Why Did The British Government Send Snipers To A Peaceful Protest?By Sophie McAdam A week of action was organized by community groups to coincide with David Camerons Tory party conference which took place in Manchester between 3rd-7th October. This included alarge demonstrationlast Sunday, where an estimated85,000 British citizens gathered in the city to show their anger at the Tories and everything they stand for. Our sources claim that some agent provocateurs were present to cause trouble and ensure negative coverage of the event. Those entering the conference were called Scum; many were spat on and several eggs were thrown at politicians and journalists. However, taking into accountsuch a large attendance, the protest was very peaceful on the whole. For their own personal safety, Conservative party members were warned not to show their conference passeswhen walking around Manchester (a sign of just howhated are they are). A large proportion of British people are furious that the Tories were swept to power last May for a second term despite the fact that75%did not vote for them. Protesters are therefore calling for an urgent reform of our undemocraticfirst past the post electoral system, in addition to showing their strong opposition to Tory plans to renew Trident, our nuclear warhead: this is going to cost taxpayers 500 million, at a time whenhomelessness in Manchester has risen by 150% due to the Conservative partys inhumane cuts to welfare payments. Hundredshave committed suicide as a direct result of Camerons austerity measures; some have even starved to death after their benefits were stopped. This is absolutely sickening in a highly developed country in 2015, and as a result Sundays march saw many holding placards to commemorate the lives and deaths of their loved ones. selfnewss also want to protect our public postal service, the BBC, and our National Health Service (NHS) from privatization, save the trade unionsCameron has vowed to destroy, and send a clear anti-war message to the government. Its understandable that people have had enough of the Tories and want to exercise their democratic right to protest. But wait whats that up there? A Twitter user called Ben Whittingham posted this photograph of snipers on the citys rooftops during Sundays march: Some would argue that these kind ofsecurity precautionsare necessary in a world filled with the constant threat of terrorism. Otherswould argue that the only terroristswho need to be kept in check are those wearing expensive suits and charming smiles, those war-mongering terrorists inside the Tory party conference. While citizensprotested against their policies outside, Camerons hated government wereplanning further military action: there is breaking news from the BBC today thattroops will be sent to the Balticsto keep a check on Russian aggression. This hypocrisy is almost laughable. For all his faults, Putin didnt invade Afhganistan. Putin didnt invade Iraq, either. Unlike the Western alliance, Putin didnt wage war on Libya or send his troops to The Philippines, Mali, Yemen, and Somalia. His decision to send Russian forces to Syria is not an act of aggression against the USA and its allies, but rather against the Islamic State- who he claims were created and funded by the USA. If Putin were to send snipers to a peaceful protest, you can bet your bottom dollar that western corporate media would make sure it was headline news. As it stands, theres a general media blackout of this unprecedenteddecision. This news, along with Edward Snowdens most recent revelationson the extent of Britains police state, are a clear attack on our civil liberties. Regionalnewspaper The Manchester Evening Newscontacted Greater Manchester Police (GMP) for an explanation of the snipers. Bizarrely, when asked why marksmen were present in the city, officersdeniedit was related to security.They are there purely for observation, a spokesperson said.They are high up for that reason, to observe. And they [the guns] are used for their powerful sight, which is stronger than any pair of binoculars. They are not there to shoot people. What do you think? Let us know your comments below.

Peaceful doesnt exist with Muslims/Islamic. The scope works with or without weapon attached to it. They cant claim to be so dumb that they dont understand the message this kind of behaviour sends. They knew and did it anyway. The unrest is growing across the globe. The public figured it out. Must step up the culling. Dont take the flu shot. The Cochrane Group determined that the flu shot prevents nothing, and its ingredients cause illness. However, the flu shot provides $$ to the pharmacy industry and physicians who pollute their patients with it. For sure it is profitable for drug-store chains that now offer it. I stopped taking it in 1988, havent had the flu since then. Havent had it either, since I stepped up my vitamin D3 intake, I live in northern climes. ( : Snipers are not deployed for the purpose of observation. As an ex British Paratrooper Sniper I can assure the public that Snipers are not deployed with a Sniper rifle for general observation duties.
