There certainly will be a revolutionary air on the streets, but I hope the people are not too hungry, for people that are too hungry act irrationally and without the composed thought that can bring about real change. They will take out all their grievances on the governments and forget that they are manipulated just as much by the media – why is it that the media often slip silently through the net of deceit? For these lying bastard journalists, only looking to sell the next issue, seem to have far too much power and with just a click of a button they can dictate how our world is perceived and how the masses judge and react – Angry and hungry, the demonstrators today could be easily tempted to consume anything; they will forget about what there appetite was actually yearning and they could very easily disgrace themselves and what they are trying to represent ‘the people’
Unfortunately, Jayfor, I don’t trust the people of the UK one bit. I believe they are over-indulged, ungrateful and lack the real sense of purpose to be able to cultivate change – after all, it is the people that choose the government (though there is limited of choice) and ‘we’ do live in a liberal world where we have no dictator who controls us and where we can generally live with wild abandon to do as we please; ‘we’ are free in most walks of life – more so than a lot of other countries out there, where a person’s right to freedom only comes with death…
If we want change then we must install power back to people – not only through protesting, but through political change… if we’re unhappy with those in power then we should make more of a collective effort to elect more worthy MPs, or oust out the arrogant parties –
But, toppling the government in some form of wild revolution – at present - cannot happen here because the shackles on the people of the UK are not omnipresent – yes, we have an over-arching government that has the power to make policies we don’t always agree with, but these same powers allow us to live in general freedom - until something happens to destroy the civilisation of our daily lives and routines, we’d be better off fighting for freedom for the Burmese, or joining arms to spurn the evils of terrorism…
I hope that something comes out of today - that the governments take off their stupid caps for a moment and make a concerted effort to mop up the mess that has stained the economy - they must punish those that have taken greed to the extremes, blatantly ignoring the consequences of their actions…
Anyway, I guess I sound a little hypocritical because I don’t exactly see myself on the streets with my placard – but, if I were unemployed I’d be out there like a shot… and this is what’s so worrying for those in power right now. Because they do have over 3million people unemployed and bored, and if Che and Castro started a revolution with 20 men, hopefully 3million might just be enough to wean out the corrupt MPs and knock down those greedy, money-hungry banker wan*kers… and then, down with terrorism?!
