"Power does not lie with governments or the democratically elected representatives, it's held as it should be, by the people. Those who chose to give their rights away deserve everything that will come to them. The right to petition the monarch should be without fear of retribution. They didn't fight for that right for nothing! And I for one don't wish to give it away." Completely agree with you for once. As long as they behave and don't deface anything | |||

I just don't understand how people would deface a memorial to people who sacrificed themselves so people can be free to protest today. Let's not forget how most war memorials are foundation or community funded so they hardly represent state power. The defacing is so counter productive. | |||

"All us british do is follow the propoganda we are fed. Fact is millions are relying on food banks and lots are working families so austerity is not helping them. Its about time folk stood up and made a stand and as long as peaceful will be great however sadly idiots will get the highlights rather than the actual reason for the march. If anyone believes there wont be establishment agitators amongst the marchers think again as a peaceful march does not serve the message the government wish to portray. Instead of just rolling over time to stand up and say this is not right." Two things.... 1) millions relying on food banks? You quite sure about that? 2) what isn't right? That we are a democratic nation and we just had an election? Only spoiled children throw their toys out of the pram when they don't get what they want and this is what this rent a mob are doing. | |||

"# 40 per cent marching for the cause # 60 percent no clue what austerity means "I think you seriously underestimate the intelligence of the British people. Most people understand full well what austerity is, most people don't like austerity however most people also believe it to be necessary. Don't make the mistake, often made by the left, that those who don't see things your way either don't really know or don't really care. It's that attitude towards your opponents that has led the left to massive electoral failure. | |||

It depends on what your perspectives are in life. Obviously if your only thing in life is fucking around on sex sites, you don't need to complain about anything except the possible closure of swinger's sites. Some people would complain that if that's the only thing you've got complain about, your doing alright! | |||

I've got much better things to do with my bank holiday.
Don't see the point in this protest as we just had a general election, which the tories won fair and square in a democratic process, and the main selling point of the tories election campaign was to continue with austerity, and continue with the economic recovery.
These protestors are probably all Labour and SNP supporters with sour grapes. | |||

"Oh dear hate austerity but can't help feel these things are a waste of time. Only winners out of this will be GMP cracking some heads and raking in the overtime.
Cracking the heads of the crack heads
Really some people actually still have a social conscience. Even if you don't. "Actually that is an interesting point. My conscience tells me that I should respect and uphold the laws of the land, that I should not rely on others to look after the things that are my responsibility. It appears that the social conscience you refer to is something different? I don't buy it that people should expect something for nothing. It is a basic premise of life and living that to get something, you have to do something. As it happens, I expect that we will get more complete pussy measures of austerity when what far too many people need is a serious kick up the arse. | |||

My parents live in Southern Spain and seeing the comparison between the two countries is eye opening when I go to visit them. Luckily for them they are in a substantially different position than the locals! Austerity here is less harsh in comparison by a long way. | |||

"Why is it when people try not to be treated like crap, more people treat them like crap? Propaganda." For some it only becomes important when it affects them directly. The bulk of the cuts set out in the last government come into play this year and next. My observation has been that central government have passed the cuts down to local authorities who, unlike central government, have to legally set a balanced budget with no deficit in sight. The ire falls on the local authority departments and not on central government. The way that local authorities have tried to protect themselves is by narrowing the criteria for services, thereby making it much more difficult to access these. For the educated and articulate they can see how to make the criteria work for them when they need those services but for those in severe need, struggling to cope with writing their name let alone filling in a form, it becomes impossible. All of that said this will be one of those narrow threads with five or six people posting the same arguments between each other. So, I'll reduce the numbers and try and not read any further. | |||

"I don't think people fully understand there is a minimum amount needed to live on and sanctioning people takes their money to less than that." Some of these people (not all of them) can better their lives by taking a job and getting into employment. It is also fair to say that for a certain section of society they don't want a job and see a lifetime on benefits as a lifestyle choice. Why should life be made easy for them? | |||

I think most people realise that but what many may not know is why people receive sanctions. Are they not justified by lack of compliance?" Can be, but mainly they are for BS reasons. My son got sanctioned for not going to a jobs fair that he actually went to, luckily YPS (young peoples services) know him and knew he'd been there and backed him up, but other people don't have that back up. People get sanctioned for faults the job centre made and, rightly or wrongly, the job centres are accused of doing this on purpose to fill quotas. People get sanctioned for not understanding how the employment system works. Also, it's not really fair to be able to sanction someone for a whole year for mistakes they made. Sanctioning takes people down to less than minimum requirements to live or exist, don't see how that's fair even for one week. | |||

