The police are violent bullies. We all know that. they are scum. there's no point whinging about it. Working class Animal Rights people have had police repression for decades. We now just get on with it, we leave the middle class wannabe AR people in groups like NETCU Watch to whinge about it while the working class ones get on with hutn sabbing and libs etc.

Now it's time for the climate campers to take a beating. The working class campers just got on with it and didn't let the police win. I noticed that it was the middle clas campers that did all the whinging. We had Arthur Scargill at the cloimate camp, over 2 decades ago his working clas miners got on with it and fought the tooled up met, they didn't whinge. Maybe the middle class trustafarians in the camp should have asked him about police violence instead of askign daddy for a new trust fund.

Stop whinging about the fascist cops and get on with what is important -stoping climate change/saving animals. We need more of the class and less of the middle class tourists!

Whinging


Not always the working class

to the above comment... it is wrong to presume that it is the working class who are the only ones out there hunt sabbing, liberating and doing any other alf activity. The animal rights movement is in fact largley middle class and it is people from all backgrounds that take part in actions, not one class while the other class just mill about wingeing.

at the end of the day class doesn't even come into it.. it is the individual who chooses to winge or not, and the individual who chooses to act to save animals, the environment, or other humans.. regardless of class. all that matters is whether people act or not. they are all anonymous in their actions and they are all equal..

Whinging or media?

I don't quite see how posting footage of something is whinging. This after all and INDEPENDENT MEDIA resource...

It's better than most of the unsubstantiated clap trap that gets posted on here...
