I'll be there, there will be too many for the police to deal with, i don't think a million is unrealistic, and there should be enough splinter actions to get involved with should you wish. Not booking a train back on the same day as hopefully it should spin off into events on Sunday.

I like Mr Bones idea that we occupy somewhere but our climate is not quite so accommodating as Cairo.
We could do it. Hopefully the Vegans can supply some lentils to eat and the hippies some 12v sound systems to keep the spirits high.
Lots of firewood will be needed.

And when you've occupied somewhere, and the rest of the country is watching Eastenders, what then?

Which is why I suggest somewhere more high profile.

It ought to be more interesting that watching that dogshit.

You could fortify UCL well. Then take it from there.

We can look at the Greece example of having a radical sets of bases as a nucleus of activity and insurrection.

Each other?
Perhaps, but bearing in mind that the UK is not Greece and has a very different political tradition.
How do you have an insurrection against a well-armed state, equipped with all the latest firepower and methods of defence, when you have no arms yourself?

We have much worse surveillance both physical cctv and also with the likes of FIT. But the Greek's have much more violence of face on the street.
Have you read about the Delta Squads?

They are much more likely to fit you up with false evidence. The have tear gas and use it alot.

The Greek anarchists in relatively small number use the Molotov to great affect. Also they deal with the initial back and forth rushes of the front line riot plod in a much more conscious way than we do here.

I've got some on video somewhere I'll dig it out. The police rush the front-line anarchos but quick after the panic the anarchist reply with a volley of rots and petrol bombs.

well spotted
i would have thought that it would start out, as these things so often do, by people rioting and then obtaining arms through raiding arsenals and the like. or it might not be an insurrection like the easter rising but something nearer egypt.

I would argue that is the embryo of a guerrilla movement rather that the first stages of an insurrection.

can be either depends what's done with them

An insurrection would be IMO, fighting with what we already had, brick bats, lumps of wood, fists and molotovs.
I would of thought the police would be a bad target for the protesters. I like the idea of a peaceful occupation, its OK to run rings round cops all over town for a couple of hours but one thing that Cairo can inform us about protest is things can happen over time with people joining who were not initially involved or politically active enough to join the initial march. The movement needs to plant some firm roots and get legitimacy.

you seem to be relying on the police playing along with you

How many people have died so far in Egypt in the latest insurrections?
