Wall of Sound to shut Blair up Thurs 3rd April

[frogwoman]

I'll be in the pub at 6pm, then will do vigil (or pints) then I need to skip off to have dinner with 2 other urbanites so I will make my excuses after 15 mins of screaming and leave at 7.15pm

i just texted u ...

 

[Kizmet]

It's not 'they' when it's us though is it?

'They' always think of themselves as 'us', don't they? Once you're part of a mob it's always 'us'.. unless you happen to be amongst the targets of it.


I'm not a part of your 'us'... to me everyside of the argument is 'they'.

Fucking mobs, man. Humanity at it's lowest ebb. In theory a whole bunch of people united by the 'right' cause... in reality a whole bunch of people with nothing better to do and whole bunch of personal issues to get out and a target they can take it out on.

In that respect it's far better that you go along and dent your le creuset saucepan than stay home and hit your spouse, I guess.

The irony of Butch calling me a posh twat when selfridges will be out of replacement kitchenware by tomorrow afternoon....

[Kizmet]

Couldn't you have said that in the txt?

 

[citydreams]

I've got loads better to do. But this is where I'd rather be. But yes, I have a personal issue with Tony Blair. You don't I take it?

Did you think about the end of that paragraph when you were writing the beginning of it?

But yes, I have a personal issue with Tony Blair. You don't I take it?

Of course I do.

But I'm not into pantomime booing and hissing.

And I fucking hate mobs.

 

[The Black Hand]

I am part of the mob and I love mobs me

 

[Kizmet]

Maybe that's because you have little idea of what it's like not to be?

 

[Badger Kitten]

So if you shuffle about with a placard you're ''a demo''.
If you keep still, have a vigil for peace, then peacefully protest by making a noise you are ''a mob''. I see. Bizarre distinction, but if it makes you feel better.

Perhaps we could classify them both as ''legitimate peaceful protest, usually seen as normal part of a fully functional democracy''?

But moaning on the internet is so much more valid.

 

[citydreams]

I've no idea.

And I fucking hate mobs.

it also seems you hate individuals that want to express their individuality. You've been quite insulting.. i think that shows more about you than of anyone going to tell Tony Blair what they think.

 

[citydreams]

I am part of the mob and I love mobs me

I'm demob happy

 

[Badger Kitten]

I've screamed at the TV in frustration when that wanker is on for years. I now have a chance to do so with other people, AND have a pint, and enjoy myself.

He is heavily implicated in one or two things which have directly impacted on my life in a big way. He has fucked up the lives of thousands of Iraqis suffering from bombs and terrorism. This is cathartic, democratic, healthy and I want to buy Frogwoman a pint and meet her, so all round.

I'm off to get the Victoria line and join the demo.

Bye

 

[Kizmet]

I've no idea.

It shows.

Laughably you think being part of a mob expresses your individuality.

You've been quite insulting.. i think that shows more about you than of anyone going to tell Tony Blair what they think.

This is essentially the problem with po-faced, NDO politics types... can't handle bit of mild piss-taking without getting all huffy about it. Learn to laugh at yourselves a little.

You seem to be under the illusion that what you're doing is essentially quite 'cool'.

But it's very clearly not. It's actually a bit silly. But have a great time.

I've edited BK post for the important bits...

We're all allowed to be a bit silly. Let's just not pretend it's anything more.

 

[citydreams]

Laughably, you think you know what I think?!

You seem to be under the illusion that what you're doing is essentially quite 'cool'.

fuck off you twat...

 

[Badger Kitten]

( as I put my coat on)

of course it's silly. Like the Lone Mass Demos are silly ( against SOCPA) . Humour and silliness and eccentricity are some of our best weapons against war-mongering twats.

Narcissistic people can't stand being laughed at. Duh! Suck it up Blair, as we laugh and point and make a racket. It will be really annoying. Good. It's more unsettling than being all ''cool'' and angry. It's Britain at its best. I love silly demos.

 

[Kizmet]

You see.. while people are there to have a great time.. all's good.

It's when people start going to express hatred and anger that I start to get nervous. For everyone's sake.

 

[Kizmet]

Laughably, you think you know what I think?!

Well, you wrote it. Is it not what you think?

fuck off you twat...

Go bang your saucepan, silly boy.

 

[citydreams]

no, we should never express hatred or anger as part of a group. God knows what might happen.

*squeels*

Wow, you truly are the son of god.

Best post on the thread...

.. was actually planning on going.. but just for the silliness.

 

[Kizmet]

It's not impossible.. I don't look much like my other dad. We've always suspected the milkman.

 

[Kizmet]

*squeels*

No, mate. Google knows what might happen.

 

[citydreams]

Where should one vent anger at a warmongering fanatacist then?

 

[Kizmet]

Ask me when you find one.

 

[citydreams]

ok, I found one.

 

[Jonti]

Did someone mention the warmongering fantasists ...

All we have is our voice to undo the hardy lie.
Terror is never our choice. It's better for them to die.
Rather than kill, should I die? If I must, is it best to do both?
Or should we send robots that fly to waste in the name of our oath?

Whatever they tell us, we know there's hardly ever a cause
made better by blow-for-blow, a world made better by wars.
It's a War they're fighting, they say, there's Danger that's Present and Real.
Strike first or have hell to pay! The peril's that urgent, they spiel.

Warplanes swept thru the air. Crusaders stormed overland.
The Weapons of Hell were not there. But who will now make a stand
against the siren songs of fantasists, fools, blow-hards,
their plans now all gone wrong, their vision all in shards.

By false prospectus they warred. No weapons, no threat of worth.
A map to peace that's a fraud for Jerusalem on earth.
A false prospectus. Their choice was reason scared perverse.
And all we have is our voice to undo that windy curse.

 

[Kizmet]

ok, I found one.

Ok. Go ululate at him a bit.. and when you've calmed down come back and maybe we can talk about whether you should have been angry at all... and who precisely at.

But go have a good shout at your figurehead of hate. Or you'll be late.

 

[Jonti]

Sneery and patronising; that's hardly like the son of god, is it?

 

[citydreams]

I won't be late. I work in Westminster. Please, elucidate. I'd love to know who I should be angry at for ignoring public consensus on starting a war we didn't have a chance of winning.
