Shocking!

This is so elitist! This man seems to be on his own and not part of a mass movement. And that looks like writing on a bomb, and that's illegal - not something you're going to get ordinary blokes like me supporting. There's no room for illegal, elitist actions like this in our movement, it just puts people off.

Thank God he didn't put swear words on the bombs - that would have been obscene!

Fuck off you communist idiot

...that really is enough. You really don't have bo be part of some group or organisation to do actions of any sorts..because of course you'd be doing it for the people anyway!...all of the people including animals!..or whatever. Maybe you'd just do it for the sky! Thats the best way to do actions...the best way that protest sites starts...for people just to get up and do it!...either singly or in groups and NOT decided initially by some sort of deadening maosist committee meeting. What I'm talking about is anarchy...real anarchy ...free floating vibration! Liberation...magic...empowerment...reality change!

Thank you for this action!

Jah Liberation!

...your irony detectors are not switched on today! Of course, king whatsit could have done the ordinary bloke posting as well, to set up his point-missing reply. I'd guess he's a head-twisty 23 style situationist. enough theories already! Great action and pictures, hank you...

If any UK bases are being used at the moment to concretely support the current Falluja massacre?

Please could you post details of the access point you used. As a military historian I am very interested in exploring this place. Thank you.
