Communique #1

we win
we win


This evening, at around 7:30, capital's control of the means of ideological production was magnificently contested, and not for the last time. By the insertion of a dissonant image we sought radically to subvert Channel 4 News' live report from Russell Square tube station. 'Against Capitalist War & Peace.' screamed our banner, pummelling our message into the hearts and minds of the sophisticated viewers of television's top-class news programme. Sometimes it screamed 'Against Peace' which was a little less than desirable but frankly an acceptable cost.

This was only the beginning. Unstinting war is necessary on all media thought-factories. At all costs, in every moment we must destabilise these spectacular, unreal representations of social stability. There is a civil war and we are all implicated. The inane liberalism of the cretin from the production team who compared our intervention's politics to those of the Sun and sought to drag our banner out of sight was treated as all our enemies ought to be - with firm words and the looming shadow of martial force.

We will never surrender; We will never disarm.

Yours indefatigably, the George Galloway Commando on behalf of the RESPECT coalition,

ps. many thanks to our kind sponsors the Mariam Appeal.
