Rant Torpedoes AWAY!
Oh great - here come the "human rights" brigade again. This time, the "rights" being infringed are the "rights" of "travellers" to choose which laws they obey, and which they do not. However, I got really riled by all this "back and forth" in the courts about whether the Dale Farm evictions were legal or not when some arse-particle decided it was all "ethnic cleansing".
You have got to be fucking kidding.
And the police are yet again being accused of being "heavy-handed"- and what about the "protestors", and their heavy-handed techniques, throwing bricks at police officers? The police are using tasers? Good. About bloody time too.
Latest: The Travellers won't accept alternative accommodation because it's not "culturally appropriate". What IS "culturally appropriate" then? A site with a fucking CASINO on it? A five-star hotel???
"Bet you wouldn't talk this way if it was YOUR protests in support of YOUR cause that were being so brutally suppressed", whine the protestors. My response:-
Point One: If any protest I was involved in dissolved into violence against the police as an act of "anarchy", I'd be gone. Outta there. It would cease to be "my cause".
Point Two: Dale Farm isn't "your cause". You're just there to take a shot at the police, and maybe get some hard-working police officer fired or jailed, whilst you rake in the compensation - and the hits on YouTube...
Point Three: Shouldn't you be at college? If you're skiving off, your tutors should have the right to kick you off the course, and allow someone who's willing to do the work to take a shot at getting the qualifications they need - they deserve.
Shouldn't you be out looking for a job? If you're on Jobseekers Allowance, the Jobcentre would be within their rights (there's that word again - not so cool when someone else uses it, right?) to take your beer and fags dole money off you. It's about time The Fucking System made good on their threats.
(Been a long time since I last used that term...)
Here endeth the rant.
P.S. Took the day off. Ongoing work heating malfunctions.
