Nasty stuff over there. Perhaps they will re-think protesting government cuts when the tax bill comes.

There’s no such thing as a “right” to ignore reality if it entails violating the real rights of others or hastening the bankruptcy of a nation that recognizes real rights.

Those young animals will never see a ‘tax’ bill. Britain appears to be in the same position as us and even closer to WI & CA; as they can no longer keep up with filling the trough.

You won’t see anything close to this in the U.S.’s burgeoning number of states with concealed carry and no duty to retreat laws. A couple of these hooded punks would get shot and the party would be over. It is what should have happened in the UK, by the police.

Still waiting for Chris Matthews and the rest of the leftist media in the US to denounce the violence and incivility of the British mobs. I’ve already seen them try to excuse it by saying it was only realtively few of the 500K protesters who took part.

Nobody in the Socialist Workers’ Party actually worker.

They are more socialist than they are worker.

No chance. Why should they? Most of the people who were protesting (and none of those who were rioting) will be paying for it, after all.
