Re: Riots in Tibet
What pisses me off big time is that, once again, the British Govt. are talking about creating a "ring of steel" round the route of the Olympic Torch when it comes to London to prevent Free Tibet activists from demonstrating. Same as in my first post where they prevented demos against the then Chinese Premier's visit.

WTF?! This is MY country, not some Chinese province, as far as I am aware. The Free Tibet movement is largely made up of Buddhists who are, surprisingly enough, pacifists and non-violent.

Why are the people in government so frightened of a few banners and Tibetan flags and a bunch of loud hailers? Freedom of speech my ass.

Gets right on my wick, I can tell you.
