Fuck the royal wedding - mass black block demo planned!

Black block anarchist | 16.04.2011 15:30

Thousands of black block anarchists will descend on central London on April the 29th to seriously disrupt the royal wedding celebrations. Spread the word and come down to central London on April the 29th. Get there before 11am before the royal procession starts.

Bullshit

It seems as if the media are determined to create an anarchist protest where there is none. You're either trying to stir up a demo on behalf of a newspaper or naive.

Is it a fake?

16.04.2011 16:41

I agree with other commenters that this interview with an 'anarchist organiser' may well be a fake. After all, who would be dumb enough to talk to the Standard and pose with a hammer, surgical gloves etc, and give away info on black bloc tactics? I suspect this could either be a police divide and rule ruse, ie, giving fake info to the media in a bid to stoke up tension and create disunity, or a complete fabrication by the gutter press.

At the same time, I wouldn't put it past some to talk to the media like this, as it has happened in the past. Those, such as Chris Knight and a few others trying to make names for themselves, seriously need to question the wisdom of talking to the media about plans for action. And the rest of us need to question the acceptability of that. There's no place for celebritydom in a black bloc - let's stick together and shut the fuck up.

Every article in the standard is true

16.04.2011 16:53

The article in the standard is either a bad attempt by the POLICE to hype things up, some idiot having a laugh quite possibly fash or the Standard itself. There is no basis in reality at all. As someone with his ear to the ground there is NOTHING PLANNED. We would probably have to fight the Army,public and police. The best thing we all could do is not watch the telly (if your daft enough to own one) or listen to the radio.
CLASS FUCKING WAR

thanks officer!

Thanks officer - it's nice to know the police will be hard at work framing the anarchists while everyone else is utterly indifferent to two rich idiots getting hitched.

Does anyone actually care about this bullshit? it's a media invitation to riot, a media showcase to achieve nothing and show the world we're a bunch of violent thugs, don't fall for this, don't go, there are more important things right now to riot about.

If we riot, they'll say we must be stopped, if we don't they'll congratulate themselves on the effective policing (or non-policing), catch 22, but we have NOTHING to gain by disrupting this pointless opiate for the masses.

I beg you, don't go, and don't do anything stupid, in fact the only useful thing you can do is go and watch the wedding, get arrested for not doing anything and claim compensation (then donate some of it). but please don't just give them the excuse because this one is not worth it.

Use this...

A much better idea!
Let's see how long it takes to report that we will be *everywhere*

if the kids did get stuck in a whole new heap of laws would appear....can you imagine - the gits would have it sewn up tight after that...

...everyone dressed in black in London would be jailed from then on, every poor sod of a goth in the UK would be labeled a"Domestic Extremist" and hunted down like wild beasts....

i say stay at home and do something less boring instead....

....Although if Chris Black were to give us a time he plans the mass nude balaclava street lock down it might be worth tuning in just to see how the Met handle that one...

bleep

A plan

17.04.2011 23:37

If you do go...everyone dress in black and turn up, then do nothing at all. Sue if they arrest, will be funny in any case.

Published by The Standard, and, whaddya know, the "anarchist" in their photo just happens to have a copy of the evil left-wing rival newspaper The Guardian among his arsenal of weapons!

An obvious fake.

If anarchists really want to disrupt the cops then stay away from the Royal Wedding and enjoy seeing the tabloid / police "analysis" of this manufactured threat being exposed for the stunt it really is

When protest movements start to cross-over and attract widespread support, history teaches the employers / establishment always try to use extremist infiltrators and scare stories to discredit, disrupt and divide sucessfull movements. It's US that should be dividing them (turn the anti-Clegg and anti-AV Lib Dems against the pro-Clegg Lib Dems, turn the cops who are going to get cut against the cops who reckon they're in it for life, etc) not the other way round

Newsnight

ZZZ!

19.04.2011 21:05

The Met are so fucking pathetic to be stooping to this daftness???

Anarchists have bettter things to do than go to some chinless wedding and get knicked.

Give up, we aren't biting!
