although the anarchists where by far the loudest and most disabidiant collective at the london mayday protest, there was still a huge lack of action. this was mainly due to the fact that there wasnt that many of us and if we had started something we would have been jump on instantly by the met. for mayday 2008 we need to have real presence at the demo and make our feelings known! this means you and all your like minded friends coming to the demo(and coming prepered).

At the demo we where confronted by a trade unionist member shouting and balling because we burst into the "exclusion zone" infront of the stage and started chanting and waving the anarchist flag. he tried to tell us that it was not our day it was for trade unions only! and that we should leave. i call this man stupid, selfish and ignorant! for claiming that it was a day for unions only he made outcasts of every worker on this planet not lucky enough to have the conditions were a union is valid(although i dont really beleive that unions have done much in this country anyway). i believe that we need to take mayday back! and return it to ALL the workers of the world! next year we dont need spakers, we need action!

remeber the anarchist workers of 1886!
and give hope to all those working in poor conditions today!

They say they support the workers but I bet half of these tosspots haven't done a days work in their lives. But they'll happily destroy other people's places of work, or the property people had to work hard to afford.

And of course isn't it funny how Indymedia was originally created as an alternative to the mainstream who were giving the impression that anti-capitalists are violent thugs; and yet here you are, proud that these violent thugs are anti-capitalists.

What drugs you been doing Rich?

Lets break your shitty analysis up into little pieces and examine the reasons behind your inability to process info.

1, "They say they support the workers but I bet half of these tosspots haven't done a days work in their lives."

Are you a betting man Rich? Does all your analytical rhetoric revolve around making bets?

I bet you're a wanker.

2,"...they'll happily destroy other people's places of work, or the property people had to work hard to afford"

Is that what your view on big business is. Ask most people that work in big businesses in the west and especially at their production plants in the 'developing' world and most will probably tell you that they work hard and get nothing in return.

3,"And of course isn't it funny how Indymedia was originally created as an alternative to the mainstream who were giving the impression that anti-capitalists are violent thugs; and yet here you are, proud that these violent thugs are anti-capitalists."

Indymedia was made to either report events that are not reported in the mainstream media and to report events which are reported in the mainstream media, from another point of view. Of course rich what you will never understand is that to some people. (possibly yourself included) A smashed McDonald's/Nike/Gap/Starbucks/Coca Cola etc window is far worse than any crimes commited by these same companies all around the world. And thats where I think the real joke lyes.

SOLIDARITY TO MAYDAY RIOTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD
