Saturday is a good day for shouting...

heather | 09.03.2004 22:34

there are three things happening in manc, football, labour crap and st patricks, so on sat
why aren't we even trying to bring this shit together..


our effort..

a chant (because what unites people? - lets go for the fact that this is the city we live in and how much is the labour crap is going to cost)

in the form of a football chant..
(ARE YOU READY TO JOIN THE MINISTRY AND DO IT??)

Its simple..

here we go..

"MANCHESTER SEZ GET OUT OF OUR CITY"
FUCK OFF BACK TO LONDON
FUCK OFF BACK TO L0NDON

and

MANCHESTER SEZ STUFF YOUR COUNCIL TAX
TAKE YOUR WAR PLANS
FUCK OFF BACK TO LONDON
FUCK OFF BACK TO LONDON

MANCHESTER SEZ GET OUT OF OUR CITY#
FUCK OFF BACK TO LONDON
FUCK OFF BACK TO LONDON

OK, it may be just a touch Manchester centric but on the day when the Labour circus is coming to town, and we are paying for this shit, I don't see why a little civic pride is out of order..

and it makes a change from..

BUSH, BLAIR WE KNOW YOU, DADDY WAS A KILLER TOO

just a thought,
anyone got any other ideas for chants..
because we will be there, where ever and when ever the Ministry is ready

The Ministry wishes to say

that it has no comment on anyone who wishes to say "fuck off back to London".

Indeed, "if in fact, the Ministry were allowed contact with foreigners, it would be discovered that they are creatures similar to themselves, and that most of what they have been told about them are lies. The sealed world in which the Ministrys lives would be broken, and the fear, hatred and self-righteousness on which their morale depends might evaporate".

The Ministry says:

"Do you begin to see what kind of world we are creating? A world of fear and treachery and torment, a world of trampling and being trampled upon, a world which will grow not less, but more merciless as it refines itself. Progress in our world will be progress towards more pain"

Just saw this chant on Bristol Indymedia
Perhaps it could be set to a tune and more lines added

"TONY BLAIR, HYPOCRITE. TONY BLAIR, FULL OF SHIT

Any poets out there?

Hey a coach is coming from Bristol ...perhaps its going to be BIG

heres another thought and maybe some plans

how about a conga? the chant would work if sung to the tune of a conga... a conga could weave through the march or as much around it as people feel happy to do. why? because its different and its fun - and its hard to fight with people who are conga-ing. a big enough *fuck off back to London* or *peace* conga (whichever you prefer) would maybe be able to pull in some of the football and the st pats day peeps...

these are just thoughts, mr policeman (god, you must get so bored)reading indymedia all day and making threats to use rubber bullets and imprisonment on protesters who dare to walk or do scary congas on the streets they actually pay for if they pay council tax..
absolute crap. stop threatening people.

so, rants apart, lets cheer this march up..

The Ministry says:

"the consciousness of being at war, and therefore in danger, makes the handing over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, unavoidable condition of survival"
