March 26 March for Alternative - LIVE INFO SHARE

im not saying its another form of march. i'm saying that they had just as much right to be there as anyone else, and were not "highjacking" it, they weren't forcing anyone to go into fucking fortman and mason at gunpoint were they. whether i agree with all their methods on this particular occasion is another matter.
 
Come off it.

They aint 'marching'. They are out there on the cobbles rioting. Now you might agree or disagree with thier actions but dont try and minimise by claiming its just an alternative form of march.

The TUC lot, they marched. Almost zero Police input and it was ended in a nice little Labour party rally in Hyde Park.

The Black Flag mob, they are protesting. Properly. Its not a march in any way, shape or form.

Careful now, you're starting to sound like a lefty!
 
i suggest you go into your local conservative party branch meeting and tell your comrades your views stoatie :cool:.

And they had their own soundtrack too:

It's certainly not hijacking when they carried out actions away from main march!
 
Apparently only 100 people left in Traf Sq - plod have swept in and cleared out loads of people. Looks like kettling is happening here bigstyle.
 
Had to turn Sky News off as it was infuriating me. All that rubbish about the reason the Black Bloc's numbers suddenly swelling being that they somehow persuaded people to join them. I expect they had about 300 black hoodies on them then. And the talk of criminality, mindless thugs, these aren't protesters...yes they fucking are. Agree with the methods or their grievances or not, it's still a protest & legitimate at that.

Some fine tales to be told over the next couple of days.
 
Exactly. It's something to do with some shit called democracy, or freedom, or some such nonsense. How dare the natives get restless!?!

And anarchism is a philosophy which emphasises (usually non-violent in the sense that they're not out to kill people) direct action as a political tactic in the struggles of the working class. If you are an anarchist then sorry but whether anarchism is right or not, whether you agree with it or not, you are going to believe that that is legitimate and in fact, frequently necessary. you're going to share a similar viewpoint to others on the march on other poltiical issues. so why the fuck is your presence on the march, even if you leave it later on to go do your anarchist thing, "highjacking" it?
 
Careful now, you're starting to sound like a lefty!

LOL.

The lefties were on that wonderful march with its varied colours and noises and just a lovely atmoshphere of being part of something and all followed up by a lovely speech from that nice Mr Milliband.

Thats the British left.

I aint sure what those people smashing the banks up but its an insult to label them as being part of the British left because they might be a lot of things but ineffectual wankers they aint.

Please dont confuse my admiration for the direct protests today as some sort of conversion to the left. It aint. What I saw in Hyde Park today makes me loathe the 'left' more than I can even begin to articulate and to see them all in their smug glory makes me hope that even more of them lose thier cosy public sector jobs.

The Welfare state has become a tumour on British society and the sooner its dismantled the better but if thats going to happen then those of us on the libertarian right need to be willing to take the sort of direct action I saw today and make it happen.

And the one thing we should all share is a loathing of the banks and corporations.
 
OK, stop replying to whatshisface, he's been asked to cease and desist, now I'm asking the rest of you to stop.
 
157 arrests today - from an attendance of let's say 400,000, this is a shocking 0.04%. Curse this violent majority.

The only national stats I could find were for 2006, in which 2.3% of the UK population were arrested.
