SOCPA - euro referendum protest - crane occupation at parl sq
rikki | 03.03.2008 02:59 | SOCPA | Repression
some peaceful activists from wearechange.org.uk have just occupied a crane at parliament square in the early hours of monday 4th march
this morning's protest is about the breach of promise by the government for a referendum on a new european treaty.
the protestors are planning a banner drop and they hope to hold the occupation through the day to attract press attention to the issue. they are concerned that the current lisbon treaty is being bulldozed through parliament and is about to hand considerable powers over to a future european president - the name 'tony blair' is of course being bandied about for this new role.
wearechange are also involved in moves to get blair and many others to face war crime charges for their illegal occupation of iraq. they are the first group to cause the metropolitan police to take the evidence of war crimes seriously, and while official the met press office is denying the story, a met police unit has had several meetings with members of wearechange along with international war law expert chris coverdale and they are actively investigating the mountain of evidence supplied, which directly implicates blair and others under uk as well as international law.

two men unfurled a large banner "referendum / give us our vote" and the police have made no attempt yet to remove them or it, although negotiations have taken place
they've just passed a message down to a supporter saying "love to everybody - we're doing this out of love for everybody"
campaigners are concerned that britain is handing away huge powers to europe at a time when tony blair is being pushed forward as a possible president of the new european superstate backed by a 'europol' jack-booted paramilitary police force with huge powers.

Show some support

If you support what these guys are doing, then take a bit of action yourself - email/write/fax/call your MP (www.theyworkforyou.com) and ask them to vote for a referendum on Wednesday - let the people decide whether we want to sell ourselves to the EU and not Parliament.
Nice one!

Fuck the EU

The EU is a centralist devise for forming a superstate, alongside others like the American Union with its Mexico America Canada tie up and Super highways and thePacific Union and even the African Union, doomed as it is
Conglomerations of superstates as it were,ready to merge in the one world government
We know how a referendum would go
With a big no from the UK public
However it's much deeper than this
