Labour HQ Occupied!

Emma Goldman | 07.02.2003 12:48

Local activists have stormed Labour Party HQ on Tyneside and have occupied the building demanding the Labour Party stops its terrorist war against the people of Iraq.

At 10am over 30 people stormed Labour's National HQ in North Shields on Tyneside. With little effort they gained entrance to the building and successfully barricaded themselves in the lobby. The group, a motley collection of local direct action heros and some disgruntled ex-Labour members made it loud and clear that enough was enough. The Labour Party has become the Party for War and Business. No one with any conscience can belong to such an organisation. No more measily excuses about useless hopes of reclaiming the Labour Party for the left or any other dreary daydream.
If you're a Labour party member you're part of the problem, you're supporting the idiots who are wrecking our world.
The action has sent the local media into a frenzy and a Conservative M.P is defending Blair against the protestors on Century F.M. It looks like the blockade will end soon without arrests and everyone has a cheeky grin on their faces. This insane war must be stopped.
