Thought for the day - the month - for ever

I'd rather kill myself living

than live a death.

There's absolutely no comparison.

Sadly, some people appear to be prepared to stop living well before they are dead.

Do they 'live', energised by a fear of their inability to continue eating, breathing and sleeping?

Luckily the people of the third world don't have this privilege.

Presumably they determinedly live as long as they can.

The demonstration assembly point is the University of Manchester’s baked bean tin-style University Place. The crowd swells rapidly, and it’s not just the usual suspects coming out to protest. For sure, student activists are there in force, handing out badly photocopied fliers and hawking socialist newspapers, but the crowd is overwhelmingly made up of that mythical creature, the ‘normal student’. And not just from the universities either. With apparently little formal organisation, walkouts had taken place in schools and further education colleges across the city, and the angry students had converged on the demonstration.

The demonstration is under way now, students pouring up the Oxford Road. As in London before the ‘Siege of Millbank’ a few weeks ago, the energy in the crowd is overwhelming, and the hatred for the coalition visceral. Chants ring out calling Clegg a traitor and Cameron a … well, you can imagine. Two A level students Catherine and Rose from Xavarian tell me they’re “here to show them that we’re not having it … it might mean we can’t go to uni, and our friends on the EMA won’t be able to carry on doing what they’re doing.” When I put to them the coalition’s claim that the fees won’t put poorer students off coming to university, they look incredulous, “it’s well dear – of course it will!” The Liberal Democrats have probably lost an entire generation of voters.

Send this to your mate TIM FARRON
Yours aye

I'm not sure Tim is too happy about the Conservative side of the Coalition.

The argument goes: the Liberals are having a moderating influence.

So what do you make of the Police tactic of Kettling ? - Keeping demonstrators penned in and not allowing them to leave for six hours (or more?) at a time.

Seems to me to be - imprisoning without charge and against the law.

The police cant get away with criminal acts due to the camera.
It has become a lever for justice and evidence as you often prove Geoff.
No excuse for the Liar democrat's
They would have had more control and influence in opposition to the "TOXIC TORIES" quote Tim Farron
Clegg is an example of no morals.
Still he must pay for his fags the Liar

Even at the moment of the coalition formation – which hit those who had previously supported the Liberal Democrats like a punch in the stomach – there was the hope that at least they could act to prevent the worst Tory instincts to slash and cut at the foundations of UK society. The destruction didn’t start when a group of protestors entered the unlocked doors of Millbank Tower. It started when the Liberal Democrats decided to renege on every single promise that they’d made, and pretend it was for our own good.
