Been busy today.... Protesting!

edited September 2013 in Chit chat
Today I went to Amsterdam to protest against the government.

Here I am when someone took a photo of the political leader of the dutch socialist party. I was just beside him ( we arrived together and the moment he was recognized he became public domain).

    Is that you in the red jacket?

    The sign just needs an "rd" added to it...

    Assuming you were protesting him/his points of view/whatever related to him ... ah, whatever! (Oh, wait, you were there with him as a friend/co-worker, or you arrived there at the same time?)

    EDIT:
    Oh, noes! I can't believe people actually showed up with those annoying, long, blaring devices. What ever happened to throngs of people chanting out their grievances via witty and people-unifying sloganeering???

    @ZnorXman:

    Current Dutch government has more or less lost support from the majority of the population, they're 'riding out their term' and pushing through one unpopular measure after another (as far as they can, that is). Granted, economic times are tough and painful cuts are needed, but as so often it's mostly people who already have it difficult (chronically ill people, 65+ who worked hard for their pension and have no option to take their money elsewhere @ this point, etc), that are taken to the cleaners.

    Politician in the pic is Emile Roemer from the SP, which currently is the largest opposition party. So even if you're not voting for him, as a Dutch citizen that is one politician you *can* be seen with... :D

    I am indeed since a few weeks member of the party, but that is because my previous function couldn't combine with (local) politics.

    Biggest problem in the Netherlands is that according to opinion polls the largest party at the moment would be the far-right PVV. And yes, that scares me. I haven't got a clue what the next government could and should be. Anything with the PVV in it has already proved to be a total disaster.

    ?800k on them idiots. protests in London also cost a lot also, by folk who normally aren't paying in anyway.. they should foot the bill for it as well. I get tired of hearing "we have no money" , but it's p****d away on that lot. Half of them are only doing it as they got priced out of doing it on the football terraces.

    dr beep, did you get any nice cakes from the coffee shop ? . I did find holland an interesting country, hopefully I will go back again next year.

    Say, what's that movie poster for in the background? Looks like Michael Jackson or some sort of a Sci Fi.

    BTW No, I don't recall this particular episode so I con't remember if the poster is real or just made up for the show.

    it was a film for the show they were supposed to condemn

    the film poster is probably made up.. they did the IT crowd also , and that contained a lot of hidden stuff in the background.. speaking of which the very last one every is next week :(

    I thought that also... but don't give him any publicity..

    an ex of mine lived near their hq in welling, I found it ironic she knew due to the sort griffen and his "pals" wanted to kick out, even though she was born here.

    I was hoping more Dr Beep would say "oh thats my wife or daughter etc" :lol: and see what the reaction was... a friend did that about someone pretty.. and the other friend said YES that's my 18 year old niece (as his older sister is a lot older)

    Wow! A politician who uses public transport? That would *never* happen in Britain, unless it was a publicity stunt.

    I wish our politicians were forced to use only public transport, though, as they'd soon improve it then. I also wish the politician's were only allowed to use NHS healthcare, were subject to the same laws as us, and had to answer properly for their actions, so I'm obviously living on a different planet...
