A letter from an anarchist prisoner

A letter from an anarchist prisoner.

The following communiqué is not the opinion of any group or organisation, but that of the signed person only.


To comrades worldwide,

I send out this communiqué from inside the prison HMP Wormwood Scrubs in London, UK. I have been sentenced to imprisonment for 18 months.

This sentence has been intensely pursued since 2009 by the Metropolitan Police, British Transport Police, and the greedy barristers of the ancient and outdated English judicial system, which in my case was presided over by the dinosaur H.O. Blacksell QC and his posh puppy Mark Trafford.

During a profitable 17 days, in which various worms in wigs paraded their knowledge of the rich man’s law, while filling their pockets at public expense, as well as strutting their vivid imaginations, to keep each other awake. Then they sent out their twelve handpicked blind sheep for deliberation. Thirteen hours later and six comrades were en route to HMP Wormwood Scrubs, courtesy of the privatised justice courier Serco.

The outcome was a given from the very start and the Victorian master-race puppeteer H.O. Blacksell made no secret of which way these cowardly people, who so viciously decided to stand up against the bigoted racists from “Blood And Honour”, were to end up. It was obviously paramount for “Blacksellaurus Rex” to ensure that the public of Welling wouldn’t have to be exposed to such an act of free-will in terms of an antifascist opposition to fascism. It is much preferred to simply allow fascists free reign to exercise their hatred and occasionally to murder, as long as it’s done out of sight of his beloved public. After all, the fascists pay his wages and are ideologically alike.

Under the context of conspiracy, the court invented a guilty verdict, whereby no evidence was required. One for all and all for one, unless of course you hadn’t previously had the nerve to challenge the way in which a system, made by the rich and to protect the rich, wants us to live. Despite serving a sentence, it is forever held against you, which is quite handy, should one be a tad short of the annoying thing called evidence.

In a straight contradiction to what the justice system tries to preach, they have exposed themselves as nothing more than a posh gang of thugs, with huge prisons to keep us locked-up, out of sight, out of rights!

This is not unique to England and it is evident in most countries. With the breakdown of their economic system, their thuggish behaviour is becoming more and more exposed. From Athens, our inspiration, to London, it’s time to stand up and stand united, with passion and determination.

Democratic capitalist society and dictatorships alike, their failure is shining brighter by the minute, as with any system which is unfair and only serves to benefit a tiny minority of the population.

I send my support and solidarity to the comrades, in prisons and on the streets, who have courageously decided to say enough is enough. No more of the “Rule of the Rich”. No more shall they be able to hide behind their legal arguments and pseudo-democratic excuses. No more shall they be able to hide behind their polluted cloud of justice when it’s so apparent that it’s nothing more than a tool of repression, by which a big, fat, wigged-up bastard can, without remorse or humanity, destroy the lives of people on a daily basis, without any consequences or questions being asked of him. Only a few dictators have had such powers at their disposal.

It’s time to judge our judges. I know about 85,678 people in England alone, who’d like a word or two with these infallible keepers of the rich man’s democracy.
To the rich man’s justice – Fuck you hard and rot in pieces!

Anarchist Prisoner:

if it would have been 17 nazis attacking 2 anarchists/commies, you`d have been screaming justice and demanding a prison sentence for the nazis

so why is it that most nationalists are from working class backgrounds? if nationalism is against the working classes? and why is it that most commies are from semi middle class backgrounds? also hitlers national socialism is not nationalism, hitler was a socialist that wanted to nationalize socialism, hitler never even displayed the german national emblem,

> fuck off fascist lurkers
You're the facists.


A letter from an anarchist prisoner.

> The following communiqué is not the opinion of any group or organisation, but that of the signed person only.
Anarchists always say "communiqué" to look cool. Anyone else would just a post, article or letter. Only these imprisoned anarchists say communiqué so that its looks all international and they seen everyone else do it.


> To comrades worldwide,
Communist?

> I send out this communiqué from inside the prison HMP Wormwood Scrubs in London, UK. I have been sentenced to imprisonment for 18 months.
Good start.

> This sentence has been intensely pursued since 2009 by the Metropolitan Police, British Transport Police, and the greedy barristers of the ancient and outdated English judicial system, which in my case was presided over by the dinosaur H.O. Blacksell QC and his posh puppy Mark Trafford.
Yes, thats what police do - pursue violent criminals. Outdated??? Fuck off. Got you off the streets didnt it?

> During a profitable 17 days, in which various worms in wigs paraded their knowledge of the rich man’s law, while filling their pockets at public expense, as well as strutting their vivid imaginations, to keep each other awake.
A common theme in your communiqué is that everyone you don't like is rich and that all rich people are bad. You are the one in prison.


