Action at Russell Square Tube Station TONIGHT

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.

This is a piss take, just in case anyone is incredibly stupid enough not to get that from the article. Like the post above for instance.

I don't know how indy works, but if you can just delete this. Its not even that funny.

The force behind George Galloway

13.05.2006 09:02

I beleive I have uncovered the truth behind George Galloway. This is in fact a false name, and an anagram of " Golly! A Gore wage" - So perhaps Al Gore hasn't forgiven GWB for the pregnant chad fiasco yet.

Manama rang!


Respect

You should show much more respect to Channel 4 News - what a worthy news show that always comes from a completely impartial background (despite the corporate funders) and What about the victim's families that were harrassed for weeks to come onto the programme? Shouldn't you target your energy at a more worthy target such as the Sun?

Outraged


oh so fuuny

You people make me sick there's real working class people out there in real working class communities (and yes some probably watch chanel 4 news), you're just turning everything into student humour, no doubt paid for my mummy and daddy

No wonder the anarchist movement in this country is such a joke.

real politics for real people

Havn't the commenters on this article missed something? The last one in particular seems to santify the working class (while seperating his or herself from it) and anything we toiling masses touch, but if indeed someone comes home from a long day at the factory and turns on the channel 4 news (which is idiotic at best) is that not even more reason for it to be subverted? Furthermore the 'action'--if it can be called that--reveals the nihilism with which the entire activist movement has been imbued. There need to be radical changes in how the 'movement' works and operates if it is not to be reduced to cynical remarks on the indymedia noticeboard and infantile critiques

we are all the george galloway commando

Viral marketing

25.05.2006 17:44

The application of viral marketing techniques to radical politics in TV and on the net is obviously a cheap strategy to confuse activists and thereby cut down the budget for infiltration and surveillance. No one would do this kind of shit without getting paid for it. There is an ideology behind all this, the ideology of a capitalist state. Galloway is probably both a crook and a spook.

Discredit anarchism and sell the Daily Mail and style magazines... Good work chaps..
