why not do something positive instead - donate the money from the lighter fuel and matches you wanted to buy to a 3rdworld charity.

Instead of creating disgust to your cause in the media and among those who watched violence erupt on their TVs you could do somehing positive for the people you claim you are trying to help.

Why is violence the way forward? Does that make you any better than the big corporportions you say are exploiting thers? No.

Surely helping to buy clothes, food, blankets etc would be a better way forwayd instead of pointlessly setting fire to a shop.

is that committed by the state. people were trying to do something positive today, but the fokkin pigs wouldn't let them.

as far as "giving money to charity" goes -- that you consider such a thing -- guilt money -- as a meaningful proactive gesture reveals a lot. it ain't about money, jack.

Congrats & Power to you folks in the UK this MayDay as the Corporate Chains of Slavery are gonna' crash to the ground!
Be strong, the Movement expands as we speak and we will win!

Oxfam can't sustain the Third World, and "charidees" are a SCAM...to make the poor carry the poor.

I came out of Euston Station last night and saw rows of riot police and assumed they must be guarding the station. I soon realized they were foming an impenetrable 'wall of shame' around Railtrack Headquarters. If Railtrack has to conduct business in an area cordoned off by riot squads, this speaks volumes about their shady practises, culpability and contempt for the public they are syphoning billions of pounds from. We the British people are being HAD!

The fourth richest Nation, with the worst rail service?

How much of your food is grown in third world countries?
How many of your clothes are made in third world countries?
Sending it all back is not the solution.
To promote local sustainable economies and dismantle globalizaton is perhaps the answer.
