 Yes, probably.

I wouldn't surprise me if te two lots of ilks go together

She is a piece of work, isn't she ?

Have a read of this. You might say the same thing about this lot of protestors !

"Socialist Alternative’s Ridah Hassan offered words of defiance to these accusations the mob assaulted Julie Bishop, stating “she got what she deserved.” Curiously, Hassan followed this statement by declaring “we deserve an apology.”

Such words are instructive of the hysterical unreasonableness on the extreme left, in that they can simultaneously behave egregiously, yet feel aggrieved."

So to use her words, "she got what she deserved" !!!

Officially sanctioned protest, sounds like an oxymoron to me.

(did I mention I'm reading 1984 atm)

You wouldn't believe how much coordination goes on behind the scenes between the Police and Protest Organisers

for some of these protests.

One cop I knew said they can be weeks in the planning.

There are the habitual protest groupies, they do not even know what a protest is about or even care they are there for the social activity.

Rent-a-protest love them and get them as a freebie.

Well I would actually, but my comment still stands

[poddster]

Still reading it?

Once you have read it follow it up with the movie Equilibrium

Sorry, that was a general comment, not questioning your post,

which I thought funny.

I do wish we had a blank reply button !

Ha  good try.. no deflecting though, from Pyne's Budget proposals to deregister Uni fees and change from index to interest rate on HELP loans....PROTEST WORTHY

NSW Police have launched an investigation into the protest, which they said posed a safety risk to both police and protesters.

In a statement, police alleged protesters blocked the building's driveway and attempted to push through a single door entrance to the building.

No-one has been arrested or charged and four people including the building manager were treated at the scene by ambulance staff.

Police have appealed to the public for information about the incident.

Must have been over reaction from police, if no one arrested or charged!
