    Half a dozen idiots sponsored by the radical left. The Federal Police must act smartly to catch the leaders and their supporters from PSOL.

    I reckon they have just started, this was always going to happen when you have so many people in poverty.You need a change in Government, obviously these ex commies do not know how to run a country.

    It is. I heard that England is full of poor people. The largest number ever.
    Too bad no more wars, or even countries that accept immigrants to spawn its surplus population remain.

    You should prepare yourself because things tend to get worse.

    You obviously were misinformed. They have poor people just the same as other countries but not to a great degree, you do not see shanty towns or ( favelas in the UK) They have a wonderful benefit system in the UK that is why so many immigrants want to go there.Yes they have food kitchens, some people will always want something for nothing.

    1. Sheesh ANOTHER propaganda video? Are you really as stupid as you seem?
    Calling out the army, police on strike, pepper spraying teachers, slum dwellers in civil unrest, seems like any other day in the 3rd world.

    It's all going well then lads!

    Are we going to run a sweepstake on:

    1) How many Brits get killed (by any means other than natural causes);

    2) How many Brits get mugged (may count in both classes 1 & 2);

    3) How many Brits actually turn up for the WC.

    What a country, First World my culo.

    @9
    Is that picture that is at the top of the page “ The Official World Cup Poster” to welcome the visitors to your shit country, it was all over the BBC news I was told, it has gone viral. Who in their right minds would want to go to the World Cup? especially where it is being held.

    Hey Brazzo, your Nemesis is back...to hound you and your unfounded, ignorant opinions.
    @1 “Half a dozen idiots sponsored by the radical left.”.....you conveniently omit the fact that this type of protest was used and was strongly insigated by the PT when they were the opposition....now that they are the 'situation', they can't control the beast.
    @3“ I heard that England is full of poor people””.....you don't say...first of all, you 'hear' things and then you go off spreading the word as if it were the gospel truth...check your facts you idiot !
    @9 ,,,utter bilge....go get an education !!!
