Democracy UK - pulled out of the coffin and slapped around once more

NETCU Watch | 29.11.2006 23:56 | Animal Liberation | Repression

Democracy - already dead and put to rest - pulled out of the coffin and slapped around once more! This time the state want to thoroughly eliminate the remains! How much of this can people sit back and take? It's your life. It's your world. You decide.

This week The Guardian newspaper have reported that Police are to demand new powers to arrest protesters for causing offence through the words they chant and the slogans on their placards and even headbands.

It's reported that the country's biggest force, the Metropolitan police, is to lobby the attorney general, Lord Goldsmith, because officers believe that large sections of the population have become increasingly politicised, and there is a growing sense that the current restrictions on demonstrations are too light.

We need to do what I say

The problem with democracy in Britain is that it has always reflected the views of the majority but not pseudo Left Wing intellectuals like myself who know so much better than the lumpen Working Class who fail to vote in a way I find acceptable.

What Britain needs is a grass routes Socialist Revolution so that clever people like me can make all the decisions for the lower classes and run the country in the way we know is better.

Having spent some time reading some very thick and heavy books by some 19th Century authors I feel able to deal with all the problems of our country and the wider world however when I have taken the time to explain these ideas to others they have been too stupid to understand them so obviously this proves my premis that I should be in charge alongside my friends.

I will await your your call to lead
