I salute these people, these people give hope.
Iāve been to this area a few times over the years to eat out and have an interview or just a wander.
They wonāt say when they have been doing this from and why.
Not cool.

What are the choices? Do I have to take a side? I think many of the protestors have genuine grievances/concerns. Just like many of the Gilet Jaunes.
I also think others (including US organisations) are jumping on the bandwagon, fomenting unrest as a stick to beat China with.
I fully expect the Chinese to go full on Macron on their arses.
Either way we are selling tear gas and crowd control weaponry to them all, so rosy as ya like.

Iād hope youād take the side of the democrats, the yellow vests are very different in their goals (this is their failure as they have so many and theyāre both extreme left and right), this is pro democracy, the very essence of a supposed and I say supposed civil society, of course nations are jumping on the bandwagon, its a bloody good bandwagon to jump on though.
Lets face it, be on the right side for once.
Whyād you always need a side, you wanker?
You didnāt need a comma there son.
Explosion imminentā¦
I see the accusations of onanism were not disputed.
Seriously mate, itās fucking wearying. Iāve met partisan people. I lived in NI for three years.
Iāve also lived in Liverpool for nigh on 25 years.
You know what? I prefer the place where you donāt have to pick a fucking side.
Northern Ireland is sectarian and not a war of democracy so that argument is baseless, Iām arguing for democracy and you want to sit on the fence and not take sides?
Am I missing something Mr Kissinger?
Pap youāre confusing things as per normal, Northern Ireland isnāt comparable in anyway, this is about democracy.
Northern Ireland is a democracy.
Really? When was the last time their assembly convened?
There doesnāt have any relation to a democracy and to how it functions, their mpās were elected, elected on sectarian lines Iāll add but elected none the less.
Iāll refer you to the good Friday agreement concerning democracy, not home rule in the failure of parties to agree.
Again different things Pap.
Half their MPs never take their seats. How is that representative democracy?
EDIT: A small catalogue of @Barry-Sanchezās unanswered questions.
- What is sectarianism?
- When did Stormont last assemble?
- How does representative democracy work when half the representatives donāt turn up?
Iāll keep adding these to the bottom of my posts, Bazza.
Iād like to see him answer those in poem form if at all possible

Pap that is different to democracy, the failure to recognise the British Government is also their right, they stand in UK elections donāt they?
Sectarianism is or are thoughts biased to one religion normally.
Stormont hasnāt seen an mp working in it for 2 and a bit years but again I fail to see what that has to do with democratic function, why was it dissolved?
Sectarianism, not democracy.
Haiku here, please.
