Would have been good to have seen you dotcom, I even thought about you earlier in the day when the RMT charted train I was on passed through Kettering. Together, me and you could have unleashed more fiery death and destruction than the entire blackblock combined.
 
I was stuck on a NATSUWC (whatever it is) teachers union coach. The combined might of them helped me translate a french phrase from the book I was reading- by googling on a smartphone.

lol
 
It's pity rather than flame that you deserve.

Says you who went with your family and kids and then SENT THEM HOME so you could rubberneck.

What action did I take? None. Couldnt be arsed. Coulnt be arsed because there was no structure to today. Couldnt be arsed because there was no passion. Coulndt be arsed because 99% of the people there today were there on cheap day returns and it wasnt raining.

This country is fucking rubbish at revolution.

More cucumber sandwiches?

I agree with averagejoe in that i wish it had kicked off more than it did. I wasn't there though so what can i say. Still wish there had been more disorder.
 
So what did we have today. 250000 people marching (to take an average of the figures reported) and what did we do? Threw some paint at Top Man, broke a window at the Ritz and set fire to some rubbish at Picadilly Circus. All the while egged on by the massive that couldnt be arsed to turn up via twitter, facebook and this very site.

We used to be an empire. FFS.

And no, this isnt a troll. It embarrasses me that the BEST we can do is a wholly inarticulate and uncoordinated wobble. Even Libya can do better, at leat they are driven by proper passion - we are just driven by "meh, there's not much else on today - so lets go to London and follow some people around aimlessley".

If you wanted to fuck up London, hire 6 transit vans. At a prescribed time, get them all to park up sideways on the road lock the vans and drop the keys down the nearest drain. - outside the Angel tube, on the roundabout by Grosvenor Road/Park Lane, at Haymarket, at Victora, at the Blackwall tunnel and at the massive roundabout/one way system at Hammersmith. Then set off flares at Picadilly, Kings Cross, Victoria and Embankment undergrounds.

Voila, traffic gridlock, no trains, no busses no nothing. And it took a max of 15 of you.

Fucking amateurs. These kids will be in charge of putting us into homes in 20 years. I am more afraid of that than the cunts in charge at the moment. At least with them I have (something of) a choice.

Flame me.
Nice try Joe, I just cant see it working. It should be easy enough to tow some vans out the way.

The thing is, by the time the vans are parked up, the other traffic blocks everything else. The police cant get there. Even if they can, they then have to break into the vans and then start them (which will need a further delivery of specialists - recovery vehicles or something), which cant get there because the whole place is snarled up. And with the smoke on the underground, they cant get there that way either.

I don't think the idea was to fuck up London, was it? You appear to be confusing the TUC with Al Quaeda. The idea was to protest against cuts, and there was a fair bit of direct action targeted against companies which are perceived to be tax dodgers. Setting off nukes or poisoning resevoirs or whatever else it is you fancy doing would have been rather off-message in that context.
 
AverageJoe

Trouble is the lines between activism and terrorism blur with your idea and you could then be faced with armed police etc and long stretches.

This sounds exactly what the anti cuts movement is calling out for .
