There were seven confirmed arrests at this action, possibly an eight as well. All looked OK when in the vans.

Where the fuck was everyone? City of 10 million and 2-300 people to turn up to oppose scum who murder. What a shit country this is.

good action, harrasment by cops.

unfortunately i was arrested on leaving the convergence space at 9.30am, but what i've heard from comrades and what's i've read seems to indicate that today's action seems to have been pretty successful, and Charing Cross pigpen seemed to have run out of space for prisoners, i don't know if that's a blessing or a curse.

We weren't there

15.09.2005 20:05

What can I say. I wish I had been there and ashamed I wasn't, for the same reason as millions of others, bullied and herded into shit slave labour 12 hours a day. But every demo you do pushes us towards critical mass and if your conviction is strong enough we will come. I wrote to the Bliar and I wrote to my MP about the arms peddlars, and I'm sure others will have done this too, but we just don't feel strong enough yet to break out of the brainwashed state they've put us in.

this protestor made his way to london, failed to find the squat, wandered around all tuesday night, then ended up at the wrong railway station in the morning! bloody hell, what a calamity.
fair play to those who managed to disrupt. just wish i coulda done more.

lets all try and make as much noise about this as possible so that next time, in 2007 (i think) we have at least 20,000 people there, and we could shut the fuckers down properly.

i'm off to the library for a self help book on organisation and maybe one on how to read maps.
