Off Topic The Politics Thread

[West London Willy]

Good afternoon in Windsor making my voice heard along with so many others.

For those who would try and dismiss protesters as ‘middle class , trendy wannabe agitators, you clearly don’t understand how someone can be in a position of relative privilege and still berate the abhorrentbtreatment being doled our to the poor, the non-white, the women, the LGBTQ, the elderly, the children, basically anyone outside his circle. It’s called not being a self centred prick, basically. If you want to still dismiss people who care enough to make it known, then go ahead. I know some will.

Personally, I’d far rather do as I have done than sit back behind a keyboard and be so pathetically accepting of his racist, sexist, homophobic actions.

I did find this funny.

These protests are a national embarrassment.
Respect the office of President.
I suspect much of it is simply anti-American carping from the usual suspects.

Good enjoy yourself as Trump is in Scotland and I am watching First night at the Proms.

Stroller.....if I called a black man with a posh voice a ‘coconut’ would you consider it racist ?
And if you do then do you consider this ‘gammon’ thing racist as well ?

Honestly not against you personally but had a discussion about this yesterday with a mate.....Personally don’t care what someone calls me in reference to my colour but finding the whole ‘joke’ a bit hypocritical.

We've been through this, Stainesy. It's not racist. No middle-aged white man with a tendency to turn red with anger has ever been discriminated against because they are middle-aged, white, or a bit reactionary.

Sadly with Stroller if you called someone a black man he would argue that he is white even if the black man said he was black. He is too fixed in his ways and would never say okay you're right.

Ouch. You got me Ellers, you're definitely right.

Stop making yourself look like a dick. He was in Windsor this afternoon. Why do you keep trying to wind me up? Do your carers know you’re online?

Again - it’s possible to do two things: respect the office, but hold the incumbent in udder contempt. We’re protesting the crimes and actions he’s commiting as he completely disrespects the office he’s been given by his paymasters.

Have we been through this ? Sorry I must of missed it....or forgotten.

But surely it’s referring to someone’s personality and colour ie white/pink being the colour of gammon.....like ‘coconut’ is referring to a black persons colour and personality as well.....so does that mean ‘coconut’ is acceptable ?

Are you gonna answer my previous post to you mate ?

No, they are all in Turnbury in Scotland. Real protesters, not like the liberal elite in Windsor. I hope you made lots of noise because I couldn't hear you. All I could hear was our proud soldiers playing some fab music. make sure you trash Starbucks on the way out so you can really be a demonstrator.

Reading that post again Wills makes you out to be one of those ‘middle class, trendy wannabe agitators’
I’ll ask again, did you protest against the Chinese or Saudi visit ? Or didn't that really matter to the ‘liberal elite’ ?

I had to go back and search for it amongst all the crap being posted whilst I was out.

Two comments: firstly, as for other ‘visitors’, some I protested, others I didn’t. Mainly due to lack of time or opportunity.

This doesn’t give Trump a pass to act as he does. He’s not the only one who has basically seized power then abused it for his own benefit. He’s there now, and deserves all the bile and vitriol directed at him the world over. He’s acting like so many dictators have in the past, truly believing himself above, or outside, the law. After the DOJ indicted 12 Russian agents today, who were in direct contact with his campaign team during the election and who were directly attacking his opponents, it’s only a matter of time before he’s out. I can’t wait.

Seized power?

Yes. Seized power. Keep up. There’s eighteen months of evidence online. Go look.
