I am sure with over 30 ears experience that if they had caused disrution there would be fightsd and injuries , common-sense els me that, do not need to have proof , what a silly statement , unlike you it was an expression of my experience. Your statement was made to attempt to discount what I said in a silly way.
American Gun laws were mentioned in response to previous statements made by others in regard to over policing, I submit that said over-policing prevented touble aka fights and injuries,but as usual my remarks have been carefully adjusted to mean something else. I have in the past been part of policing demonstrations some peaceful and others the opposite , I can tell you they although starting peaceful soon escalate and often caused by innocent members of the public getting really upset at the demonstration . NOT a pretty sight , peacful one minute and then within seonds a morass of people getting hit, etc, the worst are the women . OR would you prefer the American way of everyone carrying openly a gun /loaded and ready to fire ,with then deaths . maybe you would, speaks volumes about you Mr Whistler .
Support for the monarchy down or up, matters not it is what the British have at least unlike other countries they do not lie, commit offences against their own people, in fact they actually encourage income rather than fritter it away in assisting their sycophants .. Like in other so-called English speaking democratic countries
Finally as you admitted you emigrated maybe you should pay more attention to you current government rather than attempt to teach the British about theirs
How come your posts always give me wry smile? I think it might be the inconsistency of your, statement,/posts/arguments/rants?
Now here is me a dual national, able to vote in Britain and Australia but somehow, according to you, I can not comment on British subjects.
Here is you, not an American citizen, and having emigrated to Thailand, can and did in this last post, make highly derisive comments about that country.
You are tangling yourself into knots without apparently recognising thus.
Just for grins, I have taken an active part in two of the biggest protests Australia has ever experienced. Against Vietnam, where there was some argy bargy at on event, but mostly peaceful and when 80,000 people marched in two protests, through Sydney to protest at Murdoch trying to kill of south Sydney football club. It was a happy and carnival like event.
Two protests that had great outcomes and allowing people to express their views, no babies were trampled, no brawls, all well organised and effective events.
