this posting looks very much like a police trolling op.
the critical mass bike ride is an established procession, exempt from public order laws, as ruled in the high court.
by posting an "anarchist anti-olympic protest" starting from the same point as the usual critical mass, the poster is effectively giving the police an excuse to intervene. they can claim they have "intelligence" that anarchists are planning to disrupt the olympics, blah blah blah.
wonder who'd gain most from this post then?
as one of the comments observed, be canny this month if you're attending the mass. don't let yourself get kettled. there's thousands of police and even troops with not much to do. a kettle isn't out of the question. even mass arrests are possible - for once they do have the manpower.
i'm not suggesting for one moment that people should stay away, nor that they shouldn't drum up support, just remember this is a critical mass, not an "anarchist's attempt to disrupt the olympics".
by the way, i have nothing against real anarchists, in fact some of them are among my best friends.

This month's Critical Mass will be on the same night as the olympic opening ceromony, so its going to be a good one.

PC fuckwit of the yard..ies.
no protest

Anarchists would be ignored, but there won't be any.
There is some sort of outside (system) pressure to force a protest. It will not occur.
As far as I'm aware this will be a Pro-Olympics Critical Mass. We will be dressing up in Olympic fashion and celebrating the Olympics.
Some other folks have suggested cycling in south london and avoiding any possible conflict.

Why do anarchists spend their live objecting to things?
21.07.2012 07:06
No one is interested. This shit should of stopped when you left the playground
I hope the police get more powers to stop this self-serving nonsense by a tiny minority of troublemakers.

Back in June 1999 anarchists made a tremendous impact

Anarchists can sometimes pull of amazingly huge actions.

critical mass is NOT an anti olympics protest.

this post definitely looks like somebody trying to bait up the critical mass by the state.
i personally hope we wont go anywhere near the thousands of murdering troops and cops that will be on the streets.
@narcho
Critical mass is what you want it to be

nope

I live near one of the temporary jails which has been built and I don't want to go any closer to it just because a bunch of half-wits want to wipe their fat arses over a legal, anarchic event without your chosen motivations

This is a great opportunity

All we'll be doing is cycling and if anyone tries to stop us they will look like the thugs they are.
Read the comments in the trash papers-even they are mostly aginst the games.

Fuck off-any protest against the shit we face is good and if more people turned up we can kettle the cops. Ignore anything with the word troll in it and get everyone you know to the streets-starting this Friday at 6pm by Waterloo Bridge. The Olympics are so wrong it is your duty to express your disgust-and not just on the internet. To the streets!

Because it's clearly someone who don't know crap about anarcho-libertarianism. This is an 'anarchic' event. In other words the idea that a self-selecting exterior group of thugs wishes to 'fan out' into the mass in order to cause trouble...it's deeply disrespectful.
If you're going to turn up to CM, have respect for the house rules! The decision making process occurs on site, at the time.
