...and what link does it have to the olympics, this hasn't just happened so why try and ruin the Olympics?

roob

Well this is late skinny, did you just wake up from a a two-week hangover?

It's not about ruining the Olympics so much, more about legitimate hijacking of the farcical 'peace' flame relay, the only way to get some media coverage to let people know what this free Tibet crap is all about...and let pms know that we're not all dozing off to their silent diplomacy.

Yes, you guessed it, I was in the front line 'scuffling' with police.

Can i direct you towards this minor thread

Hi, i'm back

Now i think you are trying to provoke me? Don't forget that these are words on a screen moderated by a person, regardless of the rules that are layed down they are interpretated by the single person moderating at the time.

the answer to your question of coming out of a couple of weeks pissed is not far off the mark...for reasons i will not go in to, other than i can (wether it be right or wrong) so ha!

Why havent you and all your mates been protesting before now?

What took you and all your mates so long?

Do you and your mates agree with the threat of kidnaping athletes at the Oliimpics?

roob

Chill pill. Has all that holiday booze made you all aggressive? Yes I know you're just back from holiday, hence my leading and affectionate opening. I was providing a brief reply to your provocative question, I wasn't looking for a fight, are you? That'd be sad, as there's only two of us here and I don't think more of the senseless bickering that goes down here is going to attract any potential new members.

All my mates.....? Please don't jump to conclusions, I don't hang out with a bunch of blokes in the pub planning to hijack any old gathering as long as we get to antagonise a few coppers. I've travelled through China and Tibet, chatted with people with my limited mandarin. I've been a campaigner for many years for several causes I believe in, put in many hours work, voluntary and paid, back at the office and out on the street. My protest is mostly peaceful, but I do get up front and risk the usual police manhandling. Btw, I was accompanied by a Chinese friend on the relay.

.....

If you really want to know more, go to freetibet.org, click on 'events' and go along to your local peace vigil. You'll meet lots of very sweet and passionate people and you'll make a few new mates.

I know it has been going on for years Skinny lad, I have been campaigning for a free Tibet ever since the time at school, when I first became aware of the situation. Back in the year dot.
The world has turned a blind eye for decades, suddenly we have a very small window of opportunity to be heard. we aren't going to miss it. The Olympics has been all about politics for many years a sad fact but true.
But with China in the spotlight showing how wonderful it is we are not missing the chance.
Nice to see you by the way.
