Protest outside anglo

puffin24

Noticed the gang outside anglo en route home from college. I wonder if these are all people from the protest on Eyre Square or are they newbies? Lots of support from passers by anyway.

Ah normally I wouldnt really agree with the campers on the square, but I assume this protest is the unsecured bond holder stuff thats being paid today so cant say I disagree with them.

Well ze bond holders get there cash today, the cash they gambled away they are getting it all back today. and yes its coming out of your pocket my pocket the whole countries pocketWe all should be outside this black hole of a bank.

Ah sometimes policy and political moves can over-ride economic (and common) sense. I just wish the economic adivsors to the government would stop whispering in the background that these things are bad ideas and start shouting. Not that it matters anyway. Politicians still make the decisions at the end of the day.

I would love to see/hear a recording of Kenny & Noonan, before the election, saying that these bondholders would not be paid.

Anyone got a recording?.

Did you talk to them OP?
Assuming you did engage in verbal discussion and then started this thread, why did you not ask them if they had been in some place called eyre square?

Nope, didnt speak to them (pissing rain and a heavy school bag) and they seem to be gone now. Thought it would last longer, but nasty oul evening for protesting!

They were there yesterday.
Surely you could've stopped a while, taken off your bag and sheltered under the building's awning and asked if they were the same people from eyre square?

We already know they're the same people from Eyre Square, or at the very least, OG sympathisers.

Was it peaceful?

Peaceful Protests don't work.

There's a picture on the Occupy thread from yesterday that shows them. They went from the camp to the IBRC on Monday afaik to mark the payment of bondholders. One thing that stood out was the very small child there.

Yea, I could have done a lot of things. I could have taken out the books from my bag and started flinging them at the protestors, I could have dropped my pants and mooned them. Thought Id ask what I believed to be a relatively easy question that perhaps someone who MAY have stopped a while, taken off their bag and sheltered under the awning may have asked. Because I didnt. Otherwise I wouldnt have asked.
