Vice magazine make good documentaries, and they love mentioning CRASS, but as Gee Voucher said "Vice magazine love critizising everything, but don't want to contribute to making the world a better place"
anyway I got a lot of (twat) hipster friends, a lot of them occassionally write crap for Vice, 2 years ago, well before the recession started, I asked if I could write an upbeat piece on how the economy was about to go tits up and that there would be a new generation of anarchist kids, Black Blocs and (proberly still to come) Broadwater Farm reinactment groups.
I don't like their hipster faux punk scenster dribble, but still their liberal stance is a good platform to at least get into the heads of kids who might not be exposed to radical ideas.

anyway the miserable hipsters and their gravy train turned down my offer.
that was until Millbank got the shit smashed out of it. and then they started asking me all sorts of questions, and wanting info etc, but whats the point contributing to them now?
we don't need them, although the revolution ain't on the horizon just yet, we got Sky New advertising our "Black Bloc tactic" to every suburban teenager across the land, and ever kid wants to get in on the action!

yeah!

There are good things about this short documentary, but I think it is very silly to watch it and think the most important thing about it is that it "notably" shows Clare Solomon in a bad light. As she was instrumental in calling and organising at least two of the most important of the student demonstrations, some footage of her arguing some marchers should walk in a different direction is hardly damning. Mind , this documentary simply says "“the next protest was underway…demonstrators planned to march on Parliament” without ever considering how demonstrations are organised or what work goes into getting them going. Equally the documentary says of the first Millbank protest : “someone tried to kill a copper with a fire extinguisher”, which isn't really true, and is quite a damaging statement.
