Idiots.

The trouble is, it would be fine if it were just them affected by their idiocy but 15k people can spread the virus far and wide if there a few infected ringers in the group

Yep the virus is like NLyUK it doesn't care about your political opinions it just wants someone to infect!

30 years ago I lived on Arran when David Icke said it was going to be consumed by an earthquake. Now I help run advertising campaigns for finance brands that get plagued by his followers complaining that fiat currencies are imaginary constructs.

Why does every one of their protests have David Icke and Piers Corbyn? They are known nutters.

I think we insulate ourselves from the total stupidity that is out there.

It was probably just a short layover on their way to tax haven, Monaco.

There weren't 15000 when I walked through there about 4.30pm. No more than a few hundred, at best. And they weren't in the Square itself, they were in one of the side streets, almost outnumbered by Police.

I would be very curious to learn more about those people. Takes guts to show that kind of conviction in your beliefs.
Do they have a job that requires thinking? How do they get by every day being so ignorant and at the same time so convinced.

Never understood the idea of a protest, did it once while in uni, one of the political parties was trying to make a case about the other party doing something to students.Not in Uk, it was irrelevant to us also. Anyway, we got the equivalent of 2 nights drinking in cash and we went as a group so it was fun.
Half way through the protest, we, group of all males from an engineering university, all captivated by the grace of the TV reporter that supposedly was about to interview us. Then our pre-defined slogans suddenly changed to "the girl from (name of tv station) show us your boobies". It rimes in that language. I guess we were a waste of money and I was a hoe back then as well... but I digress

Anyway, it takes conviction to commute to city centre and spend quite a few hours of your day for a cause, they had to be pretty motivated by it.
Wish I had that...
