All you war protestors are traitors

busholini | 24.03.2003 16:56

All you protestors are traitors!!

'you're traitors' is what some people coming out of pubs shouted at us at the Newcastle Anti-War demo this saturday,
One of them waved a picture of the Daily Star at me, firstly i'd like to point out when all the iraqi people were dying under Saddam Hussein this particular right wing newspaper reported predominantly on some celebrities arse.
Now it decides, hey war, it sells papers, lets talk a load of crap.

Tony Blair used the typical propaganda tactic, i have to admit he's a genius. When all else fails and we're blocking the country(roads etc) and no-one agrees with you what do you do?Ah yes, the nationalist card, or the Queen of Hearts as George War Bush might call it.
Yes there we have it, since i'm against the war in the first place(which means obviously the troops would not even be there) i'm now apparently a traitor and jumping up and down when i hear of British casualties.
Yes lads such is 'the price of leadership' that Tony will sink to any level possible to stop our protests, discouraging us to rally and make our voices heard and basically say 'if you don't support me, sorry i mean the troops, then you're obviously pro-saddam hussein.

I'm really sick of the crap, and i'm really frightened to think that the entire world is now daily being brainwashed by this TV War, which won't show you any truth.

The protests have been crap for one reason, we've been to soft. The cops actually blocked us from walking down the highstreet on a Saturday, anyone at the demo could hardly call us 'enemies of the state'.

But the ignorance will carry on, i found this on the BBC, i think its sums up the pathetic, brainwashed Americans and pro-bush argument, quoted from 'have your say' section of the site;

"I support the war 100%. Sadly there have been American and British casualties but they died protecting freedom. Saddam has no respect for human life and did not obey coalition commands and he will now pay the price. God bless all Americans, Brits, and the Aussies fighting in Operation Iraqi Freedom. "

iraqi freedom?????can you believe these people, we might aswell eat american newspapers for our cereals at breakfast.

What the hell can we do to reverse there stupid opinionless brains which actually think that what they say is their opinion?

Should we carry on the protest and risk getting beat up by idiots? of course we should because i'd rather get arrested in the knowledge that i tried to do something than cheering the horror that is WAR.

shame on America, shame on Britain, shame on all countires supporting this war to destruction, especially the yankees.
