Love the mugshot of Camilla LOL.
If Diana was alive and it was her in that car then I would have been disgusted with the act on the car. Seeing as it was Camilla, just LOL.

Ahhh, it's good for the elite to join our world from time to time, regardess of if he's complaining that he was put in a position where one sh*t oneself.
Have to say though, who thought driving a rolls royce down next to protestors, with the elite sitting in it, when students are protesting against being told they will have to pay 3x what they do now?
I know, let's drive the royals rolls royce with two nonces inside it through it all. Thats a good idea. Charles, why not gurn and wave at the peasants.
Could blame wikileaks somehow, I'm sure.0 -
It's not right for people to shout threats or hit anyone else, I hope they are caught and go to jail.
Doesn't mean the peaceful majority of students at these protest are wrong.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

The violence is most definately wrong, and they really shot themselves in the foot attacking the royals.
However, like one student said (nothing to do with the protests)....it probably cost one students entire fee's for a year to get these 2 people to their venue.
Gotta say, it's a good point.
It's a bizzare situation when you think about it. The uber elite, meeting the people who will pay for their lives, at categorically the wrong time.
When you put the image of the students being held on Westminster bridge like a herd of cattle, and Charles and Camilla waving and gurning out of their rolls, completely and utterly oblivious as to how utterly innopropriate it is at the time, it really does make you sit back and think about the stark contrasts people find themselves in.
Most stupid thing is, were increasing student fees due to lack of money, so "some" go out of their way to create damage which will cost us all hundreds of thousands of pounds. That'll help the future budgets.0 -

Am I missing something here? This thread is about wikileaks and the 4chan attacks (which are the attacks I was referring to), not the student riots which are a different thread from what I can see. I think some of you folks have got your threads mixed up? :huh:0

It really doesn't matter what you believe or don't believe: Anarchism is a particular philosophy, and Wikileaks quite explicitly doesn't hold to that philosophy. you might as well call Wikileaks chartists or rastafarians.
Civil disobedience or criminal aims or methods don't as such make a group an Anarchist group, they have to hold to the philosophies of Anarchism.
You can believe that Wikileaks is a criminal organisation, or that what it is doing is illegal or immoral, and there is a case to answer for all these beliefs (I am not saying I agree with them or disagree with them).
But there really is no case to say they are Anarchists.
As my original post was intended to be light-hearted, I don't really want to get into too deep a discussion on etymology (particularly on a house price forum).
My use of the word "anarchist" to describe an organisation that I consider to have a particular agenda has the same level of validity as using "nazi" to describe a group with a far-right agenda.
However, if it makes you happy, I will accept that this is a lazy use of language.0 -
I have donated to Wikileaks via paypal in the past. I honestly believe in freedom of information and the internet is the one place that governments don't yet totally control.
I am the least anarchic person on the planet.
To label protesters, either on the streets or online as anarchists is ridiculous.
If someone throws a few eggs at a pair of self confessed adulterers or slows down my online shopping my world doesn't come to an end.
Censor the web or make a university education unavailable to any other than the priveleged few it just might........Retail is the only therapy that works0
