Cos the whole movement is bullshit. The website is absolute nonsense and there's not one clear thing they're demanding. It's just an excuse to throw toys out of the pram.
I don't believe they represent the 99% and it's a ridiculous statement to make.
Plus I wouldn't want to watch a segment about it, anyway. |

and you are entitled to your opinion,my point is more to do with why there is no coverage of the bullying tactics of the police for what is a peacefull protest or are we not to protest in this country now ? |

Peaceful Protest only became Illegal days ago because this government knew full well that protests would damage their so called reputation world wide. Their treatment of the less fortunate and disabled is nothing short of inhumane, Too many people in this country live in their own little bubble and are of the opinion that if it doesn't affect them then it doesn't matter!!! |

"Are you saying it's ok to break the law as long as it's done peacefully
Yes....depending on the law in question."
No umbrellas allowed.
No sitting on anything, even if the grass is wet.
No signs or banners.
No Democracy!

It has been illegal to protest within a mile of parliament square without a permit for years. (Which is piss easy to obtain). I have been involved in several protests and demos in that time without any problems from the police. The protesters know the law, what they can and can't do and deliberately flouted that in an attempt to make headlines.
There can be anything up to 10 separate protests in London at any one time. All as worthy of the next one and desperate for publicity and air time. All they do is cause disturbance for people going about their everyday business.
Anyone who believes it is ok to deliberately flout the law must accept the consequences of their actions. |

I'd love to live in a world wherethese weapons weren't needed.
However as Chrissie says, we do need them as a detterent in the hope they would never be used.
The nuclear submarines were on the base at Faslane from the mid 60s onwards.
Also if you are as close as you say. You will be well aware the the area around you would become economically desolate without the money coming from supplying and serving the camp. |

sorry got to disagree total waste of money in my eyes,and if you where to go to helensburgh you would find that the local economy does not make much from the base as 90% of the staff are from outwith the area and dont spend much in the town. |

Just because its law, it doesnt make it morally acceptable. You say its easy to get a permit....Thats only if the powers that be think it should be allowed. If they disagree, then there is no protest. No protest, nobody hears about the issue being raised. Its population control and it stinks. |

There are plenty of places to protest so why protest in a place where it is illegal to do so? I saw the footage on Live Leak and thought the Police were quite reasonable in upholding the law.
It would have been interesting to see what would have happened had the protest been held in some other countries. Looked like they all needed a bit of a shower and scrub anyway, so the Old bill did them a favour really |

Most protests comply with the law which means there is no need for the police to do anything.
On Saturday for example, there were three separate protests at the same time. One of which consisted of 80,000 people. All these complied with the law. |

Its illegal there, precisely because that is where it has its best impact. Just because other countries will use teargas and water cannons it doesn't mean kettling etc should be used here. It might be the lesser evil, but it doesn't make it right. |
