300,000 to attend carnival against capitalism on June 9th

Anti-capitalist | 16.05.2013 11:01

300,000 are expected to attend the carnival against capitalism in central London on June the 9th as tens of thousands of European anti-capitalist intend to travel to London for the event. That will make it the biggest anti-capitalism protest since the anti-G8 summit protest of July 2001 in Genoa in Italy

Video footage of the 300,000 strong anti-G8 summit in Genoa in Italy in July 2001:

Greek anarchists

Its on June the 11th but events will run throughout the week

The carnival itself is on June the 11th but events will run throughout the week. By the way lets hope that there are even more than the predicted 300,000 who are expected to attend this event.

What a stupid attempt at self promotion and trying to whip up a media frenzy. I'd be surprised if you needed more than 2 hands to count the number of Greek anarchists that will be over for this.

Barely anyone I know is going, and publicity has been shit, and it's been badly planned. I predict a damp squib of a event, with some minor pointless clashes and scuffles and lots of attempts at crap actions.

Hilarity

Daily Mail/tabloid sources creation?

There have been several of these daft, infantile postings recently, featuring clumsy 'activist' propaganda. It reminds me of some years back in the run up to a summit in Dublin, when the Irish edition of the Sun ran with the headline 'WE'll gas Bertie' (referring to then taoiseach Bertie Ahern) and went on to claim a 'sinister Anarchist' group planned to gas 10,000 people at the summit (

http://www.indymedia.ie/article/64558 ) . Whether or not it is the case here, lazy right wing journos can just create their own sources in order to source their crappy articles and stir up public fear; consequences of which are that protest turnouts are lower and the public expects and accepts that the police are going to be heavy handed.

Drummer boy.

The MSN is an enemy of right thinking decent freedom loving people all over the world.

Its just a business, nothing more.

When a MSN journo asks you for an interiew, remember that it is only a business proposal, nothing more.

Hundreds of thousands of pissed-off working class people from all over Europe will be attending the Carnival against Capitalism at least two days before it even begins and will make Occupy London look like a vicar's tea party. Such diamond geezers and lasses won't take any more shit and austerity from the financial elite or the bankers or the state and will be ready to ruck the Bill on this one. Even as I write, the vibrations from the trampling feet of the proletatian multitudes, are making my laptop screen woblle slightly.

Multiple choide ending to this post:

A) Oh..i just wet mysef!
B) Oh...that should wind up those wankers on Indymedia
C) Oh...that should see this carnival in the Daily Mail under the headline 'Thousands of anarchists set to besiege the West End'
D) Oh...as a bored coppper who has to read Indymedia for the 'intelligence', that should make sure we get some overtime

The clue that points most to this being posted by a cop or journo is the fact that they got the date wrong - thus hyping up the event for their own purposes without serving any purpose as publicity for the event, because anyone who sees this will end up turning up on the wrong bloody day!

Yup, its a shit stirrer, ultimate proof being that the date is wrong.

Half the comments are probably from the same source.

Lame, so very lame.

The *actual* date of the Carnival Against Capitalism is June 11th:

@ Council Flat Man

Hundreds of thousands of pissed-off middle class people pretending to be working class from all over Europe will be attending the Carnival against Capitalism at least two days before it even begins and will make Occupy London look like a tea for two at The Lanesborough. Such ex-public school radical wannabees and lasses from the Pony Club but who dress in rags won't take any more shit and austerity from the financial elite or the bankers or the state and will be ready to ruck the Bill on this one. Even as I write, the vibrations from the trampling Doctor Martins of the pseudo-proletatian multitudes, are making my laptop screen woblle a bit.

Multiple choide ending to this post:

A) Oh..i just made a dick of myself posing as a working class person who lives in a council flat like all real working class people do when really I am a posh wanker just back from India.
B) Oh..i just made a dick of myself being as a working class person who lives in a council flat with no sense of humour and a potty mouth.
C) Oh...that should see this carnival in the The Sun under the headline 'Yob Toerags to smash Top Shop'
D) Oh...another bored twat who to reads Indymedia.
