Labour MPs report that its not a subject anyone raises with them.

Diane Abbot on Andrew Neil's show last week said that there's considerable disquiet on the Labour backbenches.

Dr Attica and his Greek chums from the Class War Fed (Praxical Tendency) prepare to repel the Persian pigs.

Fucking pathetic.

Presumably, these anarchists don't have jobs, but don't mind living on state handouts.

Why not mention the fact that none of them wash while you're at it :rolleyes:
 
For such events as these, perform this sum:

20 'anarchists'/3 x 2 = 14 SIS and 6 genuinely foolish males with a fetish for violence, lured by third-campist class war to the police demo by calls for tit-for-tat grudge match against the police :p

There'll be no real anarchists there. It's all a con. Why would anarchists want to provide the Home Office with a reason why police should not be allowed to strike?

I certainly can't think of one. I'm off to rob my local bank tomorrow. Viva lá revolution :)
 
I hope it rains tomorrow. I'm not against the police asking for their pay rise, what pisses me off is the fact they are bending the rules whilst they are happy to give other protestors a slap.
Nothing would look better on the Beeb then seeing 15,000 drenched coppers trying to all pile into the Red Lion on White Hall :)

Not you back spamming fucking ian bone's site again. Go on, piss off.
Did I miss something? It was an interesting link, and a current affairs story.

Anyway, Paul, you said "Strangely no one else has attempted to link the police's pay dispute with other public sector disputes". But lots of media sources already have. eg BBC, Guardian, Times, Telegraph and so on. In fact I don't think I've seen any copy about the public sector pay dispute in which the police are not mentioned.

Don't get me wrong, I do know where the counter demonstration is coming from. I do agree that the cops shouldn't expect solidarity when they've never shown it themselves, and I do think that this point needs to be more widely aired. I just don't think the counter demo will achieve that. It'll be fun for those involved, and it'll annoy some cops, but if the aim is to achieve a bit more than that, then I think it'll fall short.
 
Not my words but

Why would anarchists want to provide the Home Office with a reason why police should not be allowed to strike?

Further - why would anyone want to provide the Home Office with a reason why police should not be allowed to strike?

Let them strike.

Let them strike forever, as long as they don't get strike pay. Let them demonstrate. Poor Polis. (((Polis)))

Let them hole up behind a never ending picket line that'll never be crossed.

At least we've got em where we want them.

Fuck em.

And it seems from reading those links that some in the Police Federation are willing to sell their own membership down the swannee.

Hopefully these disputes will prove how important cross-sector solidarity is by this point, historically and presently, and that's got to be worth something.
 
Good luck to 'em I suppose. It is a bit ridiculous and probably counter productive and certainly attention grabbing but it's 'Clarse War' (don't bogart the White Lightening and Ket bruv). Boo hiss to da pigs! :D

"Thermopylae" eh? Not very working class of you...more public school if you ask me. :D

Just remember the reference the next time Class War is accused of patronising working class people and deliberately 'dumbing down' Anarchism. ;)
 
NOrmally on a demo, the organisers estimate of attendees is about double the police estimate. I wonder if this will be the case today?

How are they bending the rules?

I appreciate your love of me JHE leads you to literary and photo montage flourishes. However - the event in question has nothing to do with me. I was not consulted about it, and I am not attending it.

Can you perhaps suggest suitable knowledge for proles, then? As a state comp kid, I had no idea classical history was a prohibited subject. Should I pretend to have learned what I know from Brad Pitt films?

I thought that was your job as self styled saviour of Britain's working classes? :D

Are you suggesting that I have classical knowledge? I never encountered Thermopylae in school either.

Oh and you don't have much of a point. :p

No, neither did I. I read about it myself, encouraged by my Grandad, a machine turner who left school aged 10 and who was incredibly well-read. He gave me a Penguin edition of Tacitus when I was still at primary school.

So did I...well, I read about it many years after I'd left school. My grandad was self-taught too; left school at 10 to work in an Ayrshire colliery. I get my love of study from him. :)
 
whats this 'prolier than thou' corner?

i would have thought my grandad very weird indeed for giving me that book at that point in my life :)

(its unlikely - he couldn't read and write)
 
Granddads pah! We were too poor to have granddads...it was a kick in the face with a hob nailed boot and you considered yourself lucky to pay for the privilege.
