Livingstone should have been asked for help with anti-Dsei protests

Ken Livingstone the mayor of London said he was dead against the arms fair at Excel so why wasn't he approached to help out with organising the protests against it. He could have been asked to help fund the protests with council money and advertise the protests on the Tottally London website.

I guess you are not happy about the way things went. Me too.
Of course Red Ken, who is the only MP ever to have taken on the secret state openly in the pigsty and against all odds keeps on existing without the usual fall that will be assigned to his questioning kind should have been approached.
Also it is now clear however much the SWP can be annoying they do call the numbers in if it is numbers you are after. There is no way they cannot be not approached for protests of huge imporatnce like the death fair.
Anyway where the fuck was CAAT? Why were they so quiet?
Also I wonder how many really pay atention to your sensible call to spread the news through leaflets far and wide.
Also the way you cut short my earlier suggestions on how to protest against the death fair is no precedent for any such efforts to be effective. Non egotistic cooperative efforts are needed badly.

contribution he felt able to make was to refuse to put up traffic signs
pointing towards Excel. MAYBE he'd have blocked funding for the cop
operation and forced Spearhead to find the money if he'd had the powers???
And
look through the list of groups allegedly supporting Disarm DSEi. Well-known
SWP-controlled National Stop the War for one. IF those groups had actually
mobilised to shut the Arms Fair down it COULD have happened.
(The opposition was also supported by London Green Party, I believe.)
The truth is, closing an obscenity like this in the end depends on people putting
their bodies where their mouths claim to be

Why don't you go over there and demonstrate, lets see how long you stay out of jail.
I'm sure that when you all stop living in wonderland you will realise that arms and war are a part of life, so go and choke on your tofu and get a life
Yeah Whatever
