Wednesday 24th November 2010,

The Conservative Party HQ was closed for business today. 

The large gates to the compound where the offices are located at King Edward Court were locked shut. A note on the gate informed us that offices were shut today, but without any further explaination. Another note says that if you needed access to the  offices of the Crown Prosecution Service CPS, then need to contact them. Windows remained broken and boarded up after a previous incident last week. There was also a police presence watching out for any eventualities.

So, what's going on?  Well there was a nationally advertised student walk out today.  They were clearly worried about further direct action by students and others on the issues of fees, cuts to public service, and all the rest ...... 

Me thinks that the Conservative Party are nervous about the publics reaction to these issues.


earlier: .......

Last Thursday, damage was done to the Conservative Party Nottingham Office.

Obviously as a protest against the governments cuts to welfare, public service, care etc etc .... [oooops sorry, I meant the governments public spending review].

Some windows had been smashed along the wall in King Edward Street and there were some painted messages including "Fight the cuts" and "Tory Scum".

Windows have now been boarded up, awaiting the glaziers.  This is the latest expression of peoples anger at these proposals.  There have been other examples around the city including County Hall and a firm of baliffs offices.

In a statement, they said: "We did this because we believe in acting autonomously with the rage in our hearts. And we did this in solidarity with those arrested for being at Millbank, and all people who are getting fucked over by the cuts and capitalism on a daily basis."

So, there you have it. I think you can only imagine this becoming a continuing trend!
