Anarchists plan to target the royal wedding

Anarchist | 18.04.2011 19:05

Scotland Yard officers are working urgently to identify the extremists who clashed with police and attacked landmarks on Saturday March 26 before they can strike again. Commander Bob Broadhurst, the head of public order for the Metropolitan Police, warned that the anarchists would be "deliberately targeting" the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29.

The concern for me is that they do what they did yesterday in central London and divert resources away from my security plan and take our eye off the ball security wise," he said. Source:-

There are NO PLANS for 'anarchists' to disrupt the wedding. Some cop or press hack keeps posting this crap.

The Torygraph story is from 27 March, and Broadhurst wants to increase his budget.

Besides that, 'Police Intelligence' is an oxymoron.

We know the mainstream media are desperate for a 'riot porn' scare story, but stop repeating this garbage.

Are you a designated spokesman for the Anarchists?
Or is this just your personal opinion?
Thanks

Mainstream media

who is charlie veitch?

18.04.2011 23:04

I mean, wtf?

Loved Broadhurst's "there is a lot of chatter out there, not a lot of intelligence".

Couldnt care either way - but hope people take care while having fun on the day ;)

unnecessary

love police

charlie films stunts where he annoys pigs by being nice to them under the 'love police' banner, or hanging around generally making a nuisance of himself in order to test the boundaries of our civil liberties.

my guess is he was approached by a camera crew and thought it would be amusing to spout a load of bollocks about plans for the royal wedding a la chris knight.

Here's what we should do

19.04.2011 05:46

We should bake the newly married couple a lovely vegan cake, and write a nice letter wishing them the best of happiness and joy, and asking them to stop the cuts (nicely)

That will show them!

ROYAL WEDDING: ANARCHISTS PLAN SEX PROTEST

"God Save the Queen - F**k the Cuts

19.04.2011 07:30

According to the TV news report "Charlie Veitch is an ex-City banker" - ie - another Mark Kennedy by any other name.

The media are desperate to smear and divide the anti-cuts movement - much as i hate the Royal Family the best strategy is to fly banners saying "God Save the Queen - F**k the Cuts" and deprive Rupert Murdoch and the Police of the spectacle they're so desperate to manufacture

From the Telegraph article:

"paint bombs and fireworks loaded with coins."

There are a whole number of reasons as to why this is not true, but I will just point out the obvious: it wouldn't work. As you can see from the diagram in the link, all available space in a firework is taken up with the bursting charge, and it would also be impossible not to damage the time delay fuse.

wtf? veitch

19.04.2011 09:43

who the fuck is this guy? What a massive dickhead.

heyhey

reminds me of the time when people on indymedia the same about banks

19.04.2011 17:38

Anyone who thinks anarchists arn't up to no good with the wedding is an idiot.

You lot said the same about the banks, and next minute you were wrecking them.

Oh yeah, and what about the attack on their car?

I hate anarchists. They treat everyone like idiots and think they are so shit hot.

complete cunt

LOL - fantasy press - gotta laugh

19.04.2011 20:35

According to the Express, anarchists will have the numerical equivalent of 10 regiments or 50 battalions present on the day.

British Army, look out, here comes the black bloc!

Is there that many anarchists in Europe?

straight forward answers

"Is there that many anarchists in Europe?"

They are and remain a tiny, tiny, minuscule minority of the population trying to dictate to everyone else how to lead their lives the bunch of selfish cunts. That is why we all ignore you and laugh when the police kettle you.

Express quote - LOL

20.04.2011 03:23

I dont know why the quote didnt show the first time.

""" Last week, the Sunday Express revealed how up to 40,000 anarchists are planning to wreak havoc when Prince William marries Kate �Middleton. """

http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/239808/Royal-Wedding-Anarchists-plan-sex-protest

Are they serious? That is enough for 50 battalions. Surely they mean "up to 400", judging by the cuts riot?

40,000 black bloc on a nude rampage against the royal wedding with nothing on but black balaclavas and lipstick? The gutter press gets worse and worse!

Shine on

Im grateful for colourful anarchists like Charlie Veitch and Chris Knight, so many other anarchists take themselves too seriously. Heres to lots of zany and disruptive fun on the day of the royal wedding.

Shit by tabloid hack Rebecca Camber in today's Daily Mail

20.04.2011 20:01

There's some shit by tabloid hack Rebecca Camber in today's Daily Mail about how police "are considering a series of pre-emptive strikes, which could see anarchists being hauled from their beds and arrested on the morning of the wedding" and about how plod are "monitoring social networks for chatter"... obviously not the chatter on Indymedia! Either way - if you're an anarchist who's known to the police, stay over a mate's house on the morning of the wedding. Hey presto... cops off the streets chasing up blind alleys and you not in custody... result. Concentrate on Mayday instead

As for Muslim fanatics having a carve-up with the EDL, with these 2 groups it's hard to tell which is the tail and which is the dog, but either way they're welcome to chase each other.