I think most people realise that but what many may not know is why people receive sanctions. Are they not justified by lack of compliance?" i was unfortunate to be on unemployment benefit not so long ago . signed on on December 22nd .told i did not need to sign on till the 9th of jan due to the xmas &new year holidays all well and good you may think but no on the 2nd of jan receive a letter dated 22nd from the job centre asking me to attend an inter_iew on the 29th of December at the local job center re some training .now as yo can see i did not recieve the letter untill after the day of the inter_iew i immediatly contacted the job center to be told i was to be sanctioned for not attending the inter_iew . so now i was being sanctioned (money stopped for two weeks ) for something entirely out of my hands luckily i had recieved some money from family for xmas which tided me over but if i hadnt had that safetey net i would of had to survive for two weeks on nothing ! so that would mean in the depths of the british winter i would of had no money for gas electric food drink or anything else plus i would be expected to sign on at the job center and apply for a minimum of three jobs a day via there web site or face further sanction with no money for internet and none for bus fares . thats how easy it is to get in to difficultys through no fault of my own . k | |||

"Gov PDF files? Are they available to the public or did you find them on a memory stick left on a train? Lol fair enough yeah i didn't think of that. They are available if you google them. I usually just post the link then they know exactly which one i'm talking about. You can ask for any information you want from the government as well. Be honest, you're a double agent for the government aren't you? Trying to turn people against communism?

"If the biggest anti-war protest in human history could be ignored, then why bother marching for or against anything ever again? Possibly to create awareness of the issue. Just a thought!" British Chancellors have to develop a very particular set of skills: pinning the blame on their predecessors for the state of “the books”; getting their excuses in early; administering tough medicine today but promising jam tomorrow; making a little go a long way; and, perhaps most importantly, aligning the economic and fiscal cycles with the electoral cycle. | |||

You will no doubt see examples of all this later on the news as they try to justify the disruption in Manchester and the inconveniencing of the great British public as they just want to get on with their daily lives. A far cry from Manchester two weeks ago when 40,000 or so GREAT people descended on the city to walk, crawl and run 10k just to help their fellow human beings. Anti austerity protest my arse. Mindless thugs with nothing better to do with their sad, pathetic lives more like it. " Spot on. a six thumber. | |||

Cracking the heads of the crack heads
Really some people actually still have a social conscience. Even if you don't.
Actually that is an interesting point. My conscience tells me that I should respect and uphold the laws of the land, that I should not rely on others to look after the things that are my responsibility.
It appears that the social conscience you refer to is something different? I don't buy it that people should expect something for nothing. It is a basic premise of life and living that to get something, you have to do something.
As it happens, I expect that we will get more complete pussy measures of austerity when what far too many people need is a serious kick up the arse. "Kick up the arse? Interesting. Shows your mentality. | |||

"Anyone else going? Peaceful protest doesn't work,never has and never will.." Peaceful, non violent protest can as does work as shown by both Ghandi and Martin Luther King. Also the change in attitude to homosexuality that had spread across the Western World in the last 20 years had been achieved mostly by non violent protect. Where it tends not to work is when the protestors are not totally non violent, they want immediate change and that change is against the clearly expressed _iews and wishes of the majority. | |||

Ghandi might argue that one" Are we talking ghandi who funded and supported different fundamentals throughout his life,preaching nonviolence while still putting together an army to fight in the so called world wars or you talking about ghandi the pop culture icon with a halo over his head.. Ghandi.. really | |||

