UK Direct Action: April Roundup Pt1

Liberationist | 16.04.2008 08:49 | World

Anti-racism, anti-arms, pro-squatting & animal rights direct action from the last couple of weeks...

Action report-Angel Group targetted (14th)

As part of the days of action in support of squats and autonomous spaces-
Action at Angel Group- building graffitied, locks glued, 12 company vehicles damaged.

On the night of Friday 11th April offices of Angel Group came under attack. This was part of the days of action in support of squats and autonomous spaces.
Angel group make their money by providing poor quality housing for asylum seekers, profitting from vulnerable people and racist asylum laws.

This company were targetted as part of the days of action in support of squats and autonomous spaces because housing is a right, not a means to make profit. This company are known to exploit their position of providing housing to vulnerable people who are not in a position to complain, getting away with providing substandard accomodation.

The front of the Angel group offices were redecorated, slogans painted, and locks glued. 12 company vehicles were attacked with paint stripper, spray paint, and had their tyres slashed.

This should send a message to Angel that their racist business will not be tolerated.

Pixies attack EDO (10th)

Smash EDO

In the small hours of last night the pixies struck yet again at EDO MBM.

Mindless vandals defaced EDO's shiny new signs and took out those expensive looking CCTV.

The pixies wish to highlight the repression of the campaign since the buyout of EDO by ITT to gave them the new name shITT to welcome their visitors.

Smash EDO! Smash ITT!

Hunt scum make it easy (8th)

anonymous report:

"'Keep on Hunting - Countryside Alliance' People who display these
stickers in the back windows of their cars just make our job easier.
This particular hunt scums 4x4 was parked in central Grimsby so we
treated it with the respect they deserve, scratched the left side
doors and carved scum into the paintwork on the bonnet.

No justice, just us.

B&K Universal supplier targeted (7th)

received anonymously:

"When Kingston Communications isn’t busy running corporate and business monopolies it seems to enjoy providing services for Bantin & Kingman Universal. A scummy breeder that supplies animals including dogs, mice, rats, and primates to hell holes like Huntingdon Life Sciences and Covance.
If you profit from contracts that involve blood money we are forced to take the profit motive out of the equation. This time it was just paint and permanent markers on your lovely cream coloured phone boxes KC, next time we’ll smash and torch them.
This is a warning to anyone who deals with B&K, HLS or Covance! Cut your contracts or we’ll cut them for you.
A.L.F"

Butchers market stalls glued (4th)

received anonymously from activists in the UK:

"Late on the night of April the 2nd, nine of the freshly refurbished
market stalls were targeted on the famous Norwich market in
England. The nine market units belonging to at least three different
Butcher 'Businesses' had all their locks glued & messages reading
'Meat Is Murder' & 'Until the Suffering Ends' were spraypainted on
the walls & shutters of two stalls & both were signed by the ALF
logo.

Unfortunately these were the only gifts we could leave these
butchers. They should consider themselves lucky. This is only the
beginning.

The attacked market stalls were numbers 72, 73, 82, 83, 113, 122,
123, 102 & 103.

If anyone wanted to pay the abusive bastards at Norwich Market a
visit with glue & paint a helpful map & business guide can be found
at this address, www.norwich-market.co.uk. Since Norwich
market has a total of 19 animal abusing stalls including butchers,
fishmongers, leather, wool & fishing tackle salesmen I'm sure
anyone interested would have a wide range to choose from."
