So what are you saying, you can't be an "ordinary person" if you
demonstrate? No doubt some demonstrators are "ordinary" people but, I firmly believe, the vast majority of "ordinary" people do not demonstrate - ever. Marc. |

Quite frankly it is wishful thinking to try to argue that the "anti-war" feeling was that strong. Given the total population of the UK, I do not recall the country grinding to a halt in a way it would have done so, had most of its adult population joined a demonstration. There are other ways of expressing opinions to parading in the streets. Robert Griffith |

There are other ways of expressing opinions to parading in the streets. What you write above is totally nonsensical, incoherent and inconsistent. You argue that anti-war feeling wasn't strong because the UK didn't grind to a halt as a result of the demonstration. You then argue that there ways of expressing opinions other than demonstrating. If that's the case then why on earth are you trying to say that anti- war feeling wasn't strong on the basis of participation in a demonstration? 0/10 for intelligence -- message by Robin May, but you can call me Mr Smith. Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing". Then and than are different words! |

Because I don't agree with your sentiments, my views are "totally nonsensical, incoherent and inconsistent! and I get 0/10 for intelligence! Typical of those who force their views on others through demonstrating perhaps? Robert Griffith |

Hello. I'm one of those "roaring fascists of the left wing". Then and than are different words! Allow me, if I may, to reply. Robin, you seem to have some difficulty in accepting a consistency between 2 totally consistent and coherent statements: 1. Anti-war feeling is lower than it has been hyped-up to be. 2. There are other ways of making one's anti-war feelings known other an public street demonstrations. Marc. |

the vast majority of "ordinary" people do not demonstrate - ever. Marc. What exactly is an ordinary person? Someone who is not a member of the rent-a-mob that turns out for most demonstrations that take place. Marc. |

Someone who is not a member of the rent-a-mob that turns out for most demonstrations that take place. I've never been to a demonstration, but I've been in agreement with several. Plenty of my friends are the same. (We're an apathetic lot). I don't think you can just dismiss demonstrations of this scale as a "rent-a-mob" - especially not if you're going to use "silent majority" arguments. Jonn |
