A protest against the evil austerity measures is underway outside my building...

So far, it's attracted the following:

1. A Bishop strumming a guitar
2. A couple of Nuns
3. Jar Jar Binks
4. Jesus
5. A guy in a wheelchair
6. ...and about 100 other ne'er do wells

They're singing uplifting songs to the bewildered tourists and office types. 😯

Now, I'm not sure Davo and his pals are going to listen to this excellent protest?

So, what can I bring to the party?

Will do. 😉

Jar Jar's presence confuses me. Obviously, there's austerity in Naboo, too. Or maybe he's just lost and a sucker for a sing-song.

perhaps you should ask them what they would cut if required?

On 17 May 2012 The Church of England welcomed an agreement with the Government over the future funding of alterations and repairs to its 12,500 listed buildings, providing an extra £30 million a year on top of the £12 million already granted by the Government to The Church of England in the Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme (LPWGS).

I almost feel sorry for them. Even the bus drivers are laughing at them... 🙁

Aren't we all (excepting Jar Jar and Jesus, naturally) in this together?

Reminds me of this, early glory days of anonymous...

Hours of chanting "I love horses, best of all the animals" and demanding that the police do barrel rolls. Most protests achieve nothing these days so you might as well have a laugh.

I have a French car. 😯

I'll direct my petrol bombs at Jar Jar. That's a proper public service right there - you'll all thank me later. 😉

UPDATE: well, so much for that!

20ish guys left now... Bishop's still there, now joined by a Cardinal smoking a fag.

No sign of Jar Jar or Jesus. 🙁

I like to think they crossed the road and went into Starbucks, which sounds like the beginning of a really good joke.

One of my Dad's proudest moments was bottling Enoch Powell when the guy was speaking at Exeter Uni. Apparently, loads of leftie students bottled Enoch, who was pretty put out.

Seems to me there was more effective protest in those days. Now, unless someone takes our broadband or access to fine coffee products, we don't really care enough... True?

Thing is, Enoch was right wasnt he?

He just told everyone what would happen - and it has.

Enoch wasnt a racist, he was just telling it like it is. But of course his critics all like to get wound up and indignant and pretend to be upset about perceived offence against someone else rather than deal with the real issues.

Why do I feel that off all the places that Nigel Farage would be happy to be barricaded in would be a pub, it would be like a group of feminists protesting against Oliver Reed forcing him to take sanctuary in an Off-License.

It'd work for me...

That statistic reflects nothing more than a lack of imagination amongst our Islamic brothers.
