Pro-capitalists threaten to march in support of G8, July 2nd.

Montgomery Owen-Pumfrey iv | 09.06.2005 23:14 | G8 2005 | Analysis

Pro-capitalists plan to march in Edinburgh on July the 2nd, the same day as the huge 'Make Poverty History'protests.

A group calling themselves CRAP (Capitalism Represents Acceptable Policy) claim they will be mobilising hundreds to march behind the banner 'Make Poverty Worse'.

They want to encourage the G8 leaders to do ignore the demands of oppositional protests and simply deliver 'more of the same', calling for more debt, total privatisation worldwide, more arms to countries with human rights abuses, an imminent invasion of Iran, and total ecological collapse.

That is such an awesome pair of sites! Hilarious. Hopefully people on this site will work out the intent behind it, rather than look like humourless berks...

The pro-capitalists are 'threatening' to march are they? Do you mean they say they might march? Is Bob Geldof 'threatening' to persuade one million to go to Edinburgh? Dr Geobbels would be proud of your use of language.

Bravo chaps! About time someone stood up to these blighters, wot!

I for one will be dusting off my top hat, polishing up my spats, and dressing to the nines for this one. And the champagnes on me after!

N.b.: the champagne offer does not extend to "hippies" or "anarchists", who, of course, are smelly and hairy and taste of chickpeas.

At least two people (I'm not too sure about the last guy) failed to get the point of the satire. Here's a clue - actually READ the supplied links and work out what the phrase 'tongue in cheek' means. And maybe look up the word satire in the dictionary, too. Oh well.

I can't believe anyone actually fell for that. It's SO obviously a joke!

no apparently it's real

No apparently it's all true. I've heard that this is a real group, someone told me or I read it on the internet somewhere, or someone said in a pub or something.

Also I read or heard somewhere that anti-capitalists are terrorists, Muslims are homophobic women-haters and asylum seekers all get free Porsches.

it must be true it's in the Daily Mail

Well, if it is a joke, then by all means let "mr no name," the thought police for what is acceptable discourse, in on the fun.

Some lessons in punctuation wouldn't hurt either.
