None of us have. All these blogs are really doing is giving each of us a chance to vent our anger and hopefully educate a few more people. We aren't going to start a revolution, and nor do we have the following to do so. There are too mahy bloggers that are starting to believe their own hype, and OH is one of them unfortunately. I respect what he's done, and I don't mean to denigrate his blog has achieved but let's be completely honest, all we're doing is spitting against the wind. In terms of the population of this country our readerships are infinitesmal, and I would dare say if you randomly stopped anyone in the street and asked them who Guido Fawkes or Iain Dale was, they wouldn't have a clue.<br /><br />This whole blogging malarkey is completely insular aside from the occasional episodes when it breaks into the mainstream. It DOES NOT register with the general public. hat part of that do you not understand?<br /><br />All we can hope to do is put the information out there and hope the occasional person picks up on it. Otherwise, we're all just preaching to the converted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-39887948536466376842009-07-08T23:56:45.498+01:002009-07-08T23:56:45.498+01:00Entirely conceivable that they would at least atte...Entirely conceivable that they would at least attempt this.<br /><br />Mass protests needed should this come to pass.<br /><br />CUNTS<br /><br />OH has the nous, guts and readership to arrange this. <br /><br />OH, go for it.Faustyhttp://faustiesblog.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-13685005192479182142009-07-08T21:30:36.227+01:002009-07-08T21:30:36.227+01:00Still that Civil Contingencies Bill sitting in the...Still that Civil Contingencies Bill sitting in the background there though....Lord Elvis of Paisleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904878548420345148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-6460696076845320302009-07-08T21:20:03.191+01:002009-07-08T21:20:03.191+01:00I don't believe it will happen but I believe &...I don't believe it will happen but I believe "they" have thought about it, reluctantly concluding it wouldn't work.<br /><br />1. Her Majesty would probably dissolve Parliament at the end of the term anyway rather than allowing such a sticky situation, using prerogative power in a manner consistent with constitutional precedent.<br /><br />2. Failing that, a large part of Parliament (both houses) may well walk away and refuse to sit. PLenty wouldn't though!<br /><br />3. Failing that, large chunks of the apparatus of government would fall away - civil servants, police officers, Armed Forces chiefs of staff. <br /><br />4. Failing that, a general uprising and Orange Revolution style protests would bring the government down. Mass strikes, refusal to pay taxes, demonstrations, direct action against ministers and state institutions, mutiny of Armed Forces units (who mainly hate the government).<br /><br />"They" realise all this, so it is unlikely to happen.Jess The Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01694805454982688213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016770406704738984.post-40094390036353986552009-07-08T20:15:37.910+01:002009-07-08T20:15:37.910+01:00Is this for real?
