The anarchists with the tank (until such time as tank is confiscated) are the anarchists in charge :p

If there is more than one tank in anarchist posession, the result could of course be anarchy :p ;)
 
i read a fabulous headline once....

'anarchist convention descends into order'.... :D :D

Quick, give them some administrators and a large it system project..
...that'll sort 'em out :D
 
If you lot are going to be succesful with the tank you need the backing of a good 1000 or so of demonstrators to keep the plod at bay.

Loads of disperate actions are not going to help.

A critical mass of partying, militant and determined protesters are needed.

Keeping the tank clandestinely hid will be hard enough in east london and driving it to the critical mass of people will be even more of a challenge.

Maybe one mass meeting place and then move on to find the vehicle?

I'd love to be section 60'd with a tank on our side :D

Well all this is relevant if you're collective intentions are to stop this arms boot fair with force or just trying to get your faces in the Guardian and be the talk of your scene.
 
I'm not sure of the legality of driving a tracked vehicle on the road, a wheeled tank would be fine and dirt cheap to insure.

So long as you've got road tracks on it's quite legal. But at the moment they've only raised enough to buy a trailer or similar...

i feel tracks are needed - like to see them trying to clamp them - and would love to see them trying to remove it as well, a real challenge for the council:cool:
 
i think i may have found a tank for free.
and a massive supply of velvet :)

oh and the massive supplier of velvet said they're also willing to do the fitting.
and chesterfield padding was mentioned..

like this:

but more tank-ish.
 
new a cav officer who had had his scorpion driven into Salisbury once it was'nt the tracks that foiled them it was lack of windscreen wipers where do you put the ticket :D
 
I'm so not going to read this whole thread so I have no idea if you found one or not. or if the thing you wanted it for has been and gone. (didn't even read the OP tbh) so I'll apologise now for being a prize idiot. :)

Have you tried John Gladden, he's a Croydon businessman. He used to have a yello tank.

What better way indeed? Sounds like an ace idea to me! :rolleyes:


p.s.

Contrary to popular opinion, the hijackers aren't all art school types. We are computer geeks, students, professional knitters, unemployed, independent cinema managers, art students, instrument makers, charity workers, projectionists, graffiti writers, ethical fashion designers, campaign organisers, teachers, doctors, dj's, free party organisers, underwear models, school children, photographers, lawyers, and porn stars to name but a few. :p

Yea that's right people should have stayed at home and gaffawed instead of going to the demos in Seattle and Prague becasue they obviously couldn't close those down.

*checks calender*

Nope, still pretty sure the problem's at your end, mate.

Even if there was the tiniest little chance of shutting down DSEi a la Seattle or Prague, what would that achieve? What concrete gains were made among all the arrests and serious injuries in every other summit protest over the last few years?

The formation of countless relationships of international solidarity?
Or is that too ephemaral?

They could have sprung up from anything. You could have organised an annual fun run where large groups of anarchists run through a major high street bollocko, with prizes for whoever shoplifts the best outfit along the way and it would have built up relationships, networks of support, etc.

What have summit protests ever achieved that is unique to summit protests?
