We have to go and protest at the New Labour conference in Brighton from September 30th-October 4th!!! Publicity, maximum media coverage and an embarrasment for Tory Blair.

I am going to continue publishing this story until I can convince every socialist, trot, green, anarchist, human rights activist, gayy rights campaigner, pacifist, anarcho-syndicalist, trade unionist, environmentalist, maoist, lenninist, feminist, anti-nuke campaigner, hippy and decent person in the country supports the idea.

Lets have thoughts, suggestions and funny ideas. The link is from when I posted it previously and some of the comments it got.

Funny idea.

Funny ideas for the protest at the New Labour conference?
Yeah I've got one, check this out:

Everyone's been there when someone's puked, right? Sounds horrible, looks horrible, and smells bad enough to make you puke.

So how about a mass puke outside the conference hall? Can you imagine Blair et al having to walk through lakes of sick to get inside? It would stick to their shoes and everything . . . EEUUUCCHHH!!

It would show them how we felt as well. And what could anyone do about it? "Well, its like this your honour, the defendent - with malice aforethought - was copiously sick"

I call, right here and now, for a mass puke-in at New Labour's conference. That's maximum publicity for you.

Projectile vomiters welcome!

Any other ideas?

I don't think it's a good idea to keep posting this story until etc etc - that's a bit of an abuse of the newswire and this website, it's also not a very good way of going about organising a demonstration (or seeding the ideas) - why don't you set up a website, or perhaps easier, set up a mailing list where people can dream, discuss, and debate this idea.

Just stay at home.

It's not worth it. Life's shite. Nothing works. Just stay at home. Oh, no it's all gone horribly wrong. I am the voice of paranoia. Slowly, slowly, paralyze mind and body . . . tendrils of self-doubt and suspicion will radiate out from ny posionous centre into the heart and mind of everyone. Woe, woe. Despair. I am H.A.L. from the SWP. SWP. Recruit, recruit, recruit.

Sorry

17.05.2001 20:28

Sorry about this abuse of the newswire but I don't have the time, the ability or the resources to do this properly, so I tried it the only way I could think of. So I am instead going to go and try leaving messages on relevant websites and try and do it that way.

Sorry.

Website

I think its a great idea, and if you havn;t got the recorurse/ability/whatever yourself, then I'd be more than happy to create a website and look into the prduction of flyers, stickers, etc. Drop me an email if you're intrested.

Way to go, Vanessa

Way to go Vanessa!

It really reaffirmed my belief in human nature and the protest movement to see your comment offering to help Disillusioned Kid. He's obviously pissed off, but doesn't have the experience or knowledge to do what he'd like to about it on his own. Offering to help is going to be a whole lot more productive then simply slagging off someone who cares.

H.A.L. - whoever you are:
You're an arsehole. Some poor bastard, obviously a bit young and inexperienced posts up something which is just a teeny bit outside editorial guidelines, and you flame the guy. Shame on you. Couldn't you be just a little bit less negative, and little bit more supportive, like everyone else who's posted up replies? You scumbag.

Disillusioned Kid - we're with you. Not H.A.L.
