Approximately 12,000 People Protest the Pope in UK (ATS Citizen Journalist)

England has a population of 51,500,000

12,000 protesters is one in 4,290 .

..... so , at the end of the day , the "imaginery skyman , WINS !!!!!!"

I kinda like this pic of the pope and the queen together. They both have a nasty sneer look on their faces!

Not even close. How many people inthe uk were against the war with Iraq? Pretty much everyone I know was. 2 milion turned out for that, which was in no way representative to the people who opposed the war. It was just that 2 million turned up to the protest. People don't protest on the whole, they can't be bothered, or they feel that there is no point. Which is wrong, obviously, but that's how it is. I'm sure there are more than 12000 people against insitutionalised child abuse. I'm sure there are more than 12000 people who think that people in Africa should use condoms to help against the spread of aids. So, what is your actual point? Are you for child abuse/the spread of aids/abortion to those who it's needed for ect? Did you go to this protest?

I would have been there, but unfortunatly I had family stuff to do. (I did complain)


Anyway, here's another 80 photopgraphs of the day. (from another forum, please do not repruduce these pictures without permission form the dude who took them, thanking you )

The pope smiles like Dick Cheney it's a pure evil smile... If a puppy dies evey time Dick Cheney smiles, according to Jon Stewart what dies when the pope has his evil death smile?

The queen just looks pissed she has to deal with him.

I'm so mad I couldn't be involved with that. I think the Pope needs to be protested where ever he goes. When he gets off a plane, he should be greeted with eggs and screaming citizens who are fed up with him and his nonsense.

This is the True revolution.

Good job my friend, this is what CJ is all about, the pictures really brought us to the event. keep up the good work!

Hey there. Thank you very much.

Got a big anti-war demo coming up in November, so will be ready to cover that too.

Larry, great work!

The threat to civilised society posed by Christianity is just as great as that of Islam. We should defeat our enemies at home before we fight them abroad.

Loving the nutter on this thread banging on about Liberals, Lefties, Immigrants blah blah blah! Keep on with the fascism thing - it suits you.

Parallex.

Great very much looking forward to that one!

Above all else stay safe.

Also, could you please let us know how this all ends? Did it help or was it just a waste of time?

Great coverage, and some people have very legitimate arguments...
However, the amount of reptilian banners is a little discouraging to me. Takes away a lot of the legitimacy of the other protestors. Reptillian or not (and I'm going to have to go with not) that would be the least convincing argument for dethroning the pope. Besides the fact that I've seen very little proof to determine whether Reptillians even exist, there is even less proof showing they are as evil as some people say.

Good work! No matter the subject, Citizens/people journalism is the future!

We make our own decisions, just provide us with info!

I myself does not believe the reptilian theory, although... nothing is impossible.

But what disturbs me in your comment (no offense intended) is the fact you qualify the amount of rep banners as discouraging.. when i think about that... i raise the question.. How many banner would be convincing?

You get my point?

Thank you. I agree, citizen journalism is the way forward. There were quite a few people like me, out photographing for blogs and such, without press credentials. I didn't know what to expect, but it was a real learning experience. The photographer 'scrum' has to be experienced to be believed!

fair enough, but I only find it disturbing because I've done a lot of research on the matter, and would consider myself fairly educated and open minded, and have come to the conclusion that, unless more evidence is given, the reptillian conspiracy has no solidity to it.
SO, if people can believe this strongly over something with very little fact (again, unless I'm missing some very convincing evidence somewhere (and I am an ET believer in general)) then what else are these people believing so easily?
Could it be that these people are exactly what the NWO would want? People taking fact at face value?
I applaud that they are willing to believe and think outside the box, but to me, its discouraging,disturbing even, that people would jump so strongly to a conclusion with little evidence behind them.
If I were trying to manipulate people, these are completely the type of people I would want following me.

I read UK newspapers and listen to BBC news and I talk to people I know. My impression is that, overwhelmingly, the reactions to the Pope's visit are positive and the predominant feeling is that he has given a basic message that articulates what many people feel. He has stressed the common Christian values that have been the bedrock of our society since Edward the confessor - I agree. He asked for tolerance for religious beliefs and values in a time of increasingly virulent secular opposition - what's wrong with that?
I'm agnostic (it's an uncomfortable perch, but it suits me) and I have never been offended by Christmas, Easter or any of the other Christian festivals. Nor indeed, for that matter, the festivals observed by all other religions. I have never seen the outward displays of Christian adherence, such as the wearing of a cross as a personal adornment, as an affront and I certainly wouldn't insist that someone should cease wearing a cross or lose their job. When local councils defer to the 'supposed' sensibilities of our Muslim citizens and suppress the rights of the Christian majority, there is usually little evidence that those sensibilities actually exist - it is just secular socialist politicians with no religious belief or understanding prosecuting Christians for their faith. I think they do so out of an element of fear bred from ignorance. There are many ways in which our multi-cultural society has adapted to the desires of immigrants - from Sikhs who want to wear turbans and carry ceremonial knives, to Muslim women who want to be completely covered. I find some of these things strange, but I don't feel threatened by them and so I don't make a 'big thing' about it. 'Live and let live.' we say. But I do worry about the demographic time-bomb predicated by the wide disparities in birth-rates between indigienous and immigrant communities. When Muslim preachers say that Islam will triumph in the future because of a blood-less revolution, because they will be the majority, I think that Western peoples need to wake up and have a view about what they want their future to look like.

There was only one sign talking about Masonic reptilian queens and had to get the shot for ATS.

I didn't see anymore NWO alien pope themed banners.

The 5th and 9th picture down in the OP are about Draconians/Reptilians, same thing.
But you were there, so I'll take your word for it. Hell, if I was there, I would have taken those pics too.

BUT, if I were the pope and was looking at why people were protesting, the minute I see a few reptilian signs, I'll just assume there all a bunch of quacks.... unless, he really IS a reptillian!!!

I didn't think about the Blair and Pope banner. Equated it to mean blood on the Pope's hands.

There were lots of colorful condoms flying about!
