If this is genuine then what good will it do apart from pissing a few people off. If you're full of rage then join a boxing club mate.

guess it goes without saying to ignore the trolls - most of them are coppers / intel anyways.
most importantly - next time you and your crew go out on a mission be sure to bring a digital camera and record your actions - you can always delete the pics once you have upped them to UKindy at a net-cafe via the secure connection, then you can just use the pics from your posts on here to repost on other newswires around the planet. pictures provide affirmation and inspiration for further actions by others - not just in the UK but all across the occupied planet!

Nice one! fuck the banks and the rich

28.12.2008 14:25

Nice one to whoever did this. Long may you remain free.

The banks get massive cash handouts of taxpayers' money because of their own fuckups, so fuck em. They deserve all they get. Better still than attacking cash machines would be going for the mansions where the people who run them live. Why should they live in peace when the greedy bastards fuck over ordinary people?

"guess it goes without saying to ignore the trolls - most of them are coppers / intel anyways. "

You are an idiot.

Believe it or not it's possible to criticise or question the usefulness of a particular action without being in the pay of the cops or intelligence services.

But of course it's easier to live in fantasy land where anyone not with us is working for The Man (tm)...

good work

28.12.2008 15:20

we need to stop thinking that only through demos and protests can we attack the state, everyday direct action against the states institutions is whats needed.

PIGS WILL PAY!

rather pointless really

28.12.2008 17:32

the fact is you can't just 'kick off' what happened in greece by starting a cycle of vandalism and sabotage over here - what happened in Greece is due to a fucking stupid police force and a history of political dissent that we simply do not have. By all means send a message of solidarity to Greece, but you're focussing on the wrong part of the revolt - the burning of banks and luxury shops are great, but its the occupations, popular community assemblies and strikes which are actually going to create any lasting framework for change.

Not that there is much point in debating this, i have a very clear idea of who does these kinds of things and we fundamentally disagree on what 'the point' of revolt is. For you lot the revolt is an end in itself.

Finally - good to see smashed up banks, but cashpoints? We need those thanks. I need to buy food. You can't force a gift economy on britain by smashing cashpoints.

PS - the critiscisms made here are probably not made by cops. Thats neither here nor there. But cops *do* read this site. So be careful. Don't make these posts from anyone's home computer.

history of brit dissent

28.12.2008 22:33

so we don't have clueless cops who shoot innocent people dead in tube stations?
or a history of massive uprisings such as the poll tax riots? i think there is a point to
direct action. i can remember a time before the internet in the 80s in the UK when actions like
this took place on a regular basis and word was spread via fanzines and leaflets. don't listen to the naysayers or the merchants of disinfo...keep it up!!

there is a point

SORRY BUT U MAKE ME LAUGHT..DONT SEND THE POSTS FROM ANY HOME COMPUTER ?? I NEED THE CASH MACHINES TO BUY MY FOOD... .. first topic _ i know what i do ..second topic instead buying food or steal it from big companies or go and skip .... if u need place sto skip i can give many many places .....stop bitching so much about other people and do samething ...

Brit dissent, uprisings and sabotage

30.12.2008 12:54

"so we don't have clueless cops who shoot innocent people dead in tube stations?
or a history of massive uprisings such as the poll tax riots?"

Well yes. But they don’t arise from nothing without context. The poll tax riots came out of a background of a huge social movement against an attack on pretty much an entire class, hitting them in their daily life and pockets… hundreds of local anti-poll tax groups, demos, leafleting, door to dooring, 2 years of hard campaigning. There would never have been all those riots at the town halls or the Trafalgar Square demo/kickoff without this movement.

I too remember the 80s. But all the sabotage actions like Stop Business as Usual, attacking fur shops, gluing bank doors, smashing windows of Barclays etc etc, while being fun, and pissing off the local shopkeepers/bourgeoisie, made little real financial impact on multinational capitalism… And didn’t start any uprisings. Few uprisings, even proper riots, are started by activists on their own. If we genuinely want to overthrow class society and turn banks into playgrounds and dancehalls it’ll need more than small groups of moonlighting Zorros, it’ll take huge widespread questioning of the way we live under this society and a willingness for people to act on that, both constructively and destructively. This may seem possible in some places, although kind of distant in Britain at the minute (witness that unlike in Greece or even the police shooting of Cherry Groce in 1985 not a mile from Stockwell, the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes didn’t even start a riot). Maybe the uncertain times we are entering will bring it on… maybe not. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of autonomous sabotage, but on the flip side, most of us also under this society DO need access to cash in banks to survive; (unless we have rich daddys like some of the insurrection now folk I have met).
All those who say we can all survive by eating skipped food - food doesn't grow in skips, its there as a side product of the consumer society that exists. Without that it wouldn't be there. Calling those of us who don't live entirely without paying for anything stooges for capitalism might make some people feel morally superior and free from this social system, but you aren't.
It’s worth picking targets that people identify with but that don’t actually make life harder for others of us.

Its easy to class anyone who disagrees with you as a cop or ‘intel’, but unhelpful. Good way to increase divisions, which serve s whose purposes? In fact most provocateurs I have come across are always the most keen to encourage illegal actions and draw others in to sabotage, violence etc… This isn’t to say everyone who does this is a cop, but it is an established tactic.

What’s a troll by the way?

Anarchists are losers. They are content to have nothing because they spend all their time being destructive. Divided they will fall when they get a bit older and want stuff so have to get a job.
