Anti-Capitalism Protest

Jump to newest

Titz Towers, North Notts

Has anyone seen this, or is taking part?

It is a protest in Trafalgar Square (turns out not to be next to Fenchurch St according to my mate), against capitalism. They are camping out in the Square overnight and handing out food to the needy.

A friend of mine has gone down today and is coming back up here tomorrow. I've wished him good luck, but did query it with him. He's having to take 2 days off work, unpaid to do this and I told him it would be cheaper to pay his brother to go in his place. In fact, he would end up ahead on the deal. He wasn't so keen on this.

I advised him to see a show whilst he is down there. The museum of Comedy is doing a Tommy Cooper show that looks good and I thought he'd be mad to go all that way and not see it. He wasn't interested, sadly. I also asked him if he could do some Christmas shopping for me, if I gave him a list. Stuff from Harrods for a Maiden Aunt of mine and various friends of my mum's who are all of a certain age. No deal.

I did try my best to help him enjoy his anti-capitalism protest, but I suppose you can't help everyone.

Why have they chosen Guy Fawkes?

All he wanted was to install a catholic head of state in England who was loyal to the pope and the king of spain.

Hardly what I would consider an anti-capitalist hero!

But after the credit crush, sub prime miss selling, banking collapse, libor scandal, financial meltdown across Europe etc ect.. and the fact no ones been held accountable for their actions!

I may be wrong but I expect the usual suspects will use this 'anti capitalism' protest to riot and cause widespread damage to private property.

And if there's no capitalism - what then?

Yes but the anti-capitalist Russel Brand has been telling people not to bother voting. He says he is against capitalism yet he wants to sell his booky wooky to millions of people and make millions of pounds profit in the process. He also seems to enjoy making a lot of money from comedy/stand up tours/radio shows/television appearences and personally i think he is a bit of a hypocrite.

....Maybe he just likes doing stand up and radio shows and writing books and making millions but paying his fair share of tax as a wealthy individual?.

Maybe he thinks voting is a waste of time because it never really changes anything anyhow, he's got a point most big societal changes came from rioting and not voting. Maybe he is a hypocrite who knows.

As far as I know and heard he pays his tax,s and works so he's as entitled to an opinion as everyone else is.

Socialism social-ism an ideology based around society.

Marxism marx-ism an ideology based around the work of Karl Marx.

Capitalism capital-ism an ideology based around money.

All these ideologies are just concepts thought up by people, like Tuesday or weekends or football or money! there not indelible like elements or mathematics, you can't find a better way of adding 2+2=4 it just is.

Concepts like all ideas can be changed for better ones.

Take a real good look at the world today with the insurmountable problems that accrue monthly and ask yourselves, do you think it can carry on much longer the way it is.

I'm curious as to Brand's own tax arrangements and I wouldn't be surprised if these aren't being probed, as it is such a cliché - the radical who is a bit of a rogue himself (Horatio Bottomley, etc).

Russel Brand could donate all his fortune to charities or those less well off than himself. Maybe then i may start to take notice of anything he has to say if he practices what he preaches.

But I'm guessing he was wealthy before he declared an interest in anti capitalism and he's probably making less money being anti establishment than he did before so he's not really a hypocrite as such!

Hong Kong has a different dynamic to it, those demonstrations would never have been allowed to happen in North Korea.

I was hoping he'd make the most of his time. I worked out a programme for him that would have avoided the demo completely, but he thought I was missing the point. Forsooth!

He seemed to be enjoying all the trappings of wealth in the executive box at Upton Park last week. Not very anti establishment behaviour that us it ?

Nah, anti-establishment is the way to get noticed, and make money (15 million apparently) then start up 'tax-efficient' film schemes.

Sorry, I thought we were talking about Russell Brand, and his current pr campaign to publicise his 'brand', to encorage investment in his new film company, to make a film about him, to make him and his fellow investers even richer, so that they can further separate themselves from the people they purport to empathise with. While minimising tax payments the rest of us make, because we believe that is what 'society' is about, not knocking over a few bins and throwing fireworks at policemen!

How can he be mugging them off by telling them he's a firm believer in a fairer tax system and that tax's should be higher for wealthy individuals like himself or that the establishment is in a constant battle to keep poor people poor.

I've just watched and read loads of his tweets and videos and not once did he say he was a communist.

