(nothing new there then?)
good fucking god are we not aware (well some of us) that the left was born out of the state infiltration of
The Communist Party of Grate Britain

Born from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Creaghe
Which gave us the present day labour party

It has been in the interest of the state to keep a sectarian divide

and so it goes on today

Oh how i laughed when i read this, (the fucking ironery)
New evidence has now emerged that the violent attack on the anti-Bush demonstration by the police last Sunday, 15th June,
http://ianbone.wordpress.com/2008/06...p-on-bush-demo was not only premeditated but was also orchestrated by the police themselves. Yasmin Whittaker-Khan writing in yesterday’s (scum) Mail on Sunday identified one ‘protester’ as a police ‘agent provocateur’
The background is this:
On Sunday 15th June
http://indymedia.org.uk/en/2008/06/401432.html the Stop the War Coalition together with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the British Muslim Initiative organised a peaceful protest against the visit of US President George Bush to London. (like demos are ever going to change anything)
Over the last seven years Stop the War has organised numerous
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/fi...aq-480871.html demonstrations all of which have all passed off peacefully. All these events have been arranged with the co-operation of the Metropolitan police with whom the Coalition has had a good working relationship.
This time the police were clearly operating with a different agenda:
1] Whitehall was sealed off for unspecified reasons. The police had
taken the ‘political’ decision not to allow a march to proceed along
Whitehall.
2] More than 1200 police, many of whom were riot police, were deployed
to control a peace demonstration of no more than 2500 people.
3] Without provocation the police drew their batons en masse and
proceeded to attack the demonstrators. There are many independent
witnesses to this and the photographic evidence is strong. Several
people were hospitalised and others arrested indiscriminately.
4] There is evidence that the police used ‘agent provocateurs’ to try
[without success] and stir up the crowd. See the article by Yasmin
Whittaker-Khan in the Mail on Sunday 22nd June 2008.
A number of questions now need urgent attention:
a] Who took the decision to ban the march? Which government ministers
were involved? What role did the United States security services play in
this decision?
b] Why were so many police deployed?
c] Who gave the order for batons to be drawn and used?
d] Why did the police use ‘agent provocateurs’ to try and create disorder?
Were the security services involved in this sinister development?
Andrew Murray, Chair of the Stop the War Coalition, said today, ‘The premeditated attack on a peace demonstration by the police marks a further deterioration in the civil liberties of all people in Britain.
We demand a full public investigation into the events of June 15th.’
Really why is the agent provocateur issue such a problem. The article was printed in the (scum) Mail for starters with no factual evidence and little reasoning.
STWC has to except that some people oppose their pacifist (pacifying?) ideals and are prepared to confront the police. This talk of agent provocateurs is a complete non-issue regardless of its authenticity. STWC are just using this article as a means to distance themselves from the more radical fraction willing to use direct action at events like this. I honestly don’t believe the majority of people at at anti-war protests wish to tow the STWC line or even care about them they are there in opposition to an unjust war. The majority of the general public is not pacifist. Its time we built a more accommodating anti-war movement open to diverse tactics and thats primary aim isn’t furthering the careers of aging liberal dinosaurs.

It not surprising that the police will have plain closed officers in attendance at demos or that they would use illegal tactics in there operations but we need to get past this and learn to act accordingly with autonomy and solidarity with those prepared to act directly.
Being there as part of contingency plans is not the same as "pointing guns at demonstrators" as she emotionally claims)
