Ruination! Ruination!

You know, there is always a ying for every yang. Many people allude to this truth when they say things like ”well, that backfired on us didn’t it?” and ”I didn’t see that coming”. And so it is with the government’s ban on unauthorised demonstrations outside Toad Hall.

You see the thing about spontaneous protests is that even the protesters don’t really know exactly when they will happen. They are spontaneous. A few friends get together socially, talk about this and that and inexorably the conversation turns to politics. Sporadically this can lead to a spontaneous decision to march on the capital of despotism in the UK to make ones feelings known.

The ruination of the government scheme lies in the common man recognising that this act of spontaneity is their right and, therefore, to deliberately and regularly apply for permission under the toadish scheme to practice these rights.

How many applications do you think it will take before the scheme is laughed out of the offices of ACPO as ”a drain on resources that we could otherwise be using to maintain the level of equality between the rights of criminals and their victims in modern Britain”?

Come on then bloggers, join the we regularly want to demonstrate outside Parliament for one thing or another application campaign. Get those forms off as soon as they leave the press and who’s to say, sometimes we may even turn up at the designated time and place.

Up and at ‘em.
