peasepud 59 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Fuck you you absolute shower of bastards. Up until half an hour ago I believed in everything you were fighting for, felt it was a worthwhile cause and understood the whole concept now I hate you. We've just driven over the Tyne Bridge to see coppers blocking off the pedestrian walkways but nothing else to be seen then we drove underneath it and as we came round the corner and looked up, there it was.. a body hanging from the top centre of the arch. In clear view, probably the second most shocking thing Ive seen, the first being when I last saw a body hanging from a tree while casually sitting on a bus minding my own business. Turns out the "body" isnt a body but a dummy with a nice big "Happy Father Day" sign above it. After calling the police to confirm it wasnt really a body I was told it had been there all day and they couldnt get it down because theres one of your lot up there and it would be too dangerous. Well thank fucking you Spiderman, Im now seriously traumatised, it makes no difference to the fact I know its not real, the damage is done all I now see is a body hanging in plain view.

Fop 1 Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 I think that was the idea, to shock and highlight the fathers driven to suicide by the current system. Probably rather counter-productive and stupid though, although in fairness given how utterly stonewalled they are by the authorities I'm not really surprised they are getting more extreme.

peasepud 59 Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Well this was the angle we saw it from and when you dont know its not real and aren't expecting to see that its a hell of a shock! (actually on reflection, Im guessing I was so shocked because I thought it must have been me based on the length of them legs ) And yes, when you see it from a different angle and close up its clear to see what it is but at the time all you see is some poor sod dangling (although it appears we're the only people not to have seen the news today!) And these pics were only taken once we knew it wasnt real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I often wonder if these people think such behaviour will encourage people to think they should be taking care of kids. But then, I guess women convinced us of their ability to think rationally by hoying themselves in front of horses and that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly something like that or indeed actually this would likely be only catalyst for a genuine turning point on the issue. At the end of the day only two things really change the law, money or publicity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 If you're still living down the quayside Pud you could do us all a favour and take him out from your balcony..you must be able to get a good shot from there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 In all seriousness though, It really wasn't a nice sight. Then the idiot removed the protest sign, just leaving the dummy hanging, wheres the point in that as a protest? What a waste of resources, the coppers are still there now.

Ellie 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Selfish Bastard more to the point. What about all the kids on the Quayside on Sunday?? try explain his protest to a 10 year old. Loads of people resort to suicide because of other peoples actions and yes, while its a terrible thought, you don't see people hoying dummies off public places to get their point across do you? He'd have got far more support if it hadn't have been so macabre. Bet his kids are really proud of their dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Don't see the fuss really. The average 10 year old will have been exposed to far worse. He was probably hoping the bridge would be closed to traffic though. Which makes him a selfish bastard. It wasn't though, unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness most any other group being "oppressed" by the UK state in a similar way would have 1001 lobby groups lining up to fight their fight for them. They don't and the state is doing an incredibly effective and complete job of ignoring the issues in question (and probably will continue to do so until someone actually does an Emily Davison ).

sweetleftpeg 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 He'll claim that shock tactics are the only way of getting the coverage/his point across. I don't think he'll have given much thought about what random 10 year olds think, which is pretty hypcritical really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 How's it more shocking than a burning effigy of Guy Fawkes on top of a bonfire btw? To give just one example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammynb 2929 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Fuck the media in general and more so the internet has robbed children of their childhood and innocence. A mock hanging more than likely will just send them to rotten dot com in the hope of actually seeing the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
