The right to expensive speech!

[electric discordian]

Anyone who has seen the news in the UK knows about the events in Manchester on the weekend. The Tax payer by which I mean the poor sods around Manchester have to pay nearly a million pounds to get the city back to normal.

So the English defence league has cost us a higher council tax bill, the anti facist's caused as much damage as the EDL however so lets consider that.

Next time people want the right to protest lets hope they exercise it in Slough lets face it no one would notice if that town was torn apart! But in all seriousness, if people know that the thing is going to be violent should it be banned for the greater good?

A million pounds to get Manchester back to its normal state?
I didn't know it cost that much to build in the first place.

Manchester must get trashed alot, although this time before the riot they didn't get alot of money from Rangers fans buying all that beer

What happened?

Why is it that people protesting now have to have people protesting against them?
Okay, so I don't agree with the views of the BNP or the EDL, but then that's why every man, woman and hybrids of the previous has a DEMOCRATIC VOTE.
If you don't agree with them, then you don't vote for them. Simple.

Also violence at protests is essentially encouraged nowadays, if you act too peacefully then the police come and beat you up, if you act violently then you're breaking the law.
