Its pissing down here too for the next few days, amazing to think of it raining down onto both sides of a spinning ball moving at 1000 odd km per hour.
I don't know why my backbone is being called into question. I've worked hard all my life to get everything that I have. I've worked from the humblest of origins and escaped my working class roots which all too many are condemned to slog away in due to the absence of social mobility. The Royal family are born into their positions and it is unjustified. They are the ones with no real world backbone. I have backbone in spades and as Andre points out, I am a giant. Maybe.
I don't have any self importance when it comes to an issue such as this. I just want what is fair for the country I was born and raised in. Sycophantic propaganda about something the ordinary man doesn't really give a hoot for is annoying. Noone in my family gives a hoot about the Royal family and reading the message boards neither do most of the people with an ability to string together words on a keyboard. Those celebrating were a minority. Few here would admit to celebrating the Jubilee. Going to the pub and getting drunk, sure. But giving a hoot about the Queen? Not a chance.
The machine is against us Republicans. Our voices are drowned out in the mainstream, but clearly the numbers are great.

If I was living in the UK I would be with the occupy movement and were I living there I would be politically active. As it is I am not. My activism has no way of reaching out beyond suggesting that others themselves do so.Quote:

People know the real deal and when they are being spoonfed nonsense. The Jubilee is just that.
Bit like your hero Cameron spoon-feeding us bull shit Miles, you never had it so bad.;DQuote:

My 'hero Cameron'? My politics is certainly not of the right or what any of the current parties have on offer.Quote:

Miles you are the worst kind of snob. You question the ability of anyone who does not share your views to be able to string a sentence together and use words like "Chav" to dismiss them. For someone who has supposedly come from a working class background you seem very eager to distance yourself from it. Working class people up and down the country are partying in the streets and hanging out miles of bunting and yet you and a minority of Republican fascists would deny them them this to make a stupid point. You are an elitist. Politicians do not represent the populace and are far more out of touch than the Royals. The occupy movement are another elitist institution with a poor grasp of how to effectively demonstrate and absolutely no backbone. If they had any they would have occupied the cities banks and financial district, instead of an easy target like a public church. They are so lame, the hundreds of CND women who chained themselves to military bases and Greenpeace activists who ram whaling ships ,the miners who fought running battles with police over their right to protest and strike, and the anti Nazi league who took it to the racists would shudder at the pathetic occupy lot.
People who support the Royal family are snobs. They support a system of inherited privilege and luxury. They support a head of state that is unelected. Those are the views of elitists and are clearly not ideals that I adhere to. I support the complete opposite.Quote:

Politicians do not represent the populace right now. Mainstream politics is divorced from reality. People do not buy into the system. They know Thatcher sold them out, they know Labour let in the immigrants, they know Cameron refuses to reform the banking sector. Not since the war has there been a party putting forward true change in the interests of the populace. I see an angry country (from afar) and I see a lot of disenfranchised people angry at the system and apathy regarding the Jubilee. I would love to know how many on here celebrated. I bet few really give a damn.
Occupy is struggling because they cannot even exercise their right to protest without police victimization. Britain is not a democratic country. People really cannot even protest peacefully without the police intimidating and arresting wantonly. The backbone is there, but the system is rigged against them. They went to the Bank of England and look what the police did. Mind you, I agree that the occupy movement needs to get stronger and I advocate greater militarism. But if you do, the system eats you up. You become a terrorist. The media spins it against you to represent their wealthy backers.
People know it's a scam. We all do. I'm not an elitist when it comes to politics. I am a snob when it comes to things like music, but when it comes to labour rights and a fair system I am far from a snob.
Miles people are having a shit time at the moment, it's got fuck all do who's at fault it's the Jubilee stop being a moaning git let people have there enjoyment.Quote:
