EGGED ON:
SQUATTING BAN M.P CHASED OFF UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Mike Weatherley, due to deliver a talk on the new squatting legislation, at the University of Sussex today, was instead chased off campus by students and protesters.
After realising the opposition the lecture was to face, The University of Sussex Conservative society changed the format into a debate in order to try and appease the many trolls on the Facebook event. However, attendees decided to take a different approach, seeing no use in debating over a law that had already been passed. Seconds after turning up at the lecture theatre, Weatherley was surrounded by around 50 people shouting "Whatever they say, squatting will stay".
Without even getting a foot in the door, Weatherley was turned around by his team and campus security and began walking in the opposite direction. Whilst some stayed in the lecture theatre to give an impromptu talk about the squatting ban, other protesters chased Weatherley through university buildings pelting him with tomatoes and eggs.
As Weatherley, his aides and right hand man Robert Nemmeth sprinted into a room and locked themselves inside, people surrounded the building and blocked every exit. Whilst Weatherley and co. hid inside, awaiting a police escort to save them, a crowd of amused onlookers gathered at the entrance to watch the show. Around 20 minutes later, two cop vans rolled up and Weatherly was brought out of the building by two police. Again he was surrounded with protesters attempting to block the route into the back of the van.
As he was bundled in he was pelted with a few more tomatoes, and people stood in front of the van to prevent it driving away. After a few short tussles with the police, the van sped away, leaving Nemmeth and Weatherley's aides stranded inside to find their own way home.
The victory was celebrated with a banner drop from the intended venue, stating "No Housing, No Peace".
You can't put a comment at the bottom of "And Finally" so I am doing it here.
I like schnews which is why I am picking you up on this.
Some of the "facts" quoted in this weeks And Finally about the USA and the World are I suspect made up/inaccurate, which is unfortunate because there really is no need given the state of the world to use non-facts when there are so many actual facts that would back up your argument (which I agree with).
Random twitter feeds which do not reference where facts come from have no value and @InjusticeFacts, which you reference, is just such a case. As an example you quote from @InjusticeFacts:
"North Americans use more electricity on Christmas lights than the entire yearly usage of the entire African continent."
You quote this, and it is a killer fact- or it would be if it was one. Where is the source, was the data analysis reliable, how was it done and by whom AND WHEN. I suspect this "fact" is just spurious but the rapid industrialisation of Africa in the last twenty years makes me incredulous (without some valid references I can chase up) that it could be true now...
This kind of random adoption of unsourced twitter "facts" does your reputation as a reliable source of news and analysis from a left wing perspective no help at all. What next are you going to re-circulate in the self referencing internet echo chamber... "911 TRUTH" facts?
P.s.Go on make my day ('cos it's such a great fact if true) find me a reference with providence I can follow for "North Americans use..."
Telling somebody to shut the hell up isn't an attack on free speech any more than telling somebody they aren't allowed to tell somebody to shut the hell up.
Mike Weatherly can say what he likes, but he certainly can't say it where he likes.
This is just the start of what happened - and now we live in Tory land more ignorant dumb people are cropping up online posting baseless accusations against squatters who they've never met. Idiots.
Mike - if you're reading this, this is just the start fella. Everywhere you go now, thousands will follow unfavourabily and unfortunately cause you harm. "rocks and missiles". You're a joke and a laughing stock to anyone with half a brain.
