That famous CND march in Oct 1983 started there. I was on that believe it or not.

So was I, but on the "official" side. Didn't realise we might have met so long ago!

I was young and impressionable. I do recall loads of people at the front, by the stage in Hyde Park, with Black Flags. They started trouble and the old bill "intervened".

You start with sarcasm.

I don't want to shut them down. And you are right, protestors aren't always violent. Totally agree. I have been one.

My argument initially, which isn't self-evident, was that everyone should relax as we don't know that these bye laws will be maintained after the Olympics. Others were being alarmist and concerned that they would be and I haven't been prejudicial.

To finish you summise I CLEARLY have no idea about something. When I do. I'm simply not as bothered about it as others. If it is kept, then protest.

I'm the one that's meant to be paranoid.

I usually finish with it, too.



I've given you a good reason for being concerned. Two, actually. If you are still unconcerned you must have opinions on why they aren't valid.



So, you are not "bothered" about the difficulties of overturning legislation once it has been authorised? You seem to have a remarkably blasé attitude. Although my guess is that if you really aren't bothered you wouldn't have posted in the first place. This kind of reminds me of the thousands of people who used to ring up "Yes", "No", "Don't Care" CEEFAX polls and choose the latter ...



It's your inability to make sense that's bothering me - not your paranoia.

See how you've twisted, me not being as bothered as others, to you are "not" bothered. As you admit, you GUESS.

The reasons you have given are based purely on your view and opinion. Mine is more laid back.

Again, I'm accused of paranoia. Yet what has happened? Nothing so far. Let's wait until after the Olympics. Then as I've said, I support you.

Anyway, I've PMd you, could you read it please. It's still in my outbox. It'll all make perfect sense.