> Then they sent out their twelve handpicked blind sheep for deliberation.
You mean members of the public that you happen to disagree with. Wonder what they thought of you - hyena?

> Thirteen hours later and six comrades were en route to HMP Wormwood Scrubs, courtesy of the privatised justice courier Serco.
Shows that the justice system is working.

> The outcome was a given from the very start and the Victorian master-race puppeteer H.O. Blacksell made no secret of which way these cowardly people, who so viciously decided to stand up against the bigoted racists from “Blood And Honour”, were to end up.
A pre-meditated attack on 2 victims getting off a train who are on their way to a band at a pub is cowardly. Master race? Oh fuck off you tit - you were guilty and you got found that way. Deal with it. Yes it was obvious how it would end up because you were guilty. WHat did you expect? Them to let you off with a medal?

> It was obviously paramount for “Blacksellaurus Rex” to ensure that the public of Welling wouldn’t have to be exposed to such an act of free-will in terms of an antifascist opposition to fascism
ie. breaking the law using violence on people who actually hadnt done anything.

> It is much preferred to simply allow fascists free reign to exercise their hatred and occasionally to murder, as long as it’s done out of sight of his beloved public. After all, the fascists pay his wages and are ideologically alike.
Evidence? Are you authorised by the democratic public to carry out this attach?
None and no is what i suspect the truth would be.

> Under the context of conspiracy, the court invented a guilty verdict, whereby no evidence was required.
Find this hard to believe. No evidence means you would be innocent.

> One for all and all for one, unless of course you hadn’t previously had the nerve to challenge the way in which a system, made by the rich and to protect the rich, wants us to live.
Seems to think rich have got it in for you. In actual fact you are guilty for a crime of violence which has fuck all to do with wealth.

> Despite serving a sentence, it is forever held against you, which is quite handy, should one be a tad short of the annoying thing called evidence.
If there is no evidence, then appeal. Doubt the jury would of found you guilty if no evidence. Find it a bit hard to believe what you are saying is factual actually.

> In a straight contradiction to what the justice system tries to preach, they have exposed themselves as nothing more than a posh gang of thugs, with huge prisons to keep us locked-up, out of sight, out of rights!
Probably more to do with the fact that you conspired to attack people actually, but there you go. Whatever, you are probably in shock or something.

> This is not unique to England and it is evident in most countries. With the breakdown of their economic system, their thuggish behaviour is becoming more and more exposed. From Athens, our inspiration, to London, it’s time to stand up and stand united, with passion and determination.
Wow - its evident in most countries. Does that tell you something, like perhaps everyone else thinks differently to you and you are the only person that thinks you should be let off?

> Democratic capitalist society and dictatorships alike, their failure is shining brighter by the minute, as with any system which is unfair and only serves to benefit a tiny minority of the population.
And the bit where you commited to conspire violence on people?

> I send my support and solidarity to the comrades, in prisons and on the streets, who have courageously decided to say enough is enough.
ie. to break the law.

> No more of the “Rule of the Rich”.
Rich has nothing to do with your case - its to do with violence.

> No more shall they be able to hide behind their legal arguments and pseudo-democratic excuses
ie. violence should be allowed for special people like you?

> No more shall they be able to hide behind their polluted cloud of justice when it’s so apparent that it’s nothing more than a tool of repression,
Err... its to lock up dangerous violent criminals like you from commiting crimes in the public.

> by which a big, fat, wigged-up bastard can, without remorse or humanity, destroy the lives of people on a daily basis, without any consequences or questions being asked of him.
And this has exactly what to do with your case???

> Only a few dictators have had such powers at their disposal.
Its the law. Deal with it. I know you are probably pissed with the sentence, but if you can't do the time, don't do the crime. You are an adult - you take responsbility for your own actions.

> It’s time to judge our judges. I know about 85,678 people in England alone, who’d like a word or two with these infallible keepers of the rich man’s democracy.
Wealth has nothing to do with your crime. It is a crime of violence which is unacceptable.
You were caught and fairly tried by 12 members of the public. Can't deal with that? Then don't do the crime.

To the rich man’s justice – Fuck you hard and rot in pieces!
Theres only one person here that is doing any 'rotting'

> Anarchist Prisoner:
> Thomas Black
I'll send you some post to keep you spirits up whilst you reform your evil ways.

Anon, amusing to see you whiling away the time with your obsessive, anal retentive rants against an anarchist prisoner. Your name's not Billy No-life is it? Now fuck off and take Dick Terapin with you, you utter pissflap.