"Power does not lie with governments or the democratically elected representatives, it's held as it should be, by the people. Those who chose to give their rights away deserve everything that will come to them. The right to petition the monarch should be without fear of retribution. They didn't fight for that right for nothing! And I for one don't wish to give it away. So it will be a peaceful protest then? Or will there be a fair few assholes amongst you? Seems to be de riguer to deface war memorials . War memorials are seen as a sign of the states power over its people!. I don't condone it but I understand it. Really,who sees them as that? I see them as a mark of respect for the fallen,lest their sacrifice ever be forgotten.. As for the defacers of,public stocks of a weekend afternoon.That would be amusing. Dead right .
You ask where I get the idea that there is certain conservatives that would like to bring back 19th century ideology.... Voila
They had stocks in the 19th century?
And your response to people who desecrate war memorials would be what?
Light spot of counselling?
Creative painting course?
Or a pat on the head?
.
Yeah right up until the 19th century!
I would treat it like any other crime funnily enough, like I said I don't condone it but it doesn't make me foam at the mouth like a rabid right wing bring back the stocks conservative!
So before the conservative party was even formed then?
Like any other crime? So all crimes should be treated the same?
Who is foaming at the mouth and what makes you think that myself and the poster who mentioned the stocks are right wing and conservative?
Most of my family and friends support Labour but would agree that the perpetrators of a crime like that deserve to be shamed and punished in a way that the stocks provided. Maybe not literrally but in some similar way.
The conservative party was founded in the 19th century!
Like any other crime does not mean all crimes are the same!
Stop foaming and start thinking
Ye 1843 I think.
So what does like any other crime mean?
Think? Do you think your grandfather would look upon it the way you do?.
Like any other crime means, it gets treated like any other crime.
Due process.
I think my g/grandfather would wish he didn't die in that fucking stupid war he didn't start and was conscripted into by the power of the state!
If you mean ww1 yes it was a stupid war but we should still remember the fallen and pay our respects to them at monuments which have been mainly funded by ordinary people and not the state and which shouldnt be damaged at any cost. And by the state do you mean the Liberal party?
Or do you mean ww2 where we had to defend ourselves against invasion from the National Socialist German Workers Party?". If you conscript millions of citizens into fighting a war they didn't start or want and millions die fighting that war, you have in effect murdered them!. If that isn't an abuse of state power, I don't know what is! I like the way you throw ww2 and fighting against invasion by nazi socialists into the mix, like there's such a thing anyhow!. A French general at the signing of Versailles said, this isn't a peace treaty, it's a twenty year cease fire!. You reap what you sow! | |||

Well unless your completely naive, there was a massive government propaganda campaign to get alot of those "volunteers", so most men felt enormous pressure to volunteer and when that ran dry they legally conscripted you!. What you got in ww2 with the Nazi party is exactly what happens when citizens hand over their power to governments. They may get in the front door with promises of socialism but they nearly always revert to right wing fascism ideology!. There is/was plenty of people who sacrifice lots in life and for this country, they fought for freedom and rights!, so the worse way to dishonour their sacrifice is to hand over your freedom and rights to anyone including your own government, who are there too represent the peoples wishes, not their own beliefs! | |||

And if an mp has to act on what he believes is best for his country isn't that his belief??? Or are you saying that a lot are breaking the law?" He should act on what he believes to best for the whole UK not on what he believes in. It's a subtle differences. As an extreme example a Muslim MP might take the teachings on Sharia law very seriously and believe that they are good laws but possibly vote against there introduction in the UK because he doesn't believe that introducing them here is in the best interests of the whole of the UK. Also, as it is impossible to know what a person truly believes it would be impossible to formulate a law that could be prosecuted so no law, except the laws on treason, has ever been passed. However the legally the MP is neither your representative not delegate. He is meant to act on what he believes is in the best interests of all British Citizens [or subjects as it was] in all territories (such as the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar). It's actually called Virtual Representation. | |||

The whip system is designed to prevent individual MPs from doing what maybe in the best interests of either themselves or their constituents and do what (in the parties mind) is in the national interest. | |||

Or a pat on the head?

