Starting to make more news now but still not as much as it should, maybe because it's far away from Europes doorstep and they feel safe !zed

If it was in America they would cover it, fucking US news/happenings shoved down our throat everyday the last few years

"Protesters led by South Korean farmers - among the most heavily subsidised in the world" I just read, was wondering why they were in the protest in the 1stplace tbh but I enjoy the anti government marches so I got carried away by the pics

Well as much as I am anti government etc I also happen to think farmers in France here and er South Korea now are subsidised too much

Lala what exactly are you protesting about?
Soz for noob question but..........

I know that farmers in Africa don't get subsidies so why should they?
Fuckface ;]

 

[W.]

farmers in africa don't get subsidies?
Nice one, pulling ideas out of your ass.

"Protesters led by South Korean farmers - among the most heavily subsidised in the world - had vowed to step up action against the world trading system"




Compared to the subsidies the South Koreans and French get.....and leave my bum out of this.

Ok learning more from goold old google

Ther South Koreans obviously don't want their own market opened up to cheaper rice but fck the African farmers have it worse and I include their coffee growers

 

[W.]

describe for me the subsidies received by sout korean farmers relative to an average african, who are they getting them from? the wto? the wef? the farmers internationale?



Why do you like the pictures of people attacking power until you find out that they're doing it for a reason? Surely a farmer trying to shut down the WTO is as good as any other person shutting down the wto?

I'm hungover, thumped party tonight!

 

[Janer]

For starters it's an umberalla of groups protesting at the WTO and it's not just about the SK farmers.
Originally I just asked a question, I am not an anarchist mastermind supreme being like you, but I am willing to learn from you

 

[W.]

come to a party sometime, i'll shout at you in the kitchen.

........to show my support for the farmers and peasants who stand to lose out from whatever decisions (or lack thereof) are made at WTO that affect their livelihoods.

as it stands, 800 koreans are currently sitting it out in jail. 108 (i think) have been released so far.

more as and when.
merry christmas from HK
