Educate the public, to counteract the government propaganda flooding the media.

Having been unable to attend the Big Bash, or as the mainstream media would have it "the burning down of London" I was able to follow the events through the day on the net.

It was remarkable the stark contrast in reporting from all sources and the inflamatory nature of much of the mainstream. However it has highlighted the danger of what has happened over the past few weeks, the police by emphasising the so called anrcho-threat were able to set the agenda for news production, and a lot of braodcasters have been willing to follow this line. Journalists generally are alright people, and as with all workers they are under corporate production pressures, they therefore have little time to analysis the situation and generally will repeat the information provided to them from agencies (these could be police or other agencies).

The point is don't let the police hijack Mayday for their own justification, talk to people, and those that were in London yesterday get "your" story out. Bombard the mainstream media with letters, e-mails, empty crips packets, pigeon shit, or what ever get your story out.

Revenge is sweet Crusties

As counteraction to the May Day Reclaim the Streets Protests the following is proposed:
INTERNATIONAL CITY DAY OF ACTION
Next Friday will be the International City Day of Action. On this day, We ask you all to don your finest pinstripe, apply your monocles, glue Mobile phone to ear and then head off down to Brighton to disrupt as many dredlocked soap dodging men and women with dogs on string as possible.
Plan of action:
* to picket henna tattoo stalls
* throw cheap pewter jewellery into the sea
* occupy the dole office and glue the doors shut
* throw soap and other cleansing materials at the men with dogs on string
* dig up the road and line it with photocopies of huge salary slips
* hang the dogs on string with their string as a little ironic joke
* blockade the promenade with open top sports cars
* buy up all local supplies of scrumpy, special brew, snake bite and black, and roll ups - then throw them all in the sea
Police advice to all crusties at present: "Get a job you scrounging b*stards"

URGENT !


NICE ONE

I am impressed by the degree of compassion in your comment, truly remarkable. Perhaps you could get a job in the Baby Bayoneting Unit of the Government? U mug.

Perhaps if your parents had their legs blown off by a land mine (planted for the protection of western economic interests) you would think differently?
