You do know the police have no power over you?

I mean surely you have to realise all that they do is bullshit. The capitalists created a private 'police' force in their early days to defend the bosses from angry workers. Nothing much has changed but the police force have now become the bully boys and girls for the state. It's like they will work, beating, shooting, and setting up, for whoever will pay them the most. Exactly how they should always be seen...

Who is the troll who keeps on about support available at the end of NATO protest

Does anyone know anything about the troll who keeps posting the message `support available in the aftermath` at the end of NATO protest reports?

The Barclays protest was great and I’ve passed it on to numerous interested parties.

FAO the troll who condescendingly writes:

Perhaps he should look after the wellbeing of the victims of NATO’s aggression and expansionist wars all over the world, Libya, Afghanistan, Serbia, and Kosovo (remember the blowing up of the Chinese Embassy in 1999?). NATO or `NATO scum` as the Serbians call them are an aggressive expansionist bunch of mass murderers whose leaders had to hide behind rings of steel and tens of thousands of police and military in Newport last week.

Hi Paul,

Not sure why you think offering emotional support to activists who confronted one of the UK's biggest ever policing operations is trolling. The policing may not have been as violent as expected, but I know for certain that some people have been affected by it.

If you find it condescending, fine; don't use it. Meantime the rest of us will get on with building a movement that is sustainable because it takes trauma and burnout seriously...

Nice action against Barclays

15.09.2014 17:15

It was a nice peaceful action against Barclays. It probably didn't achieve much at all but it did allow people to express their anger about banks, nato, politicians, police and the rest of the shysters who presume they have a role in lording it over us.

That phone number links back to a Wordpress blog site with Bristol links. Given the recent Police seizure of the Bristol Indymedia server, which turned out to be running on US Wordpress software I would consider it, the phone number and any communication from it to be compromised and thus useless to anyone but the police and security services..
