You know what, it does amaze me when we experience civil unrest like we did last Saturday over the Government's deficit reduction programme, how many people will cheer from the rooftops about armed intervention on another continent that killes tens of thousands of innocent civilians and wholeheartedly cheer on sending armed forces and even arms to support uprisings in some countries, even if it is blatantly daft [in Libya, the opposition is riddled with al'qeda supporters so if we arm them we will be given weapons to bin Laden....rather ironic isn't it], yet some civil disobedience in an exclusive shopping district of London has them up in arms about 'hooligans' and 'criminal damage' and 'we should be getting out the water cannon.'
Is it perhaps, because it is too scarily close to home and is disturbing viewing whilst having ones tea and crumpets?
Even Cameron is making a bit of an ass of himself over it, his usual acute politiking deserting him as he becomes clearly overwhelmed by the glamour of the international stage. He says repeatedly that civil protest must be allowed and supported in foreign countries- particularly the ME- and yet presides over a proto-police state in the UK with an establishment and it's lackey police force that wants to do everything in its power to stamp out any form of civil protest in our country. Interesting- but increasingly scary- times in Old Blighty.
