Pensioner Pussy Riot

I should have a read of World Toilet Day for some light relief, kitty!

Is her surname Slocombe by any chance? [Are You Being Served.]

I really do have to keep my lip buttoned on this thread.

Tell us what you make of it pompa go on.

If the poet thought that that dreadful poem reminded me in way of the band - it did not! I was left wondering why pensioners - male and female to my mind - were all accused of having pussies of the genital variety that were annoyed with the NHS, but I really don't want to have to watch it again to find out where it was that I got it wrong...

Apologies Ana should have noticed the quotation marks

I certainly would not have said she's a 'fine poet'

We'll done Pogs this does relate to the all women group of protestors in Russia. However, as this thread has shown not everyone knows this and have misunderstood the video, which is the fault of the video maker IMO.

I knew, but couldn't see the connection between a Russian feminist punk collective and a group of pensioners trying to save their hospital in the face of what they see as treacherous NHS management.

It just doesn't make any sense, that's why the video's been misunderstood NanKate!

I suspect they have achieved their objective - getting people like us talking about it.
BTW, my pussy was white and had odd coloured eyes, miss him

999callforthenhs is quite a large group, started by the Jarrow marchers last month. And, yes, I am a member.

Sorry, what has that got to do with Audrey?

Is this video connected to that group

Just in case any of you want to see what it's all about.
Personally I thought it was very brave of her, and as pompa said, it got you talking about it. Just a shame so many of you do not understand what it's really about - or pretend not to.

I suspect they have achieved their objective - getting people like us talking about it.

Maybe we've been talking about it, but how many would have remembered the name of the hospital without scrolling back?

Sorry, POGS, I think you need to look at it again.

I just have.

I totally missed that.

Yuk!

this video by the same woman explains more clearly what it's all about.

Well done that woman.

What's wrong with a little bit of wickedness in with a serious protest?

The second video was much more to the point and clearer, however the first one certainly got the attention even if the point was lost. I certainly thought it was about the Russian punk group and didn't really bother to listen to the real message as I assumed it would be rubbish.

What's yuk, Galen?

It's that North/south news thing again, isn't it. I hadn't heard of it down here. And when we lived further north and were watching Look North every night, we assumed that far more of the news would be broadcast over the whole country than actually was. I'm afraid durhamjen that I had not heard of the movement at all.

I'm surprised you hadn't heard about the problems at Stafford Hospital, it must have been covered on national news, we are in East Anglia and have seen it on the news.
