‘YOU GET BACK TO YOUR MILLION POUND HOUSE’ – PAUL KING TO THE DPP

After being told there would be no charges Paul King confronted Keir Starmer with these words:

‘ YOU GET BACK TO YOUR MILLION POUND HOUSE.THIS DECISION DOESN’T MATTER TO YOU. BUT WE HAVE TO GO HOME NOW AND WE DON’T HAVE A DAD. AND BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU’VE DECIDED WE’RE NEVER GOING TO KNOW WHO SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS DEATH’

These passionate and eloquent words should be embazoned on a banner outside the offices of the DPP. I believe that it is absolutely urgent that some action is taken to turn public anger into concrete political form which people can join in before the moment passes. I’d much rather some other organisation/people would do this but the moment can not be left to pass and in the absence of any other proposal in the name of London Class war ( two people and a dog) we will gather outside the offices of Keir Starmer the DPP next Friday from 12-2pm. I absolutely urge comrades to join us. I listened to talk shows on the radio last night – overwhemingly raging against the police. if we use every medium at our disposal we maybe able to reach out to some of these and get them along. If we fail……..so fucking what -at least we’d fail in trying than by inertia. If you’re coming then please say so it’l encourage us all. If we tolerate the open murder of a working class man by the police without lifting a finger then we truly deserve the dustbin of history. Spread the word; 12 noon – 2pm next Friday DPP offices.

No political symbols, no socialist agenda, no communist flags, no class war bollocks, no dodgy labour groups, no anarchist symbols, no SWP newspaper sellers and you've got a deal.

If you can't manage that then you can fuck right off.

Be careful that Harwood isn't handed out on a platter to satisfy the public's baying for redemptive blood. Harwood as scapegoat is an easy externalisation of the systemic corruption of justice that permeates, if not defines, the establishment. We need to reach further: the police announced a "summer of rage" and they delivered a summer of murder. Who hyped that up? Who constructed that event? Who authorised ID numbers to be concealed? Who authorised balaclavas? Who authorised "kettling"? Who authorised the systematic abuse of the terror laws to charge photographers? Who permitted the use of laws to ban photography of the police during operations of (mis)conduct? Who authorised the FIT squad to demonise protestors? Who authorised Patel to be the patsy to conceal the means of Mr Tomlinson's death?

These are the questions that need answering, and casting Harwood to the wolves ain't gonna fix this. We need to be wary about the attempt that will be made to throw Harwood out as "a bad apple". He merely expresses the ethos of the dominating party. Please clue up, and get wise. Don't let them get away with offering a sacrificial lamb with all of the condiments of "proposed changes" and a "systematic review". We need to know that that will be bullshit and anticipate that defense.

We need to start using phone trees again so that we can quickly respond to situations like this. Email is just not effective at quickly mobilisng people.

"No political symbols, no socialist agenda, no communist flags, no class war bollocks, no dodgy labour groups, no anarchist symbols, no SWP newspaper sellers and you've got a deal."

I agree about political symbols, we should have different symbolism than that, perhaps a black-clad darth vader policeman character wearing a red judges robe and white wig so he looks a bit Judge dredd (the police are now judge, jury & executionar). Maybe with a silhouette of a small man in front with his head bowed and his hands in his pocket.

Maybe we could have a picture of a policeman wearing the Anarchist A symbol. For us the A means an entire political theory backed up by an autonomous logic all its own, worthy of respect. But for the police it means nothing more than chaos. Let's stick the A on them, let's force them earn their own prejudice!

Hehehe
