    There more of that footage I watch on youtube, the more cringeworthy it gets. A small band of retards, Republicans, student twats and thugs gather to throw eggs at the former British Prime Minister.

    Such unforgivable idiocy.

    Some people would be better off knowing their fúcking place.

    I plan to read Blair's book, not because I'm a 'West Brit' (Translate into 'bogmen telling us we can't read certain books') but because I'm curious about the man's life. he was an important historical figure, and will remain so.

    The people protesting his book signing are essentially fascists, opposed to freedom of speech and academic freedom.

    This is why I despise most protestors and the pathetic hive mentality associated with it.

    I heard that during the protests those who were leaving easons after having their books signed were verbally abused by these far left cretans.

    Regardless of your opinion of Tony Blair, shouting abuse at ordinary folk in the street loses you any sort of moral high ground that they may have been taking.

    I hope stories of heavy handedness by the Gardai is proven to be correct.

    Massacring people with patriot missiles don't bother you at all. A couple of eggs is at a 150k BMW is what worries you.

    Same here... I will read it just like I have read Mein Kampf(an ott comparison I know) because I am interested in the man.

    TBH I think they were not protesting the book, but the mans presence.

    The people protesting are a voice for all those murdered at Blair's command. You only support free speech for right wingers and war criminals. What a hero you are! Unfortunately all the dead in Iraq have no free speech but that doesn't bother you at all. Anyway I'm sure you are already anticipating Eoghan Harris' vile rant in the sindo tommorrow. You will druel over it no dount as he defends mass murder and accuses those oppossed to war as being "fascist".

    So it's now fascist to engage in public a protest against a figure perceived by many to be a war mongerer?? How on earth is it opposed to freedom of speech???

    The people who buy his books are 'despicable west brits'

    The Guards who protect a foreign dignatory from assault and murder are 'west brit scum protecting a war criminal'

    The people protesting are the same shower who'd shoot you if you had a friendship with a Protestant.

    The same imbeciles who've kept this country back for generations.

    Your claim that this was not opposed to freedom of speech is destroyed by your use of violence to establish your retarded little point.

    My God how I'm sick of the retarded protestors who ruin this countries good name. I'd love to send them all off to Connaught.

    Your obnoxiousness and massively inflated sense of superiority truly astonishes me.
    I guess that in your ideal society that no one would be allowed to protest at all and that we should be enternally grateful to those sacrosanct few who know best for us, fearful to even consider the question of their authority.


    But following on from your post, I presume you'd also call this man in a wheelchair getting shamefully manhandled by the riot squad a retard too?

    throw eggs at the former British Prime Minister.


    Sounds extremely insignificant to me when compared with the bombs, guns and helicopters involved in the Iraq war to be quite honest.

    I know a few of the people there and what you're saying is complete and utter nonsense. They're nice, down to earth and decent people. They have the courage of their believes.

    The mask is now off and the ignorant extremism of the right winger is exposed.

    To you, everyone is right wing. Which is what pisses me off most about political extremists, the kind who turn up to these events. The unrepresentative hackery of it all is astounding.

    the hypocrisy of trying to suggest your indignant about these protests because it is an affront to academic freedom and freedom of speech. i suspect denerick your responses would be somewhat different if there was a book launch in easons for the likes of Bashar al-Assad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,670 ✭✭✭✭Wolfe Tone


    In my mind there is nothing wrong with protesting. Throwing things damages the protest itself I feel. Enables spin men to write it off as a bunch of idiots on a day out.

    ???:confused: You're letting yourself down even more with this sort of nonsense.

    Personally i would use that term to describe the catholic church, the political and banking establishment

    Where have i used violence and how s my post retarded?

    Just because the tiny and irrelevant contingent of the 32 County Sovereignty Movement were present doesn't mean that everyone who was protesting is some sort of murdering fanatical nationalist. The vast majority where there because they oppose his views on the Iraq war and foreign policy.


    As a side note you consistenly give out about the wide innaccurate brushes that extremism and political protests paints and yet here you are mouthing off complete mis-truths and making ridiculous and faecitious charecterisations.
    Absurdity isn't the word for it.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 6,485 ✭✭✭Denerick


    There were 300 people protesting. Take out the fringe Republican elements, the Palestian solidarity organisation, and the odd anarchist or Trotskyist, and what's left? Maybe one or two students who came along just for the novelty.

    Representative you ain't.

    i believe people are entitled to protect peacefully. i would certainly hope people would protest a visit by the likes of Assad and do so peacefully.

    i hope you are not trying to suggest all who oppose blair's presence and the iraq war were represented by those who could not protest peacefully today. it's pure twaddle if you were.

    I doubt there would be any

    No.

    Blair is a retired British Prime Minister who made a controversial decision to bring Britain into war against Iraq. His decision should be viewed through that lense. Mass protest against the said invasion (Which was both illegal and immoral) is pointless. In reality these kinds of protests are just a way of letting the average student twit his day out in the sun, his chance to feel 'radical' and all that good stuff.

    I'll go to the protest if you can guarantee there were won't be punk hairstyled twats bringing down the decorum of the event.

    Lol. I had to laugh.

    Prophecy or what?

    To quote Mark Twain; 'History does not repeat itself, but it does rhyme'.

    I'm neither a coward or a warmongerer. Just an average guy who believes everybody is entitled to their say, without having to deal with the intimidation by the feckless and the extreme.
