We believe we can mobilise enough comrades to make our presence really obvious on this march.
Come and join us.
We plan to meet up prior to the march at 12.30 in the Peace Gardens and then join the demo for 1pm. The Peace Gardens are just round the corner from Albert Square.
Look out for the red and black flags!

Marching is a good way to vent anger I agree. There are other methods too,which have far more reaching results. Surely by having an anarchist bloc it defeats the purpose of any direct actions occuring as it highlights the potential to the authorities. Or is this the idea??

See you on Saturday!

We in the Metropolitan Police want you to know that we really agree with your protest. (Oh yes, I was an anarchist once.) Of course we want you all to stay safe and out of trouble, which is why we (and our mates in the GMP - they have their own spotters who you'll recognise from the footy) will be taking photos of everyone on the anarchist bloc, from plenty of different angles, while you're chatting to your pals, watching for who looks like they're the ringleader, who's agitating and so forth.
If you want to help us out, please turn up clean shaven, don't wear a hat of any kind, and try to organise yourselves into sections on the demo according to how militant you are.
Wearing dirty black clothes and scary looking things like masks will help too, so that we and the rest of the demo know that you're the anarchists and should be avoided in case the worst should happen and we see some violence.
And a special note to anyone with kids- please don't wear face paint - it confuses the fuck out of our facial recognition systems, especially dark colours near the eyes or down the side of the nose.
Thanks for your obedience,
Insp. A. Pigg,
Scotland Yard Public Order Branch

HEDDLU(CYMRAEG)- the police force
when i went into carmarthen police station to show them that i had received a piece of paper(WHITE) with (HANDWRITTEN IN BLACK FELT PEN- all in blocks{CAPITALS}); across the top (LARGE) BNP and then going down the way BRITTISH NATIONAL PARTY-smaller {using the letters BNP as the first letter of each word.( i only go into such detail for the sake of clarity )}, i was speaking to a woman worker there (didnt ask for name and number, but i think i will every time now before continuing to speak) and i said to her that HEDDLU meant peacekeepers. she replied it means POLICE> i said yes but i know the derivation of the word, whereupon she looked at me in a certain way (imagination required)
so lets hope that all the police officers (female/male) to be present on saturday, do their job with integrity......

With this you appear to be contradicting yourself. The idea of a "direct" action is impossible given the conference is not started as yet (even were the conference going the "directness" of any action is debateable at best) - so why bother?
The purpose of a bloc such as this is primarily to give a visible anarchist presence in a group of people who may be interested, to distribute publicity, and to attempt to break the IslamoTrot hegemony which seems to rule StWC demonstrations at present.
Having a ruck with the pigs is NOT in itself direct action; while it can be a useful tactic at times, at others it is little more than immature posing.
I'm going to head over on Saturday, see ya there :-)

I hope that the block will be leafleting, spreading anarchist ideas and hopefully recruit people for more meaningful direct action.

Ok, i won't actually be there, and if you are serious and you are a cop, than let me tell you this, and make it very clear. Maybe there won't be "violence" on the day, maybe there won't be anarchist violence this year, even in this life time, but it will come, and when it does, you will not know what to do, it won't be the Anarchists/Radicals that spark the violence, but you, the police. you will spark the violence by standing in the way of a mass, an unstoppable mass of people, all of which are determined to achieve some goal or another, a goal which every sensible human being will know is right and honourable, even the cops, which will just follow orders, will know this is right (as i believe most of you already know). i don't know if you are scared, but, if you find yourself standing in between a mass of people, and a group of politicians, ask yourself, who are you protecting and why? are you protecting the public's interests, or are you protecting a government who's crimes are far far worse than those of all protectors combined, are you defending the world in order to prevent chaos, or are you guarding the chaos that is already there from the positive change that we all know is needed. You can photograph anyone of as as much as you want, we will go down proudly in history, but you, your actions, and the blind philosophy of orders that you follow, will go down as a disaster, a catastrophe that have held mankind from achieving it's full potential and from living in a truly democratic society.
Here's my suggestion, if any of this got to you, next time you are at a protest, join it, order your minions to use their own conscience, and morality, join them and help bring about the change you used to believe in, before you've given up hope for a fairer world.
