yogo | 14.06.2013 00:04 | G8 2013 | Repression | Liverpool

we got alot of stuff taken from us on the ferry going to ireland

One week ago at the ferry station in Liverpool going to Belfast we were interrogated for 45 minuites about our intentions on going to ireland. The police asked us if we were involved in protests, what causes we felt strogly about, where we were staying in belfast and if we were going to the G8 protests. The policeman was being very friendly the whole time, joking with us and pretending he was just curious. They searched our bags and then they cofiscated hard drives, usb sticks, camera, notebooks and maps under the Terroism Act 2000. There should not be an official record of political activity associated with us, with none of us having been convicted of a crime. They told us that we couldnt get our stuff back even if we didnt go to ireland.

You're not "travelling to Ireland"; you're travelling within the UK.

Speaking as somebody who is now staying in Belfast (in Ireland), I can only say you must be a complete fucking clown not to have managed to have got across.

So cop, why don't you just fuck orf and stay out of our business you insufferably stupid cunt.

If you are in the EDL, fuck orf to Iraq and die by the effortless and uncaring finger of a Muslim freedom fighter.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some Molotov's to make up for the big partay.

What's with all the trolling and vitriol? Why assume a post is fake/cops just cos they were unlucky enough to get stopped under schedule 7?!? Seems plausible enough to me...

Ireland is Ireland...The occupied 'part of Ireland', is a massive proportion of Ulster, which is Ireland. So perhaps 'Occupied Ulster' is a better title than UK.

Just Saying.

and Fuck the G8

OK, so its pretty clear from the promotion of this addition up top and on other articles on the newswire that the muppet that is endlessly trolling Indymedia with state loyalism trolling is somebody who also has moderation privilages on IMC.

It does appear to be a moderator.

The enemy is inside IMC.

Northern Ireland is part of Ireland under English occupation. It is not part of the UK, it is part of Ireland.

Indymedia is not to be used by English nationalists to parade their nationalist fantasies at the expense of the people of Ireland.

"OK, so its pretty clear from the promotion of this addition up top and on other articles on the newswire that the muppet that is endlessly trolling Indymedia with state loyalism trolling is somebody who also has moderation privilages on IMC. "

If you knew the admin interface, you would know that it isn't difficult to promote an article instead of hiding it. But knowing nothing you can only come up with the assumption that Indymedia must be riddled with state loyalists......

It is not.

Now is your comment accurate? No
Is it news? No

Read the guidelines and operate within them or expect more of your paranoid nonsense to disappear in a puff of smoke (- unless some mod makes an error on the drop down box and promotes them by error.)

You need to learn how to do a civil claim for money, because you have legal property rights over you stuff, even if the police do have a legal right to take it off you. You are entitled to money for what they take, if you legally own it.

In fact, if your things were confiscated under schedule 7 they have to be returned to you after seven days unless it becomes evidence in a criminal investigation (i.e they decide to charge you with something).
