Hi!
I've lurked here for a while and always thought this place to be fun, but this thread has changed my mind.
I am one of the protesters who have been (until today) camped out at the eco camp at Stirling, and have taken part in most of the peaceful protests that have happened in the last week.
I am not a hippie, or a nutter or a "right royal idiot"!! I am someone who cares passionatly about what is going on in the rest of the world, not just how I am going to be affected!! So your journey home will be slightly more differcult, boo hoo!! One week of disruption and everyone is up in arms!
I always had a postive attitude towards the police and the media but what I have seen in the last week has made me question everything I thought I knew. You label us without knowing us and the issues we stand for all because your day is slightly longer, shame on you!
The protesters are standing up in a non violent (dispite what the media would like) and making their voices heard, can you say the same shouting from behind a computer screen??
