EU Constitution protest outside parliament

! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.

Protesters climbed a crane in Parliament Square today in protest at the British government’s continued refusal to give us a referendum on the EU not-a-Constitution.

A legal protest last week was virtually ignored by the media when protesters opposing expansion of Heathrow Airport climbed onto the roof of Westminster Palace.  Ignored by the media and ignored by the British government, they presumably saw only one way to get the attention they needed.

What kind of a sham of democracy do we live in when people with a legitimate protest feel that they need to break the law in order to get noticed?

    ‘Dull political fringe group make dull political statement in parliment square’

    Of course you have to add a little razzamatazz to your demo to get it noticed!

    WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?

    WHY HAV NOT YOU ASKED THE PUBLIC THERE OPINION ON THIS SUBJECT?

    Its not fair that we dont get a say and only you get to choose the end result. The people elected you give them the referendem. They elected you so the least you can do is let them take part in this debate because just think if it was not for the public you would not be here in the place you are now!!
