I hope so.
But its the Tigers In Sri Lanka that are causing so much of suffering. My flat mate and landlord are from their and the news they give me is NOTHING compared to the water downed crap we get.
This has been going on for years but the MSM feel like reporting it because they have been told to, and even then they still cant do it right.

‘Gaza II’ unfolding in the East
By Wayne Madsen

(WMR) -- The current offensive by the Sri Lankan government against thr Tamil Tiger or Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebel movement has trapped tens of thousands of refugees in a coastal strip still held by the rebels.
Sri Lanka’s military has been accused by human rights organizations of using massive firepower against the guerrillas that is resulting in civilian casualties. The comparison between Israel’s brutal attack on the Gaza Strip and its killing of over 1,000 civilians and the wounding of many thousands of others and the Sri Lankan assault on a three-mile long coastal strip controlled by the Tamil Tigers have been made by a number of observers, including Australia’s Green-Left Online in a May 2 article by Sean O Floinn & Emma Clancy: “A largely defenseless people struggling to survive and hemmed in on a narrow strip of land, facing indiscriminate air strikes, assault from gun boats and cluster bombs by a well-equipped army, conjures up the image of the recent Israeli invasion of Palestine’s Gaza Strip.”
However, there is more to the comparisons between Israel’s attack on the Gaza Strip and Sri Lanka’s attack on the narrow strip of the Jaffna peninsula. In May 2000, a day after India refused to give Sri Lanka any military assistance in its war against the Tamil Tigers, Sri Lanka and Israel resumed diplomatic relations. Although the corporate media are focusing on Sri Lanka’s military assistance from China, little mention is being made of the island nation’s military links with Israel.
After the establishment of diplomatic ties between Jerusalem and Colombo, Israeli military technicians arrived to maintain Sri Lanka’s Israeli-made Kfir fighter-bombers and Russian MiG-27 aircraft and provided Sri Lanka with Dvora fast naval attack craft. Israeli arms and ammunition also began flooding into Sri Lanka.
Soon, Israeli military advisers and “consultants” were regular visitors to Colombo’s new Access Lanka Building, owned by relatives of Sri Lanka’s top military officers. Among Israel’s security exports to Sri Lanka was state-of-the-art electronic and imagery surveillance equipment. Israeli Air Force pilots reportedly flew Sri Lankan attack aircraft against Tamil Tiger targets on the Jaffna peninsula. Israeli military personnel were also reported to have taken part in Sri Lankan military attacks on Tamil units.
Due to Israel’s military assistance to Sri Lanka, Palestinians reportedly began aiding the Tamils in the 1980s. It is also believed that Israel’s Mossad recruited agents among Sri Lanka’s large contingent of foreign workers in the Persian Gulf Arab states. There were also reports that Israelis were also providing weapons and training to Tamil guerrillas in order to maintain a “market” for Israeli arms suppliers in the civil war-wracked island nation.

Yes, I've been reading some stuff about it recently - not sure how much os dsinfo tbh, or if they're the creation of tptb, like the Hammas...
But peaceful protestors here (even if misguided) are liable to be easy prey for the 'Riot Police Thugs', as they wend their merry way through the 'summer of rage'.

It seems that gone are the days when we might have read:
"Traffic in Westminster has been brought to a standstill as millions of British people stage a sit-in around the Houses of Parliament....." sigh
As I'm such a cynic, I suggest this is a hurriedly organized distraction from 'those' protecting the likes of the thieves and liars inside.
Imaginary ad:
"£500 cash in hand, no questions asked, tax free to turn up and wave signs (to be provided) for a day outside Westminster".
It reminds me of my cynical response to 777 -
Imaginary ad:
"wanted, 4 young men to help with a terrst exercise in central London. £5,000 cash in hand, tax free, no questions asked.....must be prepared to 'role play' terrsts......"
Or should I stick to writing Mills and Boon type romances lol!

Nope - they demonstrated outside parliament a cpl of months back, around the same time all the bank demo's were kicking off.
For some reason :rolleyes: the coppers mostly left them alone.

Sri Lanka formely know as Ceylon. Nice tea :)
Bad place for a T party. What do they (the protestors) expect those T's in Parliament to do to help? When their own T's in Government don't help.
Not enough T grown or it's not of much value these days to get involved maybe.

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-...s_Stage_Sit-InLast week representatives met Foreign Secretary David Miliband to urge him to do more to end the fighting.
The Tamil Tigers, a banned terrorist group in Britain, have been fighting for an independent homeland for the Tamil minority since the 1980s.
The organisation, also known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, claims to have suffered decades of marginalisation at the hands of the Sinhalese majority.
More than 70,000 people have died in fighting.

I am all for people protesting but this is a load of shit. They are protesting something which is happening in Sri Lanka yet they are in the UK. It pisses me off.
If Britain were involved then it would be different, but we are not so far as I know, so they should not be disrupting people in London.

MPs in the house of commons have just been discussing this and the whole house cheered when one MP asked the speaker of the house "martin" if it was time to bring in the water cannons.

you're an idiot mate.
it was the british goverment that created the whole mess in tamil by joining together 2 countries into one and letting the bigger one buttfuck the smaller one. its the same as palestine, the tamils have been victims of brutality and repression for decades. the tigers started off as a peaceful group but ended up fighting back. nobody else in the world cares about them.
they've been sat on parliment square every day scince the g20 protests. every day. nobody cares about them. rotten english bastards, washing their hands of them. fucking up another country and pretending they know nothing about it.

