So you would be prepared to use violence George?.....Too much of a gentleman to strike the first blow?...and I'm not trying to be sarcastic.
When I was young and being bullied at school, I was given some good advice by my old uncle...."be sure tae get the first one in boy, the first one's the best and gey often the last."

Many here say violence doesn't work, its counter productive, but violence or the threat of violence is commonly used by the strong powers against the weak.....Have you forgotten Iraq already?...or Gaza?..or Chile? or Spain?....the list is long and bloody.

However, the violence we have to guard against is the removal of our liberties, as Lox says, the loss of the right to protest, the right of free speech, the right to demonstrate.
Dont think for one moment that the people who run this system would be like "Gentleman George"; my grandfather told me of the last great social unrest in Britain, which culminated in the 1926 General Strike and how our political leaders put the troops and tanks into Red Clydeside, ready to blow the citizens to pieces for daring to demand the end of a "discredited system in the hands of greedy, dishonest and incompetent individuals"
