So just don't fall for their stick and carrot approach to managing our reaction. It is quite recognised that solidarity actions are a 'good' thing, and I think this one was quite appropriate. maybe we should be asking instead why there were so many arrests, many far away from any demonstrations or actions - on a day that nothing was even broken.

The problem with Charing X station is that its hard from some cells to hear outside so going inside seemed like a good idea. When asked about waiting inside one cop said there's no way where letting you in there.
However the clowns quickly fell into line and marched down the the entrance and all got in for a short while before being ejected.
It all seemed a worthwhile thing to do - solidarity is important. And if more folk took part in this kind of action the cops might eventually realise the hassle of nicking folk for minor offensives is not worth there while.

Why not accept that there is valid debate to be had on all actions and perhaps we can learn to be more effective.

its a learning thing tho, and in future we will have learnt lessons from this and not fuck up so bad again. please don't use it as an excuse to diss us completely without having seen what we are capable of, when we think first.
sometimes acting silly goes to a clowns head. last night it stopped being an act, we really were very silly and i was so angry with myself afterwards nothing anyone else wants to throw my way will be as harsh as my own inner voice. sorry again to all whose evening was made even harder by our actions.
we all live and learn, we all fuck up, we are all of value to this movement.

Clown action in general brilliant.
Alternative ideas, subverting action, AMAZING. We really need them for the G8. I loved the pro-Capitalist Demo thing too. Lets spin the media and the police on their heads till they don't know where they are going!

the pigs CAN differentiate between the clowns and other people standing in the station and so if they use the clowns as an excuse to chuck everyone else then ... they are just being pigs.
it was no big deal anyway. just a bunch of strangely dressed folk going in and out of the station in a matter of minutes.
DONT BLAME THE CLOWNS OR OTHERS FOR WHAT THE PIGS DO!!!!!
they are responsible for their actions
