which remind me, the people that man the permement anti-war (and bolt
on a load of unrelated issues) protest outside parliment - what do
they do for a living and how come they get so much time off?



Actually, from what I have read, it is "protestor" (singular noun) and
Parliament is about to pass an Act of Parliament to get rid of him (why

they
just don't sweep it all away when he is absent - which seems to be most of

the
time) I do not understand.

To answer your subsidiary questions: he is undoubtedly unemployed /
unemployable and people like me, law-abiding taxpayers, are funding his
indolent and useless lifestyle.


If he is getting up the noses of the politicians to the point where they are
wanting to take specific action to remove him he is hardly being "indolent
and useless".

If no one will give him a job then he is at least causing political
discomfort to others at a cost of physical discomfort to himself. Again
hardly "indolent and useless".

Someone who sits on their backside at home however, complaining about people
who make their voice heard is almost certainly "indolent and useless".

Parliament wasting time, which could be more usefully spent, in getting rid of
this eyesore, is hardly, I would suggest "useful".

If no one will give him a job then he is at least causing political
discomfort to others at a cost of physical discomfort to himself. Again
hardly "indolent and useless".


If he is unable to fulfil the basic requirements of being employed, i.e.
attending work instead of sitting in Parliament Square most of the day, then it
this that makes him unemployable.

Someone who sits on their backside at home however, complaining about people
who make their voice heard is almost certainly "indolent and useless".


I, unlike the object of this thread, am up "off my backside" by 6.30a.m. most
mornings and (traffic and trains allowing) on my way to wrl by 7.30am. and
often not home till 8 or 9p.m. For why? So that I can provide for me and mine,
and also, seemingly, to provide for the no-hoped already rferred to.

At least HE cannot think me "indolent" or "useless" since without me and those
of my ilk he would die of starvation.

You really ought to try seeing the big picture.

Highly unlikely since by being there he is making himself unavailable for
work and would therefore have his Jobseekers Allowance stopped. It is
possible that he has health problems that causes potential employers not to
offer him a job.

Well he can't be too physically ill to be able to camp out rough for that
long. Mentally however its quite obvious he's not fireing on all cylinders
in which case why the hell would anybody be the slightest bit interested in
his opinion? If I want some political insight I'll get it from the media or
even listen to a politician occasionally , I don't head off to the local
funny farm to consult the nutcases and other assorted retards within. The
sooner this waste of space is moved on the better though it does worry me
that we have to pass an act of parliament to move him. Has no one in the
government the balls to just get some police or a bunch of squaddies down and
shift him or are they all too worried about what the PC muesli munchers in
islington will say about it?

Seems like you've got mental health problem's as well, you just don't know
it yet. Since when could we rely on politicians or the media for anything
objective? They're pursuing their own agenda's; this guy however has no axe
to grind.

Just because someone has such a problem doesn't make them wrong in their
views, nor does it make them a "retard" nor a "nutter". There are many
highly creative and intelligent people who suffer from mental health
problems. Grow up and stop confusing illness and inttelligence.

You can only use the police to shift him if he is commiting an offence.
Since MPs are having to pass a new Bill and by so doing create a new law to
get rid of him, it's obvious he's not; merely excercising his right to free
speech and peaceful protest. Having such a closed, narrow mind that you
dismiss the message because you disapprove of the messenger says more about
you that it does him.

Yet again, B2003, I find myself in total agreement with you!

What a sensitive soul you are. Like most bullies, always ready to hand out
abuse to others but then takes a suggestion aimed at the world in general as
if it's a direct personal attack. You'd best go and find your Mummy's apron
to dry your tears.
