Space Hijackers SELL OUT to LOCOG?

Luther Predictable | 10.07.2012 13:19

Space Hijackers have been in negotiations with LOCOG for exclusive protest rights, it seems.

A group of Space Hijackers left the official law firm of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games (LOCOG) on Monday, clutching what looked to be some sort of legal agreement. They were pictured shaking hands with a suited man outside on the pavement before trying to make their getaway. Make what you will of the pictures.

Take photos of yourselves, post them to IMC and try to create a controversy ?

O Dear Space Hijackers, whatever happened to you ?

Good try no cigar

I wish these Middle Class wankers and their "actions" would just fuck off, they add nothing to the movement and waste energy and people's time with their self serving stunts. This is obviously staged and will be one more day wasted before joining Daddies law firm. I take pleasure from knowing that most of Space Invadors will be with Mummy and Daddy in the South of France for the summer.

In ten years I've never once come across Space Hijackers doing anything other than making a complete arse of not only themselves, but every cause they have been 'attached' to. They have been, from the get go, a complete waste of everybodies time and energy.

Everytime a major protest has been in the offing, these clowns have showed up and tried to hijack it for their own ends. They are exactly the same as the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army. How the fuck are people supposed to take a protest seriously if these jokers turn up and turn it into something to laughed at!

This story is so obviously rubbish and a complete stunt. Its the old hold your papaerwork up for all the camera's to see so we can all have a read. I though only government ministers did that sort of thing?

Frankly, I'm surprised they are still around!

Very staged.

Yeah, if only the middle class wankers would stop getting involved in politics. Life would be so much better if it was only a few of us protesting and there was only one accepted way to protest. At least that way we could concentrate on what we were doing without distractions, and we could all gear up for the big revolution which is just around the fucking corner. I swear it's only because of idiots like these space hijackers that we've not already overthrown the tories, and set up the worlds most progressive and fair anarcho state.

Stop with your media stunts, and get back to getting ready for the proper protests against the olympics.

Yes sir

>> Yeah, if only the middle class wankers would stop getting involved in politics. Life would be so much better if it was only a few of us protesting and there was only one accepted way to protest.

Things would be so much more efficient if you could think for everyone else and they did what you told them. Maybe you should grow a small moustache and organise what everyone is doing according to your master plan.

>> At least that way we could concentrate on what we were doing without distractions, and we could all gear up for the big revolution which is just around the fucking corner.

Yep, thats pretty much what Hitler did.

>> I swear it's only because of idiots like these space hijackers that we've not already overthrown the tories, and set up the worlds most progressive and fair anarcho state.

Suggestion: Set up a party called "Anarchism". Get lots of votes. You will then have beaten the tories. Its foolproof (assuming that everyone else actually wants a progressive anarcho state). No votes = no one is interested. So then you will need to resort to plan B which is getting lots of tanks and infantry, painting yourself a nice logo and having original facial hair.

>> Stop with your media stunts, and get back to getting ready for the proper protests against the olympics.

Anarcho

Smugness

I think most people have missed the irony mate!
Clearly your wit is too superior for us working class

Stunt

diversion from real protests

10.07.2012 21:44

Looks like they are in bed with the organisers who are trying to control the protests. Does anyone recognise these guys? I doubt it is worth the paper it is written on, people will just protest the way they want to. Be interesting to read what is on the documents though, it could be a way of controlling what protesters do through an official written plan to divert from real attempts at protesting

magpie

Good scope.

Nice idea. See how many trolls have stumbled through their word disguises.

I see some scope for thought generation in the general public. "Official Role" holder's credentials being called into question by other official role holders.
True or not, only officially sponsored protestors will be allowed in "olympic zones" ?

It's amazing - Godwin's law: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches" - and only the seventh comment!

That aside - it's a joke, it's meant to be a stunt! It may not to be your taste or mine, it may not be the best use of energy, but it's their choice to do what they want to do. I'd prefer they got off their arses than did nothing.

Hijacking it for their own ends? Do you realise how mainstream you sound (anarchists hijacked the TUC demo etc blah).

When we're doing fuck all against the Olympics (people with ASBO's against them for stopping lorries aside), the easiest thing to do is to criticise other people for doing something, from the safety of our own ego.

Take a deep breath. Get up. Turn away from the computer.

well done
