Louise Mensch on Occupy London - LSX (HIGNFY)

(see also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qZGSn... Jeremy Hardy on Louise Mensch on Occupy LSX)

Tory MP Louise Mensch trots out a particularly lame criticism of the Occupy LSX protestors, based on their buying coffee from Starbucks, cos they're supposedly 'anti-capitalist' but Starbucks is, like, a big company. A variant of the "why don't you f*** off to Russia then" gambit.

Louise Mensch - she's not the annoying political Hermione that Britain needs, she's the annoying political Hermione that Britain deserves.

Most of them are typical liberal idiots. Wealthy liberal idiots. Spouting hatred no doubt for America and Israel while appeasing evil regimes like Iran.

[Robbie Wallace]

The protesters are just a bunch of airheads.

left wing, right wing, it doesn't really matter. There is only right and wrong; freedom and tyranny. Once we look at it in these terms, we begin to understand that both groups are culpable and as a matter of fact, most so-called conservatives are afflicted with Marxian views like advocating centrally planned banking cartels. No candidate gets elected without financial bribery, which is stolen from other citizens., and the citizens expect nothing less. And this is democracy.

Exactly Alan... there are no cafes in the area except the chains.. In the evening there is nowhere else open... and being that it gets freezing cold.. Apart from on principle, people can't afford the rip off prices, even if they're desperate for a tea and to keep warm. Was at Occupy a lot and actually you rarely saw anyone from the camp go in Starsucks... . They brought their own camping stove and cups.
