Anarchy in the UK Reviews

Mayday has always been the prime time for protests, and there always seems to be several arrests to coincide with them, and a general subdued almost fearful atmosphere form the folk uninvolved(by far the majority) that once again the thugs will come along with hippies to ruin the day yet again. It seems to me that there has been an awful ...

The only anarchy in the UK this year was the damp squib re-release of a Sex Pistols oldie. But the ness that Lottery money is to be spent on helping asylum seekers fight deportation may kick of the first one. It was nearly an asylum seeker issue that did set of the first summer un-rest in the two children being dragged out of a mosque by the ...

Home Office statistics: - Blacks are 53 times more likely to commit inter-racial homicide than whites, while Asians are 17 times more likely. - Non-whites are at least 26 times - and up to 43 times more likely to commit a racially motivated offence against a white person than vice-versa. - Ethnic crime costs Britain at least £5.7 ...

UPDATE: Fortunately this year's events were relatively trouble free. My opinion still stands, however and I think there is a valuable message.... @@@@@@@@@ Well, the warning email has just dropped into my mailbox at work. Caution should be exercised and meetings rearranged on May 1 due to a real threat of violence in ...

Maybe doesn't achieve too much, but how else can you protest? - Advantages: How else can you protest?, Shows the violence comes equally fom the police, Gets noticed worldwide - Disadvantages: Twisted by capitalist media

First of all I cannot but wonder if John Lydon is laughing or protecting his assets. If you dont know who Lydon is, he was the front man of the Sex Pistols, a band which made alot of money from promoting anarchy. But ask them how they felt when they toured Texas. They got the shit beat out of them. It seems the cowboys didnt understand their over ...

More support will be gained by non-violent protesters - Advantages: shows their views, gets the media interested, might gain support - Disadvantages: someones going to get hurt, why not use peaceful protest?, maybe dooyoo? :)

A little background information on the big day.. Echelon is a computer system run by the US National Security Agency, The European arm is based at Menwith Hill near Harrogate in the UK. The base cannot be missed as you drive west on the A159 out of Harrogate, it looks like some thing out of a Quatermass movie, with its dozens of truly ...

By gad, it makes my blood boil even thinking about these loony pinko rotters who call themselves ant-capitalists. They should be strung up, the lot of them. If they just put down their bricks, begging caps, and dogs-on-strings for one moment, they’d see that capitalism is actually a jolly good thing for one and all. You see wealth ...

People have got anti-capitalists all wrong... Anti-capitalists have a valid view about the way the governments are run, because they don't get much attention, they have to organise rallies and protest marches. However, the sad thing is that many people see these marches as a way of getting involved in a fight or a riot. Most of the people who ...

The may day riots have been and gone but nevermind, eh. Anti-capitalists are portrayed as thugs and maybe some are, but if we lived in a true democracy there would be no need for these riots. Capitalists are responsible for many of the ills in the world, environmental and social. Everything is done for profit and profit neglects the welfare of ...

Perhaps it is just the British reputation for being reserved, but the state of general pessimism in this country is becoming all encompassing- and that pessimism breeds problems, lack of any cohesion in society, and eventually anarchy. Let me explain. If you’re no good at arithmetic, or art, or tennis, or just about anything else, ...

Anarchists and anti-capitalists together ? What a sad abuse of our language and any understanding of what these terms should truly be about. I can see why people want to describe themselves as 'anti-capitalists' - they are, in my opinion, usually sad little losers who can't hack it in a competitive environment, are too lazy or ...

Last night there was more rioting in Bradford where the police took great casulties and many people were hurt. Many shops and cars were torched and lot's of asian owned shops were left alone. The police were short numbered and the rioters were mainly asians that were protesting against a NAZI march which should never have been ...

I support ANY non-violent protest, whether I agree with its cause or not. As for anti-capitalists, I don`t believe that they`re EXACTLY THE SAME any more than I believe Conservative, Labour or Lib` Dem` voters are EXACTLY THE SAME. Are all Christians EXACTLY THE SAME? Of course not. Thuggery is not exclusive to ...

Once again, I fear, I'm going to be accused of paranoia, or naivety or something, but, hey, it would be dull if we all agreed. I do accept that much about the anti-capitalist demonstrations is useless and even counterproductive. I do accept that such demonstrations attract an element who are simply spoiling for a fight (and no, for ...

Why is it that in modern, liberated, free speaking countries, people feel it is necessary to ruin reasonable protests with crime and violence? That is the way I see protestors in London nowadays. 100 years ago or even 50 years ago, these stupid individuals would have had a good battering from the powers that be. Now they seem to get ...

My family have been right in the middle of the oldham race riots. The petrol bombs,youths throwing huge slabs, at the cars of asian people, are but a few of the things we have had to witness this weekend. We have been scared to sleep,i havent slept since saturday,its now tuesday.We had to barricade ourselves in our home ...

I have just reminded myself what Anarchy means:in the English Reference Dictionary ,the meaning given this word is:1)Abscence of government or control,resulting in lawlessness.2)Disorder,confusion. So everone,needs to obey the laws of the particular land they live in. In this instance we are looking at the U.K. As an ...

"If you're coming into London today, watch out for the anti-capital protestors. I don't know what they're so upset about, Capital isn't THAT bad a radio station!" And so the morning began with a joke. Meanwhile in the city security was upped just about everywhere. The police presence was unmissable, city workers ...