As far as I can tell he's a wealthy guy who's made loads and paid his tax's and is arguing that the system is corrupted towards the wealthy and that he and they should be paying more!.

Would agree with that, again if he practiced what he preaches he would sit in the stands with the masses and not get himself a cosy little executive box to sit in.

He's getting wealthy by selling books telling how the system is corrupt towards the wealthy

I'd say that was mugging people off. But that's just my interpretation of it.

What does he preach!.

I've read lots of made up stuff about films and tax scams and private box's but I can't find one video or tweet about private box's should be outlawed or one article on any tax avoidance he's done.

And you really ought to be pretty sure when writing that as its libelous.

"I think he's always been a west ham fan, and as far as I know I'm pretty sure west ham football club ain't the political establishment.

My point was if he just wanted to make money I'm sure he could make more saying the right stuff and not the stuff the establishment don't like being said.

But by being in a box he is separating himself from the riff raff who are ok when they buy his books and DVDs but not to sit amongst.

Well on that token surely the people buying his books and DVDs are aware of his views but chose to buy them anyway.

Or as we say in his parlance. He's just mugging them off.

How can he be mugging them off by telling them he's a firm believer in a fairer tax system and that tax's should be higher for wealthy individuals like himself or that the establishment is in a constant battle to keep poor people poor.

I've just watched and read loads of his tweets and videos and not once did he say he was a communist.

As far as I can tell he's a wealthy guy who's made loads and paid his tax's and is arguing that the system is corrupted towards the wealthy and that he and they should be paying more!.

He's getting wealthy by selling books telling how the system is corrupt towards the wealthy

I'd say that was mugging people off. But that's just my interpretation of it. "

I'd say if you freely hand over your money too a chap who's wrote a book declaring that, when it's already been wrote a thousand times over the last 150 years.

You need mugging off

Yes but the anti-capitalist Russel Brand has been telling people not to bother voting. He says he is against capitalism yet he wants to sell his booky wooky to millions of people and make millions of pounds profit in the process. He also seems to enjoy making a lot of money from comedy/stand up tours/radio shows/television appearences and personally i think he is a bit of a hypocrite. ....Maybe he just likes doing stand up and radio shows and writing books and making millions but paying his fair share of tax as a wealthy individual?.

Maybe he thinks voting is a waste of time because it never really changes anything anyhow, he's got a point most big societal changes came from rioting and not voting. Maybe he is a hypocrite who knows.

As far as I know and heard he pays his tax,s and works so he's as entitled to an opinion as everyone else is.

Socialism social-ism an ideology based around society.

Marxism marx-ism an ideology based around the work of Karl Marx.

Capitalism capital-ism an ideology based around money.

All these ideologies are just concepts thought up by people, like Tuesday or weekends or football or money! there not indelible like elements or mathematics, you can't find a better way of adding 2+2=4 it just is.

He used to sit in the crowd , I would see him every Saturday. I could tell you exactly where he sat. I've spoke to him at football on a few occasions. He has not sat in the crowd for ages but prefers to hob nob it in the players lounge.

But they do like to bang on about how they're so connected to the public, how they're just the same- yet they voted themselves a large pay rise while all the 'normal' civil servants were given below inflation or bugger all. They seem to be able to commit fraud with their expenses claims and if they get caught they just pay it back and say 'sorry, administration error' yet the rest of us would face prison, they want to monitor our every move under the guise of 'anti-terrorism', yet at the same time they're passing laws to keep everything they do secret. they bury bad news, manipulate figures, disguise corruption and control the press.

I really don't give a shit if Brand makes some more money from spouting off about it all as long as people start to notice what an absolute shower of shit this current lot are.

Seems like indifference wins the day again. No point in raising awareness to anything because it just gets ignored.

When it comes to corporate greed and poor practices of some of the wealthiest company's/financial institutions... it's probably best to let them people in Westminster take control because they do a damn good job of it.

They all go out to dinner together and party's... so they know each other really well!

Some people take action by posting on forums, other people protest in the street.

Companies are earning record profits in many cases, the implication that there is no money around simply isn't true, it's just being held at the top.

I don't see anything wrong in what the protesters are saying.

Newspapers campaign to inflame public sentiment which in turn makes politicians take positions they may not have otherwise taken. So when they say Murdoch runs the country I think they have a point.
