UK, Aberdeen, Against Queens Visit
Aberdeen Anarchist Resistance | 02.06.2002 13:57
WE DON'T NEED PARASITES IN OUR COMMUNITIES!
On 28/05/02 we protested the Queens visit to Aberdeen.
Produced a leaflet highlighting the parasitism of the
royal family, distributing this along part of the route the
Queen would be taking. But it seems as the coppers didn't
agree much... we were stopped 15 minutes later in another
part of the city by two cops in police car, and later
another two came in a van. Told that someone had found our
leaflet offensive, we were asked to turn out our pockets.
But when they searched our bag they found a hundred or so
leaflets and confiscated them, as well as a Greek
newspaper?!?!? They took our names, addresses etc, having
them checked, and said that they will examine the
"material"... and that if we want it back we should contact
them.
So saying in public our opinion about monarchy is
offensive, but it 's not offensive to give a free day to
very young schoolchildren so as to attend the Queens visit
and give 'em flags to wave... children not old enough to
make up their own minds about such things. Brainwashing
anyone ? It's slightly reminiscent of tactics used in every
fascist state (like in Mussolini's Italy), where the state
is bombarding the children with patriotic ideals of
supremacy, with lots of flag waving and boy-scouts parades.
The newspapers said that there were 15000 people to welcome
the queen, but there weren't more than 1000 (600 of them
schoolchildren)!!! That's how the ruling class is rewriting
history...
Solidarity to all anti-monarchy and anti-state actions!
For a stateless society!
NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR
