woman arrested in front of Labour Party conference

a woman was arrested in front of labour party conference in Brighton, thanks to the good offices of the Trade Justice movement.

At the end of the rally organised in Brighton for the start of the Labour Party conference, a crowd was standing in front of the conference centre.

While the Christian mob were cheering at the slogans of one of their bishops, a couple in the crowd shouted at the trade unionists on the balcony of the Brighton Centre, that they should be ashamed of themselves (which is something most people would agree with).

One of the nice ladies of the trade justice movement turned and screamed at the couple that they were not allowed to talk, because "they were pushing their own agenda" (as if the trade justice movement wasn't), and that this was their rally, therefore nobody else was allowed to say anything.

The woman in the couple replied something which the writer could not hear, when suddenly a policeman who had watched the discussion leant over the rails and shouted a warning to the woman, then few seconds later he jumped over the rails with three of his mates and proceeded to arrest her.

the nice ladies of the trade justice movememt looked on with satisfaction whilst the woman was being dragged away by force by their nice friends the bobbies, for no reason at all.

I do not know who the arrested woman was, but I guess that the nice lady of the trade justice movement will tomorrow be sitting comfortably in her armchair, discussing with the vicar's wife, over a cup of fair trade coffee of course, the good they do the poor with rallies like this one, where they ask the same criminals who are responsible for the death and misery of millions to be nicer and just a tad less greedy.

an eye witness.
let's wage war against wealth, not against poverty.
