Has FAI/ALF burnt down GSK building in Nottingham?

Animal Lover | 13.09.2014 11:13 | Animal Liberation | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Cambridge | World

A raging fire has destroyed a multi-million pound building at Nottingham University which was part funded by global chemical criminals GlaxoSmithKline...Begging the question, is this a political action?

Tactics of the FAI/ELF/ALF have often involved destroying buildings or attacking buildings as protest or direct action against those companies and other organisations involved in the global capitalist system, including animal torture, global policing, water control, banking, probation, etc and with the fire in Bristol that destroyed a police training building and the bombing of Yate magistrate court, things have certainly been hotting up on the UK mainland in terms of actions claimed by groups or individuals with affinities to the ideas and actions of the Informal Anarchist Federation and the Animal Liberation Front, Earth Liberation, etc.

Could this Nottingham Uni blaze be an action and are we to soon read a communique from a group stating that this was a political action? If it was, it would send a message to those responsible for animal torture or the funding of animal torture and to the tentacles of the system on the whole that action comes in the dead of the night as well as in banner waving a-to-b protests (which dominated the anti-nato effort last week).

What is known for a fact is that no one has been injured in the fire (another tactic of the ALF affinity is to avoid people or other animal injury) and the building is completely fucked up. So surely this is a win-win, even if the building caught fire by accident...which I strongly doubt.

If this was an action, I hope whoever did it stays safe and is never caught, because if it was an action it takes a very brave person or group of people to strike out against the enemies of the planet and of freedom for animals.

And, if it does end up being an accident not caused by a person or group with affinity to any groups then, oh well....at least a building that was funded by GSK has been destroyed.
