    Can you do it the following Saturday the 25th? As I'm working the 18th and I don't want to be stuck in traffic for another useless protest that will achieve absolutely nothing.

    Read the article , doing nothing is even worse. Your a smart guy figure out your logistics , and you seem to be accepting it will be a large march otherwise no real traffic congestion, thanks for that

    I’m just trying to establish : so The Journal is a factual unbiased publication ?

    I’d like to believe there’s Some middle-of-the-road news source in the country ?

    The article is written by a socialist politician, so take from that what you will. Unbiased news sources are hard to come by, every publication nowadays seems to have a leaning one way or another. The ditch maybe, maybe as close to centre as you can get but I could be wrong on that.

    Imagine studying journalism and then ending up working for the journal. I'd rather shit in my hands and clap

    Less than 200 hundred protesters had me stuck for 3 hours in east wall when it started. Is less than 2 hundred a large march.

    Actually doing something is worse. It's showing the far right that your worried about them.

    You really want to do something to stop it. Tell the government to stop letting everyone and anyone in without checks or a plan of action.

    What's the government going to do in month or so time when the hotels that are currently being used to "house" all these kick them and tourists season starts. Where Will all go?

    You think we knew Ukraine was coming , I am hoping several thousand are there , yes we have a serious challenge but should we have refused to help Ukraine. Do nothing is not an answer to the Far right IMO

    We have serious challenges here that pre date refugees so scapegoating them is exploitation . You think it is right to use media to accuse people leading to assaults . Not sure of your position are you a far right guy, are you a putin guy , asking for a friend
    And if you are against this stuff what about some suggestions other than ostrich and sand
