The second day at COP15 saw another mass arrest of hundreds of activists, as the Danish state continues to show a complete disregard for the right to protest. A 'Hit The Production' march to the Harbour called to highlight the way in which capitalist organisation of production in our societies is the root cause of climate change set off at 12:40 towards the harbour. Within an hour police moved in, took the sound system and began arresting hundreds. Arrestees were loaded onto coaches and taken to a detention centre, where conditions were detained in oppressive conditions






Yesterday hundreds were arrested including members of the Libertarian Socialist bloc.

The Rowboat song?

"say, oops upside your head/say oops upside your head"

In the UK, this song is typically "danced" to by sitting on the floor in rows and performing a rhythmic "rowing" action. The origin of this unusual dance, unique to this track, is unknown, but is very widely seen. It was especially popular during the 1980s.
