More madness from The Daily Mail... "Bloodbath"? well maybe if the US secret service shoot a few people! Also includes a nice paragraph to try and split people by suggesting mainstream organisers have been informing police about those with more radical plans...

Couldn't find the text online but here are some snippits from the near full page article on page 4...

Anarchist Thugs Plot a Bush Demo Bloodbath

ANARCHISTS are planning to hijack the anti-war demonstrations during George Bush's visit to Britain and bring violence to the streets.

American and British intelligence has revealed how a hardcore of anarchists from across Europe are using an anti-globalisation gathering in Paris to finalise their actions.

Some 700 activists from Britain have travelled to the french capital to help coordinate the mass demonstrations.

...snip

anti-capitalist hardliners... ...will try to carry out the kind of violence that scarred London during the May Day march three years ago.
One plan is for thousands of protestors to storm the grounds of Buckingham Palace...

...snip

Some organisers fearing trouble are said to have privately passed to police details of those they suspect might try and hijack their protests...

...snip

...open website communication has been scrapped... instead... text messages on 'pay as you go' mobile phones and password protected e-mnail groups.

...snip

One planned method of protest is for protesters to pelt the presedential party with bananas...

...snip

Police spotters on both sides of the Channel have begun monitoring those travelling to Britain to identify known anarchists...

...snip

Two Italian-based groups, Ya Bast (enough is enough) and Tutte Bianche (all whites), both with a reputation for violence, have some 250 supporters on their way to Britain.

...snip

...300 French men and women... 200-300 are expected to travel from Germany...

I hope they're right about all the internationals coming.

As for the bloodbath etc ... well, it'd be laughable if there weren't people out there who actually believe this crap.

Incitment to Assassination by Daily Mail

15.11.2003 20:35

The Daily Mail disgraces itself carrying this Anarchist propaganda. They are putting ideas into the heads of those sleeping out London troublemakers who disgrace our war memorials.

Suggesting that the worst that Anarchists are going to do is throw bananas might well incite one trained in the British Army as a sniper - yes I met one who was sleeping rough, to obtain a rifle to take out those two who have so incompetently sent their old mates to be butchered.

Fortunately most competent rough sleepers prefer to cover themselves with superior journals like the Financial Times which has more reliable news, or, through old time habit from when it was a quality independent newspaper, The Times. So the incitement is unlikely to reach those who might act on it.

Ya Basta! Violent?

I thought Ya Basta were a sort of show-NVDA force, not a violent mob. Usually they just bluff charge the police. Anyhow, its so usual for people to blow the violence out of proportion. And I think its time we just forgot that media, and really pushed IndyMedia, through hard copy hand out editions, and stalls advertising the website itself.

"Pelt the presidential party with bananas".

THat was a joke on Urban 75 about a month ago. At least now we know someone's listening.

For what it's worth, the debate's moved on. We're talking about throwing handfuls of shit at the lying murderous arsewipe. Apes do that as well, ennit?