Yeah right up until the 19th century!
I would treat it like any other crime funnily enough, like I said I don't condone it but it doesn't make me foam at the mouth like a rabid right wing bring back the stocks conservative!
So before the conservative party was even formed then?
Like any other crime? So all crimes should be treated the same?
Who is foaming at the mouth and what makes you think that myself and the poster who mentioned the stocks are right wing and conservative?
Most of my family and friends support Labour but would agree that the perpetrators of a crime like that deserve to be shamed and punished in a way that the stocks provided. Maybe not literrally but in some similar way.
The conservative party was founded in the 19th century!
Like any other crime does not mean all crimes are the same!
Stop foaming and start thinking
Ye 1843 I think.
So what does like any other crime mean?
Think? Do you think your grandfather would look upon it the way you do?.
Like any other crime means, it gets treated like any other crime.
Due process.
I think my g/grandfather would wish he didn't die in that fucking stupid war he didn't start and was conscripted into by the power of the state!
If you mean ww1 yes it was a stupid war but we should still remember the fallen and pay our respects to them at monuments which have been mainly funded by ordinary people and not the state and which shouldnt be damaged at any cost. And by the state do you mean the Liberal party?
Or do you mean ww2 where we had to defend ourselves against invasion from the National Socialist German Workers Party?.
If you conscript millions of citizens into fighting a war they didn't start or want and millions die fighting that war, you have in effect murdered them!. If that isn't an abuse of state power, I don't know what is!
I like the way you throw ww2 and fighting against invasion by nazi socialists into the mix, like there's such a thing anyhow!.
A French general at the signing of Versailles said, this isn't a peace treaty, it's a twenty year cease fire!.
You reap what you sow!
There were millions more volounteers than conscripts so how do you explain that? And without conscription they might have been murdered anyway along with their wives and children and the weak and vulnerable in society and the state would have been negligent in its duty of protecting its citizens.
And what was the nazi party or the party formed by Hitier actually called then?
And yes by defacing monuments to people who made the ultimate sacrifice you reap what you sow.
I'm sorry but for the life of me I cannot understand how you understand why people would want to do that.
Well unless your completely naive, there was a massive government propaganda campaign to get alot of those "volunteers", so most men felt enormous pressure to volunteer and when that ran dry they legally conscripted you!.
What you got in ww2 with the Nazi party is exactly what happens when citizens hand over their power to governments. They may get in the front door with promises of socialism but they nearly always revert to right wing fascism ideology!.
There is/was plenty of people who sacrifice lots in life and for this country, they fought for freedom and rights!, so the worse way to dishonour their sacrifice is to hand over your freedom and rights to anyone including your own government, who are there too represent the peoples wishes, not their own beliefs!
On a point of law.
Legally your MP is not there to represent either your wishes and beliefs or his own. Legally an MP is meant to vote for what he believes to be in the interests of the United Kingdom regardless of his own personal benefit or indeed even his own constituency.
Source/reference as that surely makes the whip system illegal?
Actually it's pretty what created the whip system. The whip system is designed to prevent individual MPs from doing what maybe in the best interests of either themselves or their constituents and do what (in the parties mind) is in the national interest."but you just said "Legally an MP is meant to vote for what he believes to be in the interests of the United Kingdom " not what the party belives . so you're now contradicting yourself. | |||

Basically what you're saying is...nowt? Or the law you mention is a load o bolox? Damn, I love a good arg.... err.. debate on here "Actually it's not blocks. The principle of Virtual Representation is best explained in Sir William Blackstones' Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765 - 1769) where he clearly says:- The number of English MPs is 513, and of Scots 45; in all 558. And every member, though chosen by one particular district, when elected and returned serves for the whole realm. For the end of his coming thither is not particular, but general; not barely to advantage his constituents, but the common wealth; to advise his majesty (as appears from the writ of summons "de dommuni consillio super negotiis qubusdam arduis et urentibus, regem, status et defensionem regni Angliae et ecclesiae Anglicanae concernentibus" [concerning the common council upon certain difficult and urgent affairs relating to the king, the state, the defence of the kingdom of England and of the English church]. And therefor he is not bound, like a deputy in the united provinces, to consult with, or take the advice, of his constituents upon any particular point, unless he himself thinks it proper or prudent so to do. And as set out by Algernon Sidney, the person who thought up the ideas behind the principle of Virtual Representation put it in 1680 and as quoted in 'VIRTUAL REPRESENTATION AND THE PARLIAMENTARY OLIGARCHY' Sidney then distinguishes between the Netherland and Swiss governments, which are federal, and the English, which is national. He decides that "it is not therefore for Kent or Sussex, Lewis or Maidstone but for the whole nation, that the members chosen in those places are sent to serve in Parliament. And though it be fit for them as friends and neighbours, so far as may be, to hearken to the opinions of the electors for the information of their judgments, and to the end that what they shall say may be of more weight, when every one is known not to speak his own thoughts only, but those of a great number of men, yet they are not strictly and properly obliged to give account of their actions to any, except the whole body of the nation which they serve, and who are equally concerned in their resolutions." Since this is not practical [edit: to police]," the only punishment to which they are subject, if they betray their trust, is scorn, infamy, hatred, and an assurance of being rejected, when they shall again seek the same honour. Virtual Representation is the bases on which all MPs in the house of commons sit to this day. They represent and are meant to vote for what they believe to be the best interest of the whole nation (including any part of the nation permanently overseas such as a colony), not just their constituents or those that voted for them. | |||
