So put that Che beret and combat jacket back in the cupboard, chuck that Guerilla Warfare Handbook back on the shelf and get yourself off down the Bermondsey Arms. The revolution won't be starting today.

Very true and too the point Wyn

Nah ! The only revolution you're likely to find me in, is if it's a Pub called the "Revolution".

Since labour's obnoxious, bumbling man of straw shook hands with Mugabe, then claimed he had not realised who it was without his goggles, Hague can still hold his head up high - despite his own peccadiloes!

Yes, at least Hague hasn't shared a double bed with Mugabe.

Though Maggie did famously whisk him round the dance floor, when Mugabe was guest of honour at dinner she held in his honour in 1979.

Which to some would show an equal level of taste, with Li'l Willy Hague's insistence on sharing a bed with his little special advisor chum.

Mad Dog Gaddafi likes to display his medals, scrambled egg and silverware on his chest, just like all the other crackpot dictators such as Amin, Mugabe, Mubarak. I bet though, that none of 'em have got a HBC leaders medal.

OK..in no way am I comparing life the UK to Libya, North Africa or anywhere else in the world..I was talking
about Cameron sticking his oar in telling the Eygptian government they must listen to the people..Libya looks
like a different kettle o fish.... but I don't live in Africa!
When there is massive protest here not even 8 months into Camerons ill gained premiership he fobs it off .. maybe
I should have asked the question "when would you support massive protest"? should people wait for 40yrs as in
Libya ?..Cameron and his sidekicks would be better off listening to his own country men and women before he
sticks his head into other countries affairs... and before anyone starts harkin on about Blair the same would be
said for him.

PS.. I know of no such pub as the "Bermondsey Arms" and combat jackets maybe all the fashion in Accy but not in my neck of the woods

Told you.

They've forecast showers later.

There'll be none of your protests here.

I know ..It's a local Forum for local people..German Dave the scouse tory knows the in and outs of what is happening here.. and then we have the long gone Andrew as an advisor (I hope he ain't bed hopping).. I don't reckon Accy is a seething bed of protest ..unless the taxi men get the hump about Hollands pies not being fit to eat when facing Mecca..but it will be no surprise to me when we see the return of riots here in our own backyards ... a very sad return to Maggie's 80's.

The people in Egypt were at the time oppressed and did not have the benefit of democratic elections. Something we have.
To stick up for Dave and Nick at least we are to have a referendum this year about the voting system, as they promised.
I am still waiting for the Euro referendum promised by Tony and then Gordon........

Lets face it, they are all the dammed same
