The WOMBLES are coming.....again!

In what has become a bit of a tradition, Commander Bob Broadhurst has once again resurrected the WOMBLES in an attempt to justify the attacks that the cops will undoutably make on the mostly peaceful demonstrators on Thursday's protest.

That he knows the WOMBLES are no longer an active protest group is made clear in this BBC article, where he stated, prior to the G20 that "there was evidence that groups not seen since the 1990s, such as direct action exponents Reclaim the Streets and the Wombles, were re-forming and planning activity.". They did not appear.

Oscar Beard failed to see the mystical WOMBLES at Sack Parliament in 2006, after another Broadhurst warning, and despite warnings in the Telegraph, neither did they materialise at Heathrow's Climate Camp.

Perhaps Bob Broadhurst is suffering from delsusions or flashbacks which mean that he is constantly seeing WOMBLEs that aren't there, and, if so, it is illuminating that rather than exposing his delusions, the corporate media continues to share them. More likely he has learnt that raising the spectre is an easy way to justify attacking all protestors, an agenda seemingly shared with corporate journalists such as Justin Davenport and Anna Davis of the Standard.
