Hereford Anarchists! | 07.05.2010 09:20 | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | Birmingham

Hereford anarchists where the main feature on local radio last night after they disrupted the ballot count to offer out the BNP candidate! one activists fully masked up and carrying an red and black flag entered the room full of hundreds of people shouting "come out John oliver you facist scumbag" and "show yourself you filthy nazi" only moments before Chris Gower the local organiser had glitter thrown in his face and the candidate John Oliver Recieved a egg to the front of his suit and a good kick to the back of his legs.
No parasan!
No Arrests Made!

From the Hereford Times:

THE singing and dancing has already begun at the general election count in Hereford.

But the noise is coming from a group of anarchists protesting against the voting process.

The group of around 20 have also shouted anti-fascist songs aimed at the British National Party candidate and his supporters who have just arrived at the Hereford Leisure Centre.

One anarchist even managed to enter the leisure centre and shouted "preaching Nazi scum" at the volunteers counting the votes.

He was quickly escorted outside the building by security.

The anarchist banners included the phrases "voting changes nothing" and "my grandparents did not vote for fascists, they shot them".

The Hereford Times were told to go away in no uncertain terms when they approached the protesters for an interview.

"voting changes nothing" - pity ol' Pankhurst went to all the trouble, silly girl.As for those Chartists...well as workers they should have just killed everyone who disagreed with them.

"my grandparents did not vote for fascists, they shot them".- but only for 5 years, then we got on with shooting communists which we did for 40 years (work in progress).

So someone got into a sports hall with the intent to stop the people haveing any voice at all, nice, very democratic, is this the future you dream of...one man one vote...but your the man and its your vote?

Notwithstanding our desire to live in a fascist free world, these so called 'anti-fascists' bare an uncanny resemblance to the straight 'fascist'.

Silly infantile gesture politics, conceived of in absentia of philosophy, gestated in the public bar and disgorged at the feet of the electorate.

Take your student politics and stuff it you pathetic hypocrites.

All I need to say!
Except why abuse the people counting the votes? They're not 'volunteers' except that they would be local government workers who have voluntarily asked to some overtime work counting the votes. They do get paid for it. And if they've volunteered to do overtime work well into the night it is probably because they're not the best paid local government workers, nor very far up the hierarchy.

Am I the only one not detecting any violence in the whole incident. Really now if throwing an egg and some glitter on someone is a violent act then what exactly do we call voting for and actively supporting the bombing and occupying of people in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq (only in the past decade) as did a good proportion of candidates in that room. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. I'm not even going to get started with their violent economic policies abroad.


Let's get some perspective here shall we. No one stopped the people from voting for these murdering thieves.

What actually happened...

07.05.2010 13:45

Volunteers were not abused, rosette wearing candidates and their minions were were abused.

The person who got into the hall was verbally abusing the BNP and UKIP candidates.

stop with the feminism for fucks sake.(on this topic)
voting changes nothing, whether you're a woman or a man.
fucking ell, maybe back in the day when she ran in front of the horse, it fucking hurt and it went towards the 'whole' suffragette cause - on top of and adding to the general struggle for women's lib -so please get over it, no offence, genuinely no offence, but no one can honestly think that a vote in this country does anything to reduce the mess that global elitists capitalists - men and women, some of the really fucking evil ones can be women too you know - have gotten us in to.
but no offence, etc.

preaching Nazi scum?

Why was this shouted at the counting staff?

true brummie


Infantile spectacle

I'm sure this infantile spectacle endeared these loons to the good people of Hereford.

It's precisely this sort of silly Judean People's Front-type stunts that give the left a reputation as loons. Pure self-indulgence.
