Well that’s what I’d really like to call for but there’s fuck all chance of it happening given the current levels of torpor in the anarchist movement……….oh sorry - ‘movement’ is something you dont get from anarchists at the moment.

Given the collapse of the free market and the hostility towards fat cat bankers you might have thought some anarchist action in the City might be a posibility……..but no…..we can only manage the Bookfair…..fucking multi fucking tasking is beyond us!

Each person is going to pay £16,000 per year for the bail out of the banks, the figure world wide 2000000000000 yes that is 2 trillion, the price we have paid in the UK could pay to keep all planned closures of post office open for 300 years, it's 3 times the income of a person on social security benefits.

Again the working class pay to bail out the Middle Class, it is estimated by December 2008 there will be 2 million on benefits, as we go into another global recession those in poverty will increase, I have been through recessions, been there in the 1970s and was stood on the picket lines 25 years ago with the miners.

Been at the front line of the 1970s and 1980s, there is nothing to celebrate here, if only this was 1929 and the bankers were jumping out of windows, there has been some signs of resistance, we need to increase the pressure, it is not utopian to say we need to organise more reclaim the city actions as happened in the 1980s, also June 18th 1999.

This time we need to take the anger further than slogans of burn the rich, perhaps this time we do need to burn them, if only the riots of Toxteth had happened six months before during the strike of 1984, just think would there have been enough police to deal with this?

Could it had been the army on the streets? What if? Of course a big question, but if we organise, riots of course are organic but there is no reason they could not happen, would there be enough police and army if every city went up?

We remember the glorious poll tax riot, and the 18 million that refused to pay, we are not dreamers when we say it could be possible for a TAX STRIKE, or those who are being asked 16,000 a year to bail out the bankers, this not our crisis so why should we pay?

underclassrising have been lurking in the dark corners of this urbanparanoia, the moment is ours brothers and sisters, we are not seeking the reform of capitalism, but its abolition. Capitalism is anarchy, we desire anarchism. Are we prepared to take now or stay the same, is what we need to be asking?

Instead some of us propose an action even a few people can pull off - CLAP A BANKER DAY - where we applaud and cheer individual or groups of bankers for their selfless hard work as they go about the city complete with hunting horns and clappers. Any takers?
