Myanmar monks protesting in Burma! Morris dancers in UK?

Question

So we have the monks in Burma demonstrating against the military rule with their chants and peaceful protests. It got me thinking for all the "good" the voice of the UK population does when we don't agree with a government issue, let the Houses of Parliament be beseiged by a marauding swarm of Morris Dancers, who are the stalwarts of British history and tradition.
Let them let rip with their jingly bell sticks and a "hey nonny ney" and see the politicians quake in their boots
Views anyone?

OK, so when I posted this question it was little light hearted. However, 3 days on there is some serious sh*t going down in Burma with the ever present military rulers literally waving their sticks at for the oppression of the majority. Zimbabwe, Burma, Rwanda, even the shooting of kids in the UK by other mindless kids. I tell ya, we humans are determined to shaft ourselves so hard we disappear up our own orifices and the ants will take over within the next 100 years. I honestly don't hold much hope in modern society, ever since they abolished hanging. TOO MUCH PC AND DISRESPECT TO OUR ELDERS my friends. When will it all turn around?

Answer 1

When the common people become too divided into partisan groups or too apathetic, military juntas and thugs fill the void and take over and you have a situation where it takes a shooting revolution to get rid of them.
The common folk need to unite into a non-partisan umbrella group to ensure the power remains with THEM. Then they can argue about conservative vs liberal policies; capitalist vs socialist values etc.

Answer 2

I am annoyed that the voice of the people is lost.

I sent five letters to my MP - Julian Brazier before he would reply. I asked what the UK is going to do about the continued Torture, murder and rape of innocent Tibetans at the hands of the Communist Regime of China.

The reply was "wait until the regime is over"!

Yet the UK government is quick to interfer in places like Iraq.

Raaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Answer 3

Monks are the only 'institution', besides the military, that can command total respect in a Buddhist country. There is no real equivalent in Western society anymore, since the clergy definitely have been shown to be very human indeed.

That being so, your idea is really funny! Are they available for foreign protests?

Answer 4

i'm afraid that subsequently that's no longer priests against goverment yet people-alongside with the priests- against dictatorship.countless adult males in Burma bypass the point of monklife faster or later of their existence , as a convention, as an experience of their faith. yet i'm very lots against different massive worldwide places _us or uk or different- invading the country with a view to help the people against the dictatorship and then stay there afterwards like it has exceeded off in lots of alternative worldwide places.
