about. Yo constantly being attacked that I should move to North Korea or Russia, blah blah is so offensive. Democratic socialism is not communism. I just care deeply that people around me have the same opportunities as everyone else

You have lost me. I suppose it can be unnerving being pushed up against a wall by people who are gay, not so nice if they are straight either.
