There's certainly nothing in the constitution defining Trump as unfit. But, of course, you don't mean he's technically ineligible, you just mean you consider him to be unfit.

Under-polling of working-class disaffected whites, shy Trump voters and an over-reliance of the Democrats on the Hispanic vote and states like Wisconsin.

Why is everybody convinced that transparency with respect to the governments negotiating strategy is a good thing? It will weaken the British position horribly.

Or the march in general? It was a very broad march, as is usually the case with anything Anonymous. Some were there out of frustration, others because they are anarchists. 675

We all marched down the street--apparently with coppers at the front guiding us--and headed to some area I can't even remember the name of (first time in Central London (maybe near Westminster Cathedral)). They had "Failure to comply may result in arrest" beamed in green lettering on one of the buildings. Then we went to Buckingham Palace; couldn't even get close to it, they had metal fencing set up and riot police with dogs. I think they sort of freaked because the Palace was outside the 'designated route' for the protest; loads of police vans turn up, I see a couple people get arrested, there's chanting etc. Anyway there's this wall just across from the Palace with a gap leading into some grassy area, and we were both in front and behind the wall. So the coppers push their way through and set themselves up in a line in the gap in the wall, splitting us up. Some of us tried to break the police line, but more of them rushed over and pushed us away--I managed to fuck up my ankle when I was being shoved. Then I had a copper tell me I could be arrested if I didn't remove my mask. It kind of died off. They pushed us down the road, away from Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Sqaure. We heard we were supposed to regroup at Big Ben, but we checked it out and it was dead. Yeah, that was my day. EDIT: The police were expecting it to get ugly. They cracked down hard. 680

The police were on job. Set up cordons and lines of vans when we got to Buckingham Palace, and then started separating us and pushing us apart and trying to get us to move on for being outside the designated protest area. Had a copper tell me that if I continued wearing a Guy Fawkes mask I would be arrested, which I thought was pretty fucked up.
Take note, world, if you want to shut down a peaceful protest then look no further than the Met on Nov 5 2016. 682

Quote Can the libdems be saved from this nothing they've become?Personally I'm doubtful. The late 1990s to 2010 were characterised by a decline in the classic majoritarian system of government; the rise of third parties like the Liberal Democrats was a part of this. Since 2010, though, there's been kind of a return to the norm, with two-partism coming back in force across England and Wales. I wouldn't expect any coalitions any time soon. |
