Mark Thomas - London Protest 24th Feb 2007

[SuperTruth77]

I have a friend who used to go to these events, but stopped in disgust. She said the vast majority of the guys there couldn’t care less about Iraq, but were just out to have sex with as many naïve middle-class girls as possible after filling their heads with fake tales of eco-warrior campaigning around the globe.

They were effectively all as bad as John Worboys, though not technically as it was all consensual. Not that the Police cared what went on at these events in any case…

[dragoonthelad]

While I don't entirely agree with Mark Thomas, I can understand him wanting British troops out of Iraq. It's not like terrorists attacked their WTC or anything.

I just wish they wouldn't rip on the U.S. for sending our own troops in. You'd be surprised how many of us are more than happy with our boys being over there.

As for not wanting to be involved in someone else's battle, totally your choice, Britain.

[neoconhitman]

@dragoonthelad don't forget that Iraq had nothing to do with the attack on the Twin Towers. I'm not sure why terrorists attacking the WTC justifies the illegal invasion of Iraq? That is why the majority of the British public disapproved of the Iraq war. Trouble is we've got a government that most people didn't vote for ... yet this is meant to be a democracy!

[dragoonthelad]

@neoconhitman Iraq didn't have anything to do with the WTC, true, but the growing list of offenses they had stacking and stacking were needing immediate action. What did we do? Sanction them? It obviously wasn't working out.

[neoconhitman]

@dragoonthelad if violating UN resolutions is really that important then there is at least one country I could name that has violated more UN resolutions than Iraq could dream off. Basically the US invaded Iraq to control the region and its resources. WMDs and UN Resolutions were just the excuse. Iraq was complying in most cases. The invasion was illegal because their was no UN resolution authorising military action. Regime change is illegal so they had to go with the WMD lies and faked docs.

[toptrichs]

@dragoonthelad are you mental???"young boys" heros"call it what you like ,,,they dont go in the hope too help ,,war kills peolpe ,,end of! thats all thwe way from belfast ,,,,which i admit isnt even close too palistine conflict,,,when an occupier invades your land ,,you defend that land,,dont you??did you think the iraqi peeps wd just say" oh,,go ahead,,its no problem,,sure we,ll let you rape our land",, british troops done it on my people,,did you think we wda just let them invade us?

[barrykaide]

Marky boy showing his true colours then! A bit harsh on Blair though, Iraq was like risk reduction, there COULD have been WMD there, even if one life might have been saved it was worth it...easy to say they weren't there! What id they WERE though, eh? Then what?

[neoconhitman]

It's easy to say they weren't there because they weren't. You could be a murderer so best if we lock you up just in case.

Killing thousands of civilians and your own troops is never going to be worth it to save 1 life.

>> Then what?

Then what? There were no WMDs and the war was based on lies. Can we please stick to reality and not attempt to justify an illegal invasion based on lies and fabricated reports by making up "what if"s.

Its really simple. The war was based in lies.

[MrCliptester]

Then we would have know coz it would have been a british or american goverment that sold em in the first place

[jjccccc]

why isnt he prime minister

[darrencred]

he talks so much sense, and a bloody good comedian.

[regvarney]

In answer to your points.1)I never listened to what the posh boy said on your silly little video.I"ve heard it all before from him.He has nothing new to say.2)I can"t say I had an expensive education like you and Tarquin Thomas but I"ve done ok.3) As for my lack of perfomance in life what do you know?If you earned as much as me you wouldn"t look on posers like Thomas as some sort of genius.Life has been good to me .Can you say the same?

[regvarney]

MarkThomas-A middle class public school wanker.

[neoconhitman]

Glad to see you are unable to use any logic to disagree with what he said.

Seems you've got a chip on your shoulder about anyone who's better educated than you are. You can pretend you've been hard done by but the reality is you just can't form an intelligent counter argument.

It's probably easier to blame "public schools" on your own lack of performance in life. Keep believing it if it makes it easier. We understand.

[FIZZYYAM]

Since when has protesting to stop murder and babies being killed made you a liberal "ukchris64" Twat ! And all you pussies who "thumbed" him.... wake up!

[ogfunk187]

They should have done this outside the houses of parliament where its 'illegal' to protest.

[mixmatosis]

Nice one Mark.

[Prunesqualer]

Nick Clegg in charg of the third party? please someone show me some hope?

[alanhudsonesq]

He's very good isn't he, and I nearly fully agree with him. Whom shall we vote for then, the answer is not there - is it? As long as Blair / Brown or Cameron rule the roost, this country will just get worse and worse. Mark Thomas has all the rhetoric and good arguments, but it's answers that we need and a good person in charge - not just talk!

[ukchris64]

I am not a liberal by any means, but by god this man really gets the excitement up, way to go Mark.

[mattcast44]

Let this man's excitement turn you into a leftie. Go on vote for Obama or Clinton or Obama or Clinton or Obama or Obama or Obama (etc)

[neoconhitman]

Clinton. Working under imaginary sniper fire. What a woman :-)

[TheOneNo20]

Bloody hell that made me laugh when I read that in the papers - 'oh yes & I also invented Cornflakes' LMAO :D

[spoon2236039]

What a guy!

[grnlfe01]

He's on fire, way to go Mark

[01Khai]

Top bloke!

Always tackling the issues, fighting for what's right!

[Zest85uk]

Those words will echo in the waves for a long time... Blair will not forget his treason... Brilliant speech!

[bradjointtheory]

Mark Thomas for prime minister

[chunder123]

the only weapon of mass destruction that exist are the ones our governments own and use

[stefanboro]

I just don't understamd why he doesn't have a youtube account himself.

[M245475SH]

Nothing else to add. Tremendous.

[saintrambone]

The war never ends, the regime is torturing honest American citizens, forced injections, forced medical procedures, harassment at our homes for asking for open government participation...Collusion and Technology left our enemy in control...saintrambone videos have some proof, Mobile Audit Club has links for proof

[bengali00001]

this guy is gangsta he did 21 protests in 5 hours and 15 minutes

[Ve4Vendetta]

Why (as far as I am aware) did this NOT appear in any national news report/TV station? Watch yourself Mark your Comical Weapons attacks are utterly lethal -

[FuckGooTube]

Fuckin is right Marko Bhoy!!!

[carl0071]

[piran75]

[thedimgoddess]

I bless the day he was born. If everyone who feels anything about this stuff can just do a little bit about it, the world will change. It will happen.

[Chomskyno1]
