Why not turn up dressed as rozzers and provoke a disturbance. then do a runner leaving their good name sullied. after all that is what they would do for us!

When the police demonstrate, the people should box them in, confine them for 9 hours, till their bladder's burst, film them, then allow them to leave the area in single file, under raining batton blows. What goes around.......

a c60 is the obvious retort, but thinking more constructively, isn't this more the time to try and reach out to the decent police - of whom there are a few, though it often doesn't seem like it? once police as a group come under the same attacks as other sections of the community that are driven to protest, there's a chance to re-establish our common humanity with some of them and help change attitudes in the rest... establishing comon cause with a few police won't change the world on its own but it maybe could be a chance to help refocus wider community perspectives on the real enemies - the big boys of global capitalism - rather than just resorting to 'fuck tha police'? I dunno. might be worth a try. might not. who knows...

I really wouldlike to see if the"cops" would use the same force they use on any other demostration(of course not)they will go and shout and after a few hours of been with their mates they will go to the pub together.lest hope they get food poisoning.Another thing they lost all their humanity the ay they join the force,and got transform in the mercenays of the state and corporations.

Maybe disgruntled police will join the next anti-capitalist protest?

i think this characters got to the central question of the time...
until now, we have all been operating with a 'frame of reference' based on 1968 (student rebellion) and 1984 (miners strike). when Blair was elected one thing was obvious, but unclear: an old era had passed, and a new one had commenced. we are just beginning to see the strange fruits of these strange days. Look at recent developments:
Blair seizing control of NATO[ #], and proclaiming a National Moral Purpose /Countryside Alliance/ housing estates beset by lynch mobs of army wives/ MPs being dragged off(Mr Galloway) and beaten up (Mr Marsden), spurious diseases on farms, truckers & tractor drivers rising up against oil refineries, and now the coppers are about to protest aginst the Stalinist Blunkett. [*]
We should merely observe at this stage; the cops are angry (among other things )about the proposal to create a part time civil force with full powers of arrest and all the gear such as batons and handcuffs. if THAT can be stopped, all to the best, for we know what kind of people want to play at being bobbies.

[#] think about it. why hasnt bush used NATO in the War against Terror ? Becuase Blair and Russia sneaked in. Who runs the secraetariat ? Mr Robertson MP...

[*] of this be in no doubt. Blunkett, like most other of high ranking Labourites, has a Communist history, even if via the Labour party.

About the only sections of society that are NOT depressed and demoralised are A: financial capitalists B: the army. C: Evangelical christians

The police are demoralised, and so are the parliament, the labour party, the trades unions, farmers, truckers, radical leftists and almost everyone except the above three.

If Blunkett clashes with the coppers, who will carry out his orders?
what a scary thought : a capitalist- army- church alliance. book your ticket abroad now !
