My history ain't so good, didn't emily pankhurst chain herself to the railings outside parliament until women got the vote? Or did she emigrate? Or were you meaning another pankhurst? or am I way off base?

Definitely Emmeline, but she and the rest did rather more than just chaining to railings. Certainly involved protesting, maybe they should have all moved away.

Oh I see. You think women should not have the vote?

I was just following Caz's if people don't like how things are then why not leave the country thought.

Although you could argue that the country has been in decline since they did.

That site's manifesto is embarrasing, no wonder the Mail or Express have seized on it.

There is a great reason to protest, and you don't have to be anywhere near being 'anti-capitalist.'
Or a Nike wearing hoodlum, hiding in the pack to cause some agro. Late Capitalism is where we're at, but surely it can function, more democratically.

Just lifted of wiki...

At the end of the 20th century, wealth was and still is concentrated among the G8 and Western industrialized nations, along with several Asian nations. An EIA report stated that OPEC member nations were projected to earn a net amount of $1.251 trillion in 2008 from their oil exports, due to the record crude prices.

A study by the World Institute for Development Economics Research at United Nations University reports that the richest 1% of adults alone owned 40% of global assets in the year 2000, and that the richest 10% of adults accounted for 85% of the world total. The bottom half of the world adult population owned barely 1% of global wealth.

Right I'm off soak my chick-peas, and finish my banner I'v been dozzily making during my days of lesiure, at the pleasure of da tax payer

Just lock it and don't ask him to move it.

mind u zack, the "nike" irony was in reference to how nike is very prominent when it comes to an anit-capilatist movement in the sense that its a worldwide corporate - sweatshop institutions and whatnots so it was quite funny to see the kid with his flashy nikes throwin stuff at the shops lol

I think someone should calculate the costs that this protest causes (police + other expenses) - and how many children in Africa could be saved, if they would not protest

As if that money would go there if not spent policing it.

Weren't similar protests to this partly responsible for wiping out large chunks of third world debt?
