The left has not yet adjusted to the imminent upheavals.

Clowns force closure of the G8 (probably).

03-06-2007 16:51

It is now confirmed that the clown infection has spread as far as Germany. Following the first recorded outbreak in London in 2003 it was thought that the spread had been contained. Now it seems that the condition is reaching epidemic proportions will little or no indication as to where it will end. It is thought that the disease has become airborne due to activists traveling to summit mobilisations on budget airlines. “Many of them don’t even know they are carriers” said one expert who declined to be named.

Fortunately following the outbreak of the Samba virus a few years ago there are now many safeguards in place to protect the movement from this phenomenon. Symptoms of the illness are easy to spot and following treatment victims can make a full recovery. It remains unclear whether activists will in time develop immunity to the condition. People are being advised not to panic as the situation is being closely monitored. Although the situation in Germany had passed the previous peak witnessed in Scotland in 2005 no one is using the word pandemic yet…..

Police Repression of Antifa Demo in Schwerin

03-06-2007 14:13

Saturday 2nd June

German Fascists called a demonstration on the same day as the major mobilisation against the G8 in Rostock. Antifa mobilised an anti-fascist response to the planned demo in Schwerin, north-west Germany.

Schwerin was eerily quite for a Saturday morning. German cops setup road blocks on the city's arterial roads in an attempt to filter out fascists and anti-fascists. The city's streets were deserted and the tram system was suspended. Posters showing a Nazi swasticka being chucked in a bin adorned roads around the city. There was little evidence of the "Master Race" mobilising in Schwerin but reports came in later that they had mobilised in Berlin and other parts of Germany. For the most part, local people we spoke to seemed confused about the nature of the counter demo, perhaps mirroring the somewhat confused interpretation of what really constitutes the radical left and right in Germany.