P Duffy, you have been long enough on this forum. You must have learned something, surely?
So, Palestine is not in East Sussex ...... we really shouldn't demonstrate in London about the Israeli massacre of children in Gaza? What's it got to do with us?
Vietnam wasn't in England way back in the sixties and there were no British troops involved so I guess I should not have been in Grosvenor Square in 1968 demonstrating outside the American Embassy disrupting traffic?
Interesting link about the Israelis helping out the Sri lankan government. At least we now know who not to support. Come on the Tigers!
This demo has been going on for weeks now in Parliament Square and the police are allowing it for some reason. Why haven't they been attacked by the riot police thugs?
They are being used for some nefarious purpose. Let's wait and see.

Thats right blame the British & the English AGAIN!
It is our fault they are killing each other.
Then find another language to spout your racist hatred of a country & people, which has been good enough to allow these protesters leave to stay, but also granted them the right to Moan about stuff.
You give a mouse a cookie, it wants a glass of milk.

you're an idiot too. blaming a countrys goverment is not the same as saying the people from a country are dicks too. i don't hate americans but i hate the american goverment. i don't hate the english (that'd just be weird) but i hate the english goverment. i don't hate isreali's but i hate the isreali goverment. etc etc.

I've just come back from Parliament Square. I went into the West End intending to go to one of those twee New Age lectures at St. James church in Piccadilly but a friend phoned me and said the police thugs were wading into the Tamils outside Parliament.
I thought, feck those New Age ninnys, I'll go and have a look at the demo and take some pictures.
I went down there and was disappointed that the crowd wasn't all that big.
I was told that the police had earlier battered a lot of people who were just having a peaceful demonstration. It had been very ugly. I hung around for a couple of hours and watched as more riot thugs arrived. They were obviously getting ready for a big push to get the Tamils out of the square tonight. A passing elderly couple told me there is going to be a big military service in the Abbey tomorrow for servicemen who have suffered the stress of war! I kid you not.
The people protesting were trying to stop a war and stop people being bombed by the Sri Lankan government and yet they themselves were about to be attacked and pushed out of the square. Madness.
It was getting colder and colder and nothing much was happening. I left at 8.50. Maybe the police thugs were waiting till dark before attacking.
I noticed that four protesters had got onto the roof of the Abbey and were shouting through a loud hailer.
I could see the police thugs were itching for a fight and the Tamils were quite an excitable bunch running all over the place.
Perhaps it all kicked off after I left. It's now 10.20 pm.

The British was it?
After what I have been reading it is for more likely that the Vatican are behind the NWO. In fact I know they are. So the British have been used just like the Muslims were used to take the blame for 911 and the Jews were used in WW2 and so it goes on. The centre of power is Rome with the Jesuits.
This page gives a good run down of it.

People can protest without sitting in the middle of the road. All that does is get the backs up of people who would other wise fully support the protest.
As I said I support the right to protest, it is just best done in a way that generates the most sympathy and support. I want the world to be a peaceful place like others on this forum.
I'll admit it was not one of my best comments.

what does it matter where i'm from? rotten english bastards is a perfectly viable statement, like if it was the irish who i thought were in the wrong i'd say rotten irish bastards, or if it was germans i'd say rotten german bastards. stop being so sensitive and picking up on unimportant details and making them, into a big discussion obscuring the point of the thread.
the british goverment after fucking up a country, hands it over to people they know will fuck it up more, and then sit back and watch said people fuck up said country while supplying said people with guns and bombs and not saying anything while said people are bastards to the ethic minorities from said country.
i've said said quite alot.
and protests have to disrupt people, cause the tamils have been in the corner being ignored by people walking past for weeks. you can't ignore them if they're in the road. the people ignore the sri lankan goverment bombing hosptials every fucking day.

Like I have pointed out to you the VATICAN JESUITS are behind these problems NOT the ENGLISH, IRISH OR SCOTS PEOPLE! Blame the correct people!
what does it matter where i'm from?
What does it matter where you are from? It gives people a perspective on why you may have certain opinions.
the british goverment after fucking up a country
The British Government is a private company owned by the Vatican it has nothing to do with the British people!
...while said people are bastards to the ethic minorities from said country. i've said said quite alot.
I assume you are referring to the ethnic minorities in the UK. Those are the ethnic minorities who are raping and murdering white people in the UK and it goes unreported in the Jesuit controlled press and from the Jesuit controlled government! Over 100 whites are racially murdered in the UK every year! Every ethnic group in the UK is suffering in one way or another because of the Jesuit coward scum!
I will further add that the Vatican Jesuits have USED British people to attack foreign countries for centuries and then the Jesuits have used their corrupt power to bring in immigrants to the UK from the countries exploited by the Jesuits KNOWING DAMN well that these immigrants hate the British people!!! They have been doing this for the past 50 years with the intention of changing life for people in the UK for the worse and it has worked a treat for the Jesuit scum.
The Jesuits have used the USA and Britain to do THEIR dirty work 'cause they are to shit scared to openly do it through the Vatican State. They have used the Jews and the Germans and are using the Muslums to take the blame for Jesuit terrorism like 911, 7/7 London bombing, Madrid and Bali.
