Daily Mail In Gypsy Support Shocker!

I can’t believe that I missed this story. It seems the Hate Mail managed to shoot itself in the foot by pissing off the Twitterati (if it’s not already a word then it is now!). It seems that to mark the end of Refugee week the Hate Mail, from hereon in to be known as the Daily Fail, placed a poll on it’s website asking “should the NHS allow Gypsies to jump the queue?” in relation to an article by that bastion of human decency.. sorry I mean utter cunt rag, Richard Littlejohn. In his article he espouses the usual racist bile that we have come to expect from the fetid little man yet with which he still manages to shock us.

Anyhoo. In relation to this rather disgusting, and ever so slightly leading, poll question the Twitterati swung into action and before long the poll was showing that over 90% of the Daily Fail’s readership supported gypsies getting special treatment from the NHS. This show of decency from its readership led to the Fail removing the poll from its website and replacing it with one asking “Should Commons Speaker Michael Martin resign?”. Does anyone want to tell them he resigned a month ago!

I know this is already a week old but I really wanted to add my wee voice to the hordes already laughing their arses off at the Daily Fail – FAIL!

Police Murder In London

This is no appeal to calm.

…

This month it will become illegal to photograph the police.

Seriously!

On the 16th of Febuary this year the police get the power to arrest, with the threat of ten years in prison, anyone seen photographing them, or more specifically any one who ‘elicits or attempts to elicit information about (members of armed forces) … which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’.

Which is just as catch all as every other piece of anti-’terror’ legislation that has beenpassed in the last 7/8 years. So now if you, or anyone else, takes a photograph of the police assaulting people/acting an inappropriate manner you are quite likely to get arrested and threatened with jail time!

Shower of bastards.

Do They Deserve To Have Their Details Splashed All Over the Web?

It’s been quite the chatter of the media today, the BNP’s dazzlingly inept security that is. There has also been talk over whether it is right to be putting these peoples details all over the shop for all and sundry to see. We do, after all, live in a democracy don’t we? People have the right to think what they like don’t they?

And A 1, And A 2 And A LOL!

The BNP have had their entire membership database put online.

You can find it here.

If you want to keep hold of it, for whatever reason, then you should use the scrapbook application in forefox and save it to a depth on 1 link to make sure you get it all.

All together now. LOL.

Jeff Hoon Takes Political Lessons From Lois Griffin

In a recent debate on Newsnight Transport Seceratary Geoff Hoon admitted that he was willing to go a long way in curtailing peoples civil liberties in order to fight ‘terrorism’. This despite the fact that terrorist attacks in this country over the last ten years have been comparitively few and far between.

Truth be told is that the new plans which were being discussed are not part of the fight against ‘terror’ but just a further step down the path towards a society of totla surveillance.

The plans in question are to allow the security services to moniter e-mails and other forms of electronic communication with impunity. Mr Hoon said during the debate that

“If they are going to use the internet to communicate with each other and we don’t have the power to deal with that, then you are giving a licence to terrorists to kill people.”

By simply extending that logic it is obvious that since terrorists use money then the security services need to be able to monitor all our financial transactions, since they also live in houses then all our houses need to be surveilled.

Basildon Council Scum Bags Should Be Beaten And Hung With Their Own Entrails

It has emerged that Essex Couty Coucils war on the Gypsies of Dale Farm has reached sickening new heights. Plans have been revealed to sieze the children of the travellers and keep them at a holding station some miles away and only return them if the parents leave the county.

For those who don’t know the land at Dale Farm was bought by the travellers after the government encouraged gypsies to settle down. They have built a number of chalets and a few roads on the land alonng with a chapel and the new St Christopher community centre.

Basildon district council have been trying to get rid of the travellers ever since they bought the land. They have apparantly earmarked 5,000,000 euro for the eviction and demolition.

The council say that the travellers do not have planning permission to build on green belt land. Would they have gotten it had they applied? Not bloody likely! Modern planning regulations are a sack of crap. If they can be used to justify making 90 families homeless then something is very wrong.

Regardless of the rights and wrongs of the situation vis a vis planning how the fuck can anybody possibly justify snatching children? These scum at Basildon District Council should be strung up with their own innards and their families made homeless.

