SOCPA - babs is back in town

rikki | 17.09.2006 22:43 | SOCPA | Indymedia | Repression | London

after the rather public humiliation of superintendent terry this week in court  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/09/350716.html, barbara tucker was back outside downing street this afternoon, attracting crowds as she sang anti-war songs with fellow activist, charity. meanwhile, steve jago, whose own draconian bail conditions are likely to be lifted on tuesday in a further slap in the face to terry, stood near-by reading orwell's 1984.

demo outside downing street this afternoon
demo outside downing street this afternoon


the three activists once again defied socpa legislation designed to free tony blair from the embarrassment of being publicly reminded of his war-crimes.

for the first time in months, police were conspicuous by their absence. the downing street diplomatic corps were there as usual of course, but no community support officers passed near, no foot-soldiers from charing cross arrived, no vans full of hired police thugs turned up, and the three brave protestors held their peaceful demonstration right outside downing street.

given all the intimidation, harrassment, and what has now been shown as unlawful actions by superintendent terry's charing cross gang in the past, it was a pleasant change to see the peaceful demo taking place in safety this afternoon.

the war is far from over, but a small battle has certainly been won, and today was proof of this.

B arrested?

I just heard that Barbara has been arrested and taken to Charing Cross police station. Don't have any details about what happened, but sounds like she was in Downing Street at the time. Hopefully Rikki will be able to confirm/have more news...

Some comments on the evil filthy pagan islam

17.09.2006 23:26

just wondering some questions about islam...

apart from blowing up trains, buses, planes, yousrselves, buildings, murdering children, women, Jews and Christians (referred to as "infidels"); destroying the world trade centre and most unemployed/unemployable people is there anything that the muslims have done to contribute uesfully to society?

Only the muslims justify such disgusting acts of murder and terrorism for their false religion the worship of the pagan g-d allat; where the arabic allah comes from.

Let us destroy this pagan religion, the religion which causes all the problems in the world, from poverty to terrorism, the only religion which justifies murder, rape, suicide because “we are occupied” and “being mistreated because of “islamophobia””

More importantly, if you can think of something that the arabs and muslim arabs have contributed to the world I would please like to know. Don’t say the oil that the filthy arabs sit on because they are too fucking stupid to work out how to refine it; they’re too busy raping their wives and eating lambs they murdered the night before. It was the Americans and yes, the arabs hate to admit, the Jews who created fractional distillation of oil into naptha, kerosine and oil and implemented the factories and refineries in the muslim arab nazi terrorist pig countries. In fact, as Yasser Arafat said “ I am proud for my one true invention. The creation of plane hijackings”. Arabs also have a wonderful mind for blowing up all sorts of transport BUT they also invented sucidie bombing – ingenious! They are sooo clever are’nt they! “It’s because of EEZ—RAAA-ELLL and OOOLLLAH will deal will them” “diii ammmericaaans are infeeedells!!!” as the arabs so often say in the pitiful stupid minds.

PALESTINE HAS NEVER, WILL NEVER EXIST. ISRAEL WILL BE FREE FROM THE RIVER AND TO THE SEA AND AS OVER 6 MAJOR WARS WITH MORE THAN ONE MUSLIM ARAB NAZI TERRORIST ARMY HAS SHOWN, THE JEWS ARE ABLE TO FIGHT THE MUSLIM ENEMY AND DESTROY THE MUSLIM HOPE OF DESTRUCTION OF THE JEWS. ISRAEL WILL BE FREE FROM THE RIVER AND TO THE SEA; DESPITE THE PATHETIC MUSLIMS AND COMMUNISTS WHO THINK OTHERWISE. EVERY WAR, EVERY VICTORY, EVERY INCH OF ISRAELI LAND IS FOR THE JEWS.

AND HENCE NO, THERE IS NO “VICTORY TO THE INITFADA” AS EVERY INTIFADA HAS BEEN CRUSHED. WHETHER IT MEANS BUILDING A WALL OR CRUSHING THEIR PATHETIC CLAY HOMES WE ALWAYS WIN. UNFORTUNATELY THE LEFTIST EHUD SMOLMERT DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH TO WIPE THE MUSLIM FILTHY ENEMY OFF THIS PLANET.

SO LETS FACE IT – THESE DISGUSTING PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THAT WE WANT DEMOCRACY, WE REJECT ISLAM, THE TERRORIST, MURDERING RELIGION.

In Downing street, that would be something. I meant outside, of course.
