Space Hijackers Northern Cell

Bristly | 19.09.2007 12:55

The Space Hijackers -  http://www.spacehijackers.org - are spreading our wings and venturing up north.

Responsible for all manner of events, everything from organising parties for 2000 people on London Underground through to challenging the government to cricket and attempting to drive a tank into an arms fair, we have been causing trouble in London for 8 years now.

However, there are a lot of people on our mailing list who live in the north and never get to come and play. To co-incide with the last day of our exhibition in Sunderland we are organising a meeting to get together a bundle of like minded troublemakers to see if we can set up a northern cell.

Bring red underwear (to prove you're not police), subversive thoughts and a strong liver.

Meet
2pm
Sat 22nd September
The Northern Gallery Of Contemporary Art
Fawcett Street
Sunderland

I guess the day will come when at last somebody from the Indymedia Admin team wakes up to the fact that the Space Hijackers are a commercial organisation which exists to sell tickets to shows, T shirts, DVD's etc.

The repeated publicity they received in advance of their DSEI stunt, which despite their posts was fully authorised by the police, was scandalous. I have no problem with them making a living taking the piss out of the establishment, Private Eye does it every week but to see them use Indymedia for free publicity and advertising is not in the spirit of the newswire.

Why don't you and your Middle Class Arts School mates piss off and stop posting to Indymedia with the details of your latest jolly jape.

We don't want to know what Public Schoolboys do in the year before they join Daddy's company

not interested

'at least they had fun'

Indeed! Fun is massively political after all. I had a quick bash in the shower earlier over christina ricci in Buffalo 65, and as i spaffed on the wall i thought 'what a huge blow against the corporate megamachine. There's one five minutes of real joy they'll never get back from me'.

If we are to be the best protestors we can and do protests that protest history will remember we have got to have fun. If we can't use our legitimate right to dissent in this democracy without having fun, we are just like the robots man, the Parties and the drones going to work in their polluting cars. The squares.
They don't get it, they don't have fun.
