A massive raid police took place yesterday on a squatted social centre in Stoke Newington on the pretext of a drugs raid and that electricity was being stolen. Computer equipment was seized in the raid so clearly this was an intellegence gathering operation. This is intimidation of the organisers of this years Mayday event. There were similar raids on squats last year in the run up to last years Mayday day of action.

There has already been police intimidation of website hosts who have been threated by police for hosting one of the Mayday websites. There are two major events this Mayday one is the Mayday march from Clerkenwell to Trafagar Square organised by Globalise Resistance and the TUC and the other is the Mayfayre in Mayfair organised by anarchists. The website for that event is here.

If their indimidation stops festering putrid tits like you from causing mayhem and spraying your "anti~capitalist" shit all over London then good for them.
They're intimidating people who plan to cause violence, graffiti and cause civil unrest. They're intimidating people who plan to systematically brake the law.
In case you hadn't noticed, that is their job.
You will find that if you put money into the country you will be afforded the same rights as everyone else.
The fact that you don't pay a penny to anything, means quite rightly that the police should be able to take a big shit on your head and kick you out on your arse.
GET A JOB
As for squatting the high price of property means that many people can't afford to rent or buy homes and squatters are putting to good use empty buildings by turning them into community centres that can be used for meetings and parties and raves. Most local appreciate what squatters do: Read the story of Cooltan Arts Centre a large squat the lasted for several years and provided a valuable service to the local community in Brixton.
Thanks.
When I visited the forum on one of those websites I was greeted with information on how to cause the maximum trouble possible.
Other questions included how best to assault a police officer, and how to avoid being identified.
Maybe the organisers had nothing to do with it, however they stand back and allow other people to plot violence.
You people are scum, the very thought of you makes me want to be physically ill.
When I join the police, I will make it my personal mission to find people like you and stomp your guts out.
As for squats being "beneficial to the local community" don't be so fucking stupid. Nobody wants to live in a house,where there are a bunch of drugged up dossers kipping next door for free.
Squatters are freeloaders, along with people who deliberately defraud the benefit and tax system. They are scum.
If you want to know how bad capitalism is read websites like http://www.corporatewatch.org/
As for squatting you should have read the article on the Cooltan squat in Brixton it provided loads for the local communities. Here is a quote from the article: It was a true co-operative squat that served the local community, offering art space, a café, office space for campaign groups, rehearsals rooms, darkrooms, and - of course - some of the best techno parties we've ever been to!
I already know about Capitalism. My A-lvel and degree assignments were on Globalisation. I know the upsides and the downfalls to capitalism.
Communism, is of no benefit to a modern society.
As for your "squat" how many real people actually went to it....?
you'll find that is an exception. Most squats are full of damned dossers who live there because they are unemployable. I've never heard of people wanting to do any form of public service like that, especially when they can't even afford their own accomodation.
They have a right to protest, some of you are going a bit far with your anti-anti-capitalist stance.
everyone has a right to protest. However the people from May day INTEND to cause violence. Or at the least don't intend to discourage people from it.
Don't deny it Stealgate you sod, I've read it with my own eyes, until the website owners wussed out and closed their forum.
I know it sounds sad, but major scientific breakthroughs with the exception of military and some medical research are mostly done by corporations, or sponsored by them in some way, and not the government.
You can't just blame corporations for global suffering. Without the support of local governments then the suffering would never happen.
You do the maths.
Oh, I forgot you cant, unless one of your communist fascist chums tells you the answer. 2+2=5, they say. Freedom is slavery they say. Sound familiar?
His first client is a labour politician. The pyschologist decides to ask them all one question to determine how good they are at answering questions. He asks the labour politician "what is 3+3?" The MP looks sheepish then says "it could be 6, but i'd have to consult the chancellor".
He then asks the tory candidate "what is 3+3?" The MP replies "the answer is 5, which goes to show that labour isn't doing its job with education".
The shrink then speaks to a communist candiadate and asks "what is 3+3?" The candiadate replies "what do you want it to make?"
Was that adressed to me Kermit?
i think he addressed it to SG.
SO first you complain about the forum being allowed on the website becuase it promots violence then, when the organisers remove such material, you... insult them for doing so. What you have basically said is that the organisers are wusses for not allowing people to plan organised violence on their website, which is used for planning a peaceful protest. Surely by removing the forum, they are trying to discourage it, or at least disassociate themselves from it.
The majority of people from MayDay do not want to cause violence, which is why they spend so much time and money organising peaceful ways to protest (cycling last year, drumming and singing around eros, pigeon feeding). There is a small minority that plan violence, and they should be stopped, but you can not take away everyones rights because of that. SOME people at a football match are going to be violent, but you couldn't prevent it by stopping everyone going to watch.
erm.... <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
shut up, I know what I meant <IMG SRC="tongue.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">. I wasn't complaining the forum was closed down, it was just an annoyance because I couldn't direct you to the topic which was actively supporting violence e.t.c.
I love the link about cops training at secret locations on how to best injure someonw with steel rods...dipshit, that isnt secret, but a function of the police when confronted by large unruly and violent mobs such as yours.
Id love to see you try that here in the US - the cops would have a field day with meatheads like you - not to mention the general public...your sites preach no war, no violence but at the same time preach assaulting cops?? I hope you get a good Rodney King style beatdown - that'll be one "funniest police videos" Ill be sure to buy.
Read about it here!
ooooh, not starbucks
<IMG SRC="rolleyes.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
You know, if I was organising protests and things, i'd try and smash something that is worthwhile, like government infrastructure. But you're too stupid for that thank God.
Ha I love it - you proved my point perfectly!! YOu say we're not advocating violence, yet the Seattle stupidity / shopping spree (lotsa looting) was ALL about violence.
Note that NikeTown and Starbucks both recorded thefts - I thought you good commie bastards wanted nothing to do with capitalism - yet you steal the very symbols of which you hate. Come to Boston Steal, Id love to introduce some of my rugby and police friends to you retards.
The fact remains that the organisers of MayDay removed such material, and in doing so are showing that they are not willing to be a part of any planned violence.
Capitalism causes the most damage and is wrecking the planet you should be angry about what damage capitalist corporation are doing to the world!
Visit Corporate Watch.
Just wanted to make sure that no one got the impression from that that all anarchists are intent on vilence <IMG SRC="smile.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
And I owuld condem those who are as they are only causing harm to the cause they claim to believe in.
On a side issue, how many anti-capitalists do you see with Nokia mobile phones, adidas trainers and gap hoodies? Surely they should be wearing nothing, seeing as how all clothes are made by evil expoliting capitalist scum?
