Anarchists plan mass riot and disorder for London for September!

Realist | 04.06.2003 13:15

Anarchists are planning a mass riot and major disorder on the scale of the recent anti-G8 riots for London this September. Billed as a demo against the arms trade, anarchists plan to invade an international arms fair exhibition at the Excel Centre in Docklands and smash all equipment on display as well as cause the biggest riot in London this century!

Plans have been drawn up by a wide range of anarchist groups hell bent on causing as much chaos, violence and disorder as possible! The international arms fair in the Excel exhibtion centre is a legitimate event which has the full approval of the government and Parliament. But rather than lobby MPs and raise the issue in Parliament as the activists could easily do, they instead plan to use the arms fair event as an excuse for another anarchist anti-capitalist style riot in London with the sole aim of causing mayhem and destrution and disruption to the lives of ordinary Londoners!

Those arms could be used to kill thousands of people, so what's your problem?

Legitimate??? Duhh. By who's law? Their law, not ours, not the peoples laws.

Approved??? Duhh. By who? Mass Murderers?

Go Anarchists go!!

And how do you KNOW this?

Do you have a hotline to "dialariot"? Or, as appears more likely, have you cut and pasted this from the Dail Mail or some other rag?*


* These questions are purely rhetorical. Don't bother replying as I don't have the remotest interest in your answer.

Silly little troll.

You spend a lot of time posting messages and doing not much else.

The Arms trade is legitimate in the sense that it has been legitimised by a Capitalist trading system,does not mean it is 'legitimate'. yet it would be interesting to see if equipment which is intended for the purpose of killing others and being sold to countries with dubious human rights records constitutes 'legitimacy' in human terms.

People from all walks of life will be attending due to the abhorent nature of this 'legimate' market. CND, Campaign Against the Arms Trade and various other caring individuals will be taking to the streets for the precise reason that lobbying MP's doesn't work. In fact the reason why an alternative movement exists is because the current system fails the people. One only has to look at the process that has been taking place surounding the Euro, GM foods and the war on Iraq to know that the political process has no part in the word democracy.

Last year saw children running down the streets with protesters and the local community positively responding to the legitimate protest. The police prevented any kind of movement which may be deemed illegal later when a court case surrounding the Oxford Street Mayday protest is heard.

So despite the obvious provocative stupidity of the so called 'Realist', it would seem the general public have a far better perception then this poster.

Stop the Arms Trade and save life's.

Realist: Hie thee hence
Get thee gone
Stand not upon the order of your time
But go at once
Be gone and let us have done with you
In the name of God GO!

Help I am a middle aged fat cat nazi old goat, and I am really scared of young people espeacially punks and anarchists, I really hate them, because they keep ruining my arms export buisness, exposing and showing up my shady international arms dealings. Please don't let them do this, I am a helpless rich buisness man who owns a factory of anti personnel land mines, DU tanks and armaments. These people are trying to stop me selling arms to friendly third world tinpot uber capitalist/communist dictatorships, please don't let them do this, these countries like one of our former clients, cuddly entreprenure Mr Soddem, need hi tech armaments to keep their filthy poor peasant scum in line and under control. Places like Indonesia desperately need our weapons to wipe out dissenting islanders. Don't let them stop our arms trade and the wars we need to test our new weapons out in please.

September Anarchy

Is this government propaganda to put off protestors going to Excel?
Or perhaps anarchist propaganda to ensure maximum media coverage?
Either way I'll be there, but not in the mindless violence league. As far as I'm concerned smashing the place up is stooping to the level of the arms traders we're protesting against. Using the might of the law to help victims bring prosecutions against the arms companies has to be the way to go. It's tempting to hit these people in the face but it'll hurt them far more if you hit them in the pocket.
