thetrees Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 My preference is revolution. Who is going to offer that? Nobody with any sense. We have problems but problems which can be sorted democratically. I'd rather people organise a movement which promotes change rather than voting for any numpty with publicity just for the sake of a protest vote. Such votes are people's democratic right, but they aren't even a drop in the ocean. The powers that be couldn't give a toss about Bez. Organise a movement which promotes change... What did you think I meant by revolution? Blood on the streets? So, rather than 'revolution', you want to 'revolutionise' the political system? Amen to that.

snowychap Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Time on your hands much? Do you really think that's a response likely to promote engagement? Don't worry about responding if you intend to continue at that level. Edited March 24, 2014 by snowychap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 I suspect from that photo he still hasn't had a pint of beer, a pint of what appears to be a milk based shandy maybe, but not beer nipples 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 There is one thing that Bez said in that interview that stood out to me. It was something along the lines of, 'lets not be fooled here, lobbying is legalised bribery'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes it even worse, he's doing that to a pint of Banks's. He knows about as much about beer as he does economics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Risso Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Do you get the feeling he's never actually drunk a pint of beer before? What? The primly pursed lips and the little finger doing its best not to be cocked like Hyacinth Bouquet at a sherry reception for the WI isn't the way a bloke should quaff his ale?

It's more the way he doesn't know to let it settle, not drink it while its foaming around like a priest in a jacuzzi with a choirboy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bez will be standing for Parliament in Salford.http://youtu.be/hvzAlRhjVcc Shake your maracas against fracking! Ha ha. Good on him. This is a monumentally shit idea. you seem to have placed you comment on the wrong post, surely you meant to put it on anyone in this thread containing a ConDem government policy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mockingbird_franklin Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Royal Mail to cut 1,600 jobs No shock on job cuts, predicted by many on privatisation, Mild shock however that it's management not front line workers bearing the brunt of the cuts, maybe that's just for now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The revolution in democracy is already happening, unfortunately it's all about handing more power and influence over to private corporations and away from the people Particularly in the USA and this country. 'Democracy' has become a total facade. Same shit, different colour, and nothing of substance changes. I'm not sure how that can be broken from within the current system. Hence Gringo's BIAD approach.
