Declaration of the 99%
Collaboration, Geopolitics, Politics, SocietyStupid hippies out there protesting don’t know what they want and I’m not sure how sleeping in a tent does anything anyway I mean that’s basically camping isn’t it? No, you’ve just got to go with the flow and look after number one, that’s what I say. I mean just look at this summary list here, it’s a load of old bollocks, isn’t it? “Healthcare for all” what nonsense – bunch of bleeding’ dreamers. And “Protection for Planet” well.. polar bears don’t really do much do they and pandas are a bit crap… bla bla bla mindless nonsense.
