Yesterday I was trying to get home from Euston to Tooting Broadway.
Not normally the most epic of journeys. But there were major problems
on the Northern Line, so I got off at London Bridge. I took an
overground train to Charing Cross and got on a 24 to go to Victoria.

Whitehall was completely blocked off because of those protesters
again, something to do with Tamils. I think they are either for or
against them. Buses were being diverted god-knows-where. So I got off,
walked to Westminster, took a tube to Victoria, took the overground to
Balham then realised that both Balham and Tooting Broadway were shut
owing to engineering works, so I had to get a 355 bus home.

Anyway, when the French trawlermen blockaded the port recently P&O
said it was thinking of suing them. Is there some organization behind
these Parliament Square demos that might be sued by disgruntled
punters?

They weren't entirely to blame, but they didn't help.

Why don't you find out what it's about?

It might turn out to be something more important than your journey.

Presumably the British Government is either killing or failing to kill
Tamils in Sri Lanka.

Who gives a stuff what happens on an island 5000 miles away? If the
protesters are all so concerned about the place why don't they fly
over there and help sort it out instead of causing a nuisance here
and demand our govenrment "do something"? Do what exactly? Send the
gunboats to Columbo? Fscking idiots.

B2003-

The decision not to give a stuff entails finding out, which was what I
suggested.

One might also find out what it is that they are asking someone to do.

It's one thing to say "my journey was disrupted by something which I
disagree with and/or consider to be pointless".

This post was "something that I can't be bothered to find out about
has disrupted my journey, but by definition it must be less important
than my journey".

I am sure that you could tell me.

I am not going to exert myself because that would mean that blocking
off central London to traffic is a tactic which succeeds, and then
every nutcase group will close off main roads.

So paint yourself a trendy banner, book a flight over there and campaign
in front of the sri lankan government building. Be prepared to be badly
beaten up by the majority sinhalese however who've had to put up with
over 30 years of terrorist atrocities from the tamil tigers that all these
fsck witted bleeding heart tamils on the front lawn of westminster are sobbing
over.
