Another Western Road protest this Saturday 18th Dec

[Dick Knights Mumm]

If some nutter walks into Tottenham Court road with a nuclear device and sets it off, how exactly is our "deterrant " going to stop a suicide bomber...

I don't think they'd try that knowing we have a submarine in the Atlantic.

When they are not in dry-dock or crashing into things.

 

[Chicken Run]

looks after us from what exactly...the Chinese? the North koreans? the Iranians? the French?

If some nutter walks into Tottenham Court road witha nuclear divice and sets it ioff, how exactly is our "deterrant " going to stop a suicide bombre...that is the threat now...not conventional army some dressed in red and some in white

So you think War has been resigned to the History Books?

Agreed, good job we have 4 SSBN's with two on Patrol at any time.

Yep. We can sleep in our beds tonight.

No I think war has changed and a technology that was designed in the 1940's and with the best will in the world will never be used and is costing us billions when people are being asked to cut back and rioting in the streets should be looked at.

But as Aelred said, we can all sleep safely in our beds knowing some sub is off Australia full of warheads pointing at Moscow

 

[Chicken Run]

Yep. We can sleep soundly in our beds tonight.

Edited the above for you, sounds better I think?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Yes - if you like. The presence of the submarines will make no difference to it though. If I were to worry it would be about home-grown terrorists. And I am not sure they worry about the submarines.

The LEAST the government should do is SACK Hartnett. Failure to do so is to endorse the apparent corruption that is the only explanation being put forward for how Vodafone have got away with not paying billions of pounds. Vodafone had even been budgeting to pay up eventually. Now the old pals act has let them off.

Or are you trying to argue that collecting taxes is nothing to do with the government?

You are talking nonsense and this kind of petty political points scoring really is below you. HMRC have said that the Vodafone agreement was as expected, there has been no admittance of any wrongdoing, so there would be absolutely no grounds to discipline anyone at HMRC in any way. The absolute most that the government could do would be to instigate a investigation into the deal-making at HMRC, and such a public show of lack of faith in HMRC would be much more damaging.

Yup, they'll stop someone from smuggling in all the parts for a nuclear warhead. Warms your heart to know that if the 1970s come round again we'll be ready for 'em. Not really having a go, apart from Fighter Command in the 1940s we've always been prepared for the war just gone as opposed to planning for any future one. For a nation like Britain long-range nuclear weapons belong in the past along side the cavalry charge and the longbow.

Far better to keep anything potentially embarrassing under wraps. Joe Public wouldn't be able to deal with that.

Some grandfathers grandson is going to get it then.

I take that very, very personally, put yourself up and perhaps we can do this on a personal level. Firstly, how old are you, do you have children, grandchildren ?? highly unlikely but stuck in your parents loft with your PC. In fact I'm sure you've sought your publicity with DKM on the back of your shirt at Withdean, so I know who you are....Wait for the tap on your shoulder my friend. It will I assure come from me. Can I wish you a very good evening. Check other posts to see where I'm coming from....you my friend are a DOG !!!

Bouncing this, purely for it to serve its original purpose, and warn those that don't want to go near a protest that Western Road/Churchill Sq/Clock Tower will likely contain a few shouty people (and accompanying police) from roughly 11.30am-3pm tomorrow (Sat 18th Dec), although it now seems like the weather is gonna 'cause more chaos than even the feistiest of demos...

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

It's not hypocritical though is it, it just suggests that the paper has editorial independence from the owners. Which is a good thing.

EH !

 

[pottert]

i hope that the money that it cost to police these protests is added to the tution fees

Now Mr FatAddict, after your rant from your previous time-scales that we should have known. As the leader of this thread and giving it your high and mighty you quite clearly stated

The Brighton one is due to start at noon at the Clock Tower as before, and the targets will most likely be the usual ones;

Now taking that on board I with gritted teeth had chosen to finalise my Xmas shopping before 12.00 noon as advised by yourself previously as that is the time WE should know you are going to protest. I will be with my son and my daughter. But now your post says it now starts at approx 11.30. Tell you what pal anyone comes near my kids, their fair game and they will get it. Can You post the url detailing the change of time on this board please. apparently its all over the interweb you say ? You my friend have just fuc;;d up your whole argument in one post. I would personally invite that any of these soap dodgers like yourself lardo, introduce yourself to me tomorrow if you can get away from your keyboard. Trust me there will be a fight-back tomorrow, I know one or two (??) who will be there. You'll need the police

 

[Jimbo.GRFC]

I'm out shopping with mates Saturday and if we get any trouble from them or seem them smasing stuff up we're going to twat them. Fecked of with these little students. It's time they got a good hiding.

It was not intended to be personal - just that you seemed to be welcoming student protesters getting some sort of come-uppance.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

And it was a stupid post. Apologies Jimbo.GRFC.
