Fake anti-war movement protested in Bristol

In an act of surreal doublethink, Stop The War coalition have brought a spokesman for a fascist military cadre to the UK to make everyone who protested against the war look like utter idiots. I wasn't going to have this in my town and took it upon myself to tell the truth, however unpopular this made me. A full report follows.
Arrived about 7.15 pm. Got off bike, locked up. Yelled something (to get warmed up, plus I was furiously angry) and approached council house, getting funny looks from SWPers standing guard.
Straight away, SWP guys tried to stop me getting in.
"You don't want to be here. This isn't for you."
"FUCK OFF - THIS IS MY CITY!" was the approximate reply.
I got past them and ended up being bracketed by 2 more of them. It was like dealing brainwashed cult members, thuggish Scientology fucks complete with fixed grins and staring eyes- obviously they had to pull a Mutt And Jeff Nice Guy – Nasty Guy number.
The extra-arrogant one with the shaved head was enjoying the chance to shout down a lesser mortal with his mate in tow. I had to shove through the fascist wankers ("GET OUT OF MY WAY!") to get to the entrance area where I made my protest, loudly and with gusto, complaining about the hijacking of the antiwar movement, the presence of a racist in my town hall, and the descision of McVities to stop making plain chocolate Hob-Nobs. (ok, that last one was a lie)
Next thing that happened, a really pissed off, shell shocked Palestinian type guy gets in my face - yelling about Israel, genocide, etc, etc etc. Calling me a cunt and getting ready to hit me - which is when security stepped in and had to physically restrain the ranting man. I feel sorry for him - the SWP obviously had him on hand for just such an occaision, should their other, more subtle dissent-crushing techniques fail. He looked a twat and so did I - I'm sure he's seen a lot of bad shit first hand and I wouldn't want to deny that the Israeli Defence Forces are cunts. As are Hezbollah, the SWP and other bad heads.
Security told me that I should leave the inner entrance area "for your own protection, to be honest", and when my ranting reached the point that they openly told me that I was pissing them off, I decided to take their advice, making sure to point out to everyone there that this was what the SWP thought of free speech - Say something they don't want to hear and you get threatened with being hit.
So. Off to the main entrance bit on the street, which afforded some amusement for this evil wrecker, mainly in the form of Members Of the Public to invite to see the RACIST in their council house, paid for with their money. Anyone want to come and see a RACIST speak? and so forth. Few takers... wonder why?
Obviously most of the poor fools attending were pretty much mindless, blank-eyed zombies or at best smug college student hippies who thought they knew it all, but I think I started to get to a few people that I knew personally.
Showing them the pic of Hezbollah militants doing the Nazi salute and calmly asking them to please ask Mr Moussawi if he still did that gesture is a winning gambit... (I would like to know that, actually. If only wasn't so angry, I could have been an infiltrating Zionist mole, and not a bad and evil wrecker and hooligan Or something..)
Although apparently the Hezbollah Nazi salute thing is just political correctness gone mad and we should call it the Roman salute now, as they are all Romans. Or something. Hmm... Still, asked a few people if they wanted to ask Mr. Hezbollah dude if he used that hand gesture and one person actually said he would, so there you go. And some old people shook my hand and said "good luck", which made me feel obscurely better about earning the undying hatred of every well meaning leftie in the city, forever.
And so to bed - to dream of a world where you can oppose one war without supporting another, and people won't be swayed by simplistic good-guy bad guy John Wayne politics and will ask inconvenient questions of their self appointed betters and think for themselves - then wake up in our shitty world and post this!
