Anyone just see Rupert Murdoch just get attacked?!

[King Kong]

This ****s been boring as hell, there has been no "grilling" everyone who has been on today especially the Murdoch's have just been saying they "don't know" to most of the questions or "that's not my job" or passing the blame to someone else. It's a complete embarrassment and waste of time.

If there was any justice left in England, that parasitic Australian maniac would have already been hung, drawn and quartered.

Take it you're not a fan of David Gilmour's son then?

I think it's hilarious how he got 16 months for his role in the student protests.

Here's my issue with protesters en masse: Basically you have two types of protester in any large scale demonstration.

You have the person who cares passionately about the issue, has done their research, has written to their MP, prints a newsletter, gathers signatures, petitions local parents, runs a website. Then you have the other 95% of the crowd who spend the whole time wearing jester hats, smoking weed and talking about how "the man" is keeping them down, even though "the man" is actually their dad and is paying for them to go to university.

Yes, because nothing says "justice" like barbaric medieval death-by-torture execution practices for crimes that amount to fraud.

Can you provide me information on the effectiveness of these practices? Not a challenge, a request.

Whilst your point is valid, the same thing can be said about the marching protests. The masses of protesters in London didn't acheive anything either apart from making the youth of England look like classless brats who didn't deserve cheaper Uni fees.

Though half those people in the protests wern't even students, just people there looking to cause some destruction for the sake of it but that's always going to happen with protests of that size.

These practices are the very foundation of functional democracy. The idea of the parliamentary system is that you can contact your elected representative who can then bring your concerns to parliament.

If you can bring a large scale campaign of letters to bear against parliament then the people elected to enact the will of the people realize that the will of the people points in a certain direction. It's far more effective to influence directly the people who are elected to represent you than it is to gather in an essentially arbitrary place with a few thousand banners bearing the logo of your local organisation of professional malcontents*. It's also less expensive. Taxpayer money does not go towards policing petitions.

*Examples include the Socialist Worker Party in the UK (there's no such thing as a socialist worker!) or in Canada there's OCAP.

He may be a c*nt but the guy is 80 years old ffs. You wouldn't go out and throw pie's at pensioners would you? You would get the **** kicked out of you and rightly so. Hopefully that guy got a good kicking when he got outside.