Cunts.

@ To B In Manchester

To coincide with the Labour Party conference in Manchester the Stop The War Coalition called for a protest march to demand the troops get pulled out of the various war we are fighting around the world. The Stop the War Coalition is a mash up of various well meaning do gooders, pacifists, trade unionists, quakers and the like though it is mostly under the control of the Socialist Workers Party.

For this years March the Manchester Anarchist Federation and No Borders Network put out a call for a ‘Freedom of Movement Block’. This would be a rallying point for those amongst the left tired of allowing groups like the SWP to dominate the anti-war movement and to show people that there is an alternative to the liberal anti war movement.

Both the No Borders Network and the Anarchist federation are involved in directly helping those who’s lives are affected by capitals wars. Namely the asylum seekers who are forced to flee with their families to safer regions like the EU.

Along with people from the Unity Centre in Govan, an asylum support project that came out of the No Borders Network, a couple of us took the trip to Manchester for the demo.

After a long, and thankfully sing-a-long free, coach trip from Glasgow we arrived in Manchester to glorious sunshine and hot and uncomfortable looking cops on horseback. Looking about for the No Borders and Anarchist Federation block we soon spotted them thanks to the beautiful red and black flags waving in the sunlight. The large amount of fluorescent cops hanging around made the block look rather conspicuous too.

The police acting true to form were well under way with the business of generally harassing people. They had declared a section 60, which they seemed to think gave them the power to demand people remove their masks and allow themselves to be filmed. Well you can demand all you like matey boy. When people, justifiably, refused to comply they attempted to arrest a few people. However again their authority was not recognised and they were not allowed to take our people away.

This they did not like.

Still there was nothing they could do about it short of picking a proper fight. Something I feel they did not want to do with the labour party conference in town. The people within the block showed great strength of character by standing form against the police and their petty little power games.

Anyway after causing a bit of a fuss the police decided that they were going to march down either side of the block in what seemed like an ill thought out attempt to control it. No sooner than we were underway than people began to march either side of the police so that before too long they were surrounded and we had them under control where we could keep an eye on them.

The march carried on pretty much without incident. The trots wheeled out their mind numbing chants. Consider yourself lucky that I have far too much respect for you dear reader than too reprint them here.

The Red’N'Black block however came up with one or two of its own, far more entertaining, chants.

No union!

For cops!

Get proper jobs!

As with all these anti-war shindigs, and most activities the SWP and their ilk organise, this was to be a dull and boring march from A – B to listen to Tony Benn sound like slightly lefty Winston Churchill and various other regulars of the old left. Marches like these have been going on since before the invasion of Afghanistan and have so far managed to achieve sweet FA.

A Bit Of Brown For Brown

The state is simply not concerned about however many people march about the streets calling them names. So long as capital and its war machine is unaffected they don’t care.

It is due to the ineffectiveness of these tactics that the war was able to roll on without a hitch. this may sound like I am laying the blame for this at the feet of the StWC. I am. But not at their feet alone. Almost all parts of the left failed to advocate for radical action against the war and those that did advocate this did not do it loud enough.

We, the anarchists, failed to engage with the millions who were and are against this war and allowed the anti war movement to be steered into ennui and disillusionment as we to a one predicted it would.

So shame on those in the StWC who steered the potential of massive anti war sentiment into the cul-de-sac of a-b marches but doubly shame on us for not agitating loudly enough for real action.

But hopefully over the coming years we will see an upswing in genuinely radical action against the war and towards revolution.

No War But The Class War

Red'N'Black Block

If You…

…don’t freely share your photo’s for free when you post them on Flickr then I despise you. There are not words in the English language that can describe the contempt I hold for you and your ilk. Do you really think that by not sharing you will stop people from using your pictures? view source and ctrl+f class=”photoImgDiv” fuckers. In fact if I look at a picture on flickr that is not shared it makes me want to copy it and paste it up for free elsewhere.

Where do you get off not sharing? Did your parents not hug you enough when you were young? Did the other kids tease you and your stunted social abilities?

Cunts, the lot of you.
