Commons Invaded

[Farrowlesparrow]

I wonder why no one else mentioned this before.

Its quite scary to think that these people were able to get in so easily. Obviously, the commons is for the public but considering the nature of these people, their ease of entry is pretty crazy.

It sounds like they found a hole in security and just walked right thru. Someone will be answering a lot of question tonight and I don't mean the folks who broke the law.

 

[DoctorGordon]

LOL Thats great

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

The answer: Tasers.


Simple.

 

[Sprafa]

Many people are saying it was an inside job, because they knew the plant of the building.

 

[The Mullinator]

heh, well they didn't get their wish anyway, the ban remained in place.

 

[lePobz]

I dare say that any people looking like muslims would not be able to get anywhere near that place - not being racist but that's how a terrorist threat is judged these days

 

[<RJMC>]

I saw that in the news
but for what was exactly that?

 

[Feath]

The thing I liked was the guy with the tights and the sword trying stop them. Ha.

Hurray for Tradition.

 

[Feath]

I meant to say "hooray" or "hurrah".

 

[craig]

I meant to say "hooray" or "hurrah".

But you merged the two and came up with an 'uber' celebratory word (even though it already exists).

I think the intruders should have been shot on sight. That would have taught them a lesson.

Hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people know the layout of the House of Commons, as it is open to the public.

rjmc, they were protesting because the government is going to ban fox hunting with dogs, thats what they were debating at the time

an even worse incident, which beggars belief happened a few months ago i'm sure u probably heard. just after installing a £600,000 bullet proof screen to protect the MPs, a fathers 4 justice protester threw purple flour bombs at tony himself while he was standing speaking in the commons

Sky News sucks.

No they don't, the commons hasn't been invaded since Charles I walked in to make arrests. The public have no access to the private chambers behind the Speaker's Chair.

 

[Pi Mu Rho]

That's very interesting, because when I toured the Commons around 10 years ago, I entered from behind the speaker's chair.

The answer: Tasers.
Simple.

But then there's always the problem of people with dicky hearts - in fact, can't it severely damage people who have healthy hearts too?

Pi Mu Rho - I think you may be right. I think I did the same, as it goes... Years and years ago.
It's a tad disturbing looking at the picture at the start of the article - look how few MPs appear to be there. (Taking into account that the people in the middle appear to be the demonstrators) We sure do have the finest examples of politicians the world has to offer don't we?

I think for their punishment we should strip them naked, and chase them around moors on horseback with packs of angry dogs. See how their opinion of hunting changes then :hmph:

i would love to see that happen

u guys may think this is insensitive, and it is really, i just found it funny in a black comedy type of way. a 13 year old kid got shot dead while out hunting the other day, by his stepfather. when i saw that i really hoped some hunters would think twice about hunting

 

[CptStern]

I'm just happy it's a pro-hunting/ant-animal group that causes all the ruckus, we animal rights peeps have gotten a bad name, nice to see the tables turned for a change




IMHO they should stripped naked covered in fox poo and let loose in the country side ...that way there'd still be something to hunt

"RELEASE THE HOUNDS!"

Well thats even more interesting, because I was under the impression that such areas were out of bounds....

 

[Venmoch]

Well I'm for this ban.

Why? Because you don't do anything constructive with the fox. Why hunt it if your not going to eat it or something?

 

[Farrowlesparrow]

Are you suggesting he lied?

Its a public building.

It's ironic, but I wouldn't call it funny...

Back to the subject of replacing the foxes, but in keeping with the dark humour; did anyone ever see the Friday Night Armistice? It was a satire show on BBC2 ages back and they suggested that we solve the problem of fox hunting and paedophilia in one fell swoop; Nonce Hunting!
They had this funny little clip of this guy running along moors being chased by people on horseback and dogs with a voice-over that described their plans and ended with something like:
"...then they get chased back to their little underground burrows where the packs of hounds tear the twisted perverts to shreds."
'twas a funny program.
