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

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

I certainly can't think of one. I'm off to rob my local bank tomorrow. Viva lá revolutioninvisibleplanet said: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?

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

How are they bending the rules?TomPaine said: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.

Ooh, get him. Nothing happens without Attica's say-so! Right!?Attica said:I was not consulted about 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?nino_savatte said:"Thermopylae" eh? Not very working class of you...more public school if you ask me.![]()

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.nino_savatte said:I never encountered Thermopylae in school either.
