Attacks on Mitie in Bristol

Arson and damage against Mitie vehicles in Bristol

Over the weekend we attacked 2 different Mitie vans. Behind the "Bush" pub 5 minutes from Templemeads, on a sunny evening during rush hour we took the opportunity to spike two wheels and pour paint stripper over the vehicle. We may have been seen, so what, good luck to em, we look just like everyone else.

We chose not to only push our struggle in the hours of darkness, recognising that our expressed anger, if witnessed, probably leaves a question in the mind of the onlooker. On this occasion we decided the risk was worth it. We also burnt a Mitie van in East Bristol, setting fire to it at night.

Mitie are one of several companies to have benefited hugely from the privatisation started by Thatcher in the 1980s. The outsourcing of immigration prisons such as Campsfield was one step in building an empire which now includes prisons, youth offender institutes, probation services, and extends to housing and "sustainable" energy sources. We are not asking for state controlled versions of the above. But calling for fire to all prisons - immigration, youth or otherwise.

As well as "detention centres", Mitie now run 6 different prisons -including 2 youth offender institutes. They are partners with the UK Border agency and the Prisons Service. Last year workers for Mitie in London went on strike after a pregnant worker was badly mistreated, and ended up in hospital whilst working for Mitie.

Across the country, people of all ages are placed in the "care" of Mitie and are beaten and denied their freedom. These small actions are in solidarity with them, and anyone who was on the streets this weekend.

Mitie claims to support people but their move into housing and energy do nothing to change the fact that they are intent on profiting from any aspect of life.

Fire to the prisons!
Burn in hell Maggie!

I work for Mitie and as a mobile engineer.If you set fire to a vehicle belonging to Mitie it is a simple insurance claim to the company but the tools and the equipment inside the van belong to the engineer in most cases so the person suffering from your actions is not a large company but a working man who has had to struggle to pay for the tools you have destroyed.And if you think i should not be working for mitie please find me a job that will support my family in the current economic climate.
