DublinMagyar Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I see that Frankie Boyle has chucked in his twopence worth on road closures. It led me to a thought experiment.... what WOULD happen if an "Orange Walk" met a human road block of climate change protestors?

We've got a disjointed public transport system with the subway running on a schedule out the middle ages until these c***s come to town and suddenly they get the golden ticket. This shit hasn't even started yet and I'm already raging. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus all delegates getting free Scotland-wide travel smart cards for all transportation while we, the home nation, are still waiting for the promised Saltire Card Sturgeon promised in 2012. She would not lie or mislead us would she? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly the technology for the Saltire Card does exist otherwise they wouldn't be able to dish it out to thousands of folk in a fortnights time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 5 hours ago, Salt n Vinegar said: I confess to a little unease for the wellbeing of the climate change protestors if they take it upon themselves to block any of the few city centre roads that are to remain open. "if the stupit basturt didny want half his face ripped aff, he shouldny hae glued it tae the road in front o ma bus when ah'm trying tae get tae the bingo". I think it's more likely that it'll be some genteel middle class type taking little Oliver to Jordanhill that attempts to ram protestors with their Range Rover than the 77 presumably packed with thicko proles in your analogy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Sturgeon doing a nice Potemkin village style fake out here with public transport and licensing laws.

I have no time for either monarchies or religions, but at least when "the Pope" (there's more than one) passes away, there's a vote by an admittedly small electorate about who the replacement will be. Our head of state is already determined (barring accidents or an outbreak of democratic sanity) for at least the next three generations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he’s been specially bred from magic blood to be our glorious, God-given sovereign. Are you telling me you can’t see the fruits of that?! Also also, if this fine specimen isn’t performing daily OnlyFans routines on the balcony of Buck House, why else would tourists come to England? To swim in its turd-choked waters? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I don't know why they all couldn't have done this on Teams or whatever instead of having a hot air CO2 causing jamboree. As they have been spouting flatulent pish since the late 80s and done very little I can't help thinking we're all doomed anyway. If you're a polluting billionaire/politician you'll have your global warming proofed bunker in the Yukon or Siberia all ready for you and the rest of us can battle the giant cockroaches on our own "We could have saved the planet but we were just too damned cheap"- Vonnegut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
