Statement by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association at the conclusion of his visit to the United Kingdom

There's a lot of information to take in here. Split into England and Wales, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. Includes Trade Union databases etc. Let's see if Camoron and co respond.

Seems very weak and feeble considering the subject matter. I was there...the police knew what they were doing and were entirely comfortable that the government, and now the UN, would never do anything that might hold them to account.

A lot of the states narks did what they did knowing they would never be held to account, and this report is confirmation that their training proved them right!

Its why so many of us now work quietly in the background, undetected and unseen, quietly bringing about a silent and stealthy revolution. The state and its police minions have no defence against that.

You have been looking in the wrong direction, and we have been very busy. Its just a question of time now.

If you are a cop and you are reading this, the only lesson you will ultimately learn from this is that you acted to make peaceful protest impossible...and for that, you have certified a violent revolution. In the same way you encouraged the riots of 2011 because you needed some way to prove to the government that you were a critical service, and didn't want your budgets cut. You did this because you operate in an environment that has always been incapable of seeing further than five minutes into the future. You work in an environment that is short term and nothing else. You work to the same time resolution as your masters. Your politicians operate like goldfish, no sense of what happened five minutes ago, and no sense of anything that will happen five minutes further on.

We, on the other hand, are thinking in decades.

We win, you lose, job done, cream bun. If you don't like that, complain to your children about it.
