Ligji perballet me ligj e kundra ligji me kundra ligj. Keta lapuraket nuk mund te mposhten kur behen shume por ne kohe normale nje nga nje u thyhen brinjet e jo te ndezin zjarre e flakadane por t'u dridhet mishi e lekura kur te degjojne per to. E gjithe bota eshte diktature, si kujtoni se mbahet populli urte kur shperthen!? Jooo! 25 vite te shkuar per 1 Maj na dilnin kulufet e benin demonstrata duke thyer "gjoja" dyqanet e kapitalizmit boteror e bastisnin paisje elektronie e mallra me vlere. I madhi Tony Blair e filloi me bllokimin anesor te rruges kryesore te zhvillimit te "manifestimit te 1 Majit", por dyqanet u blinduan me borde e nuk mund te thyheshin xhamat. Natyrisht njerezit kane edhe nevoja personale e donin te urinonin e te dhiteshin e policia nuk i lejonte te dilnin nga rruga kryesore e caktuar per demonstrate. I zuri halli te shkretet njerez e filluan te shurriteshin e dhiteshin ne rruge. Aty filloi "sebepi" e merr arresto e i denuan me burg per ofence kriminale publike. Qe ate vit lamashet, lulashet, alabaket nuk u pane me e s'ka me demonstrata per 1 Majken. OK.
