Oh really? Now remember this: “I never thought I would say this but we have to take whatever steps necessary to stop this war. If that means taking direct action like blocking the roads and railways then so be it!” Encouraging words from Tony Benn. Just one problem. He said that in Hyde Park over five years ago and fuck all has happened since then.

Another particularly loud and angry section are a contingent of Somali refugees who are totally pissed off about the occupation of their country by US backed Ethiopian troops which no one seems to care about.
Don’t get wrong. Not everyone is up for taking direct action over issues like genocide in Iraq/Palestine/Somalia/Afghanistan ect. Some folks want to take part in a lawful demo which is fine, and their choice. But if the STWC want the coverage they crave and to make even the smallest impact then they have to start being a bit more creative than a strategy of cooperation with the Police and government. These marches got boring a long time ago and now the numbers are visibly dwindling.
