London's Calling, Part III (sort of)

I was going to write some more about the G8 situation having been fed more info from my man on the scene. With today’s events in London, however, the activities of a small group of educated but dumb middle class Europeans with a grudge seems to fade rather quickly down the scale of significance.
They should don their black fascist uniforms and come to London. I would like to see them fighting bombs in the Underground. If you believe in something, stand up and be counted. Be proud of your convictions. The Black Bloc and their supporters are cowards, hiding behind masks and their constitutional rights.
My admiration today goes to all Londoners and the people working in our great city.
We work so others don’t have to, bombs or no bombs.
My man on the scene did tell me something amusing, however. Yesterday evening it became clear that police were planning to raid the eco-site in Stirling. Because the site consists of activists from all over Europe who all have different ideologies and views, it took ages to reach any form of decision with regards to how they should tackle the potential eviction. Meeting after meeting had filled the day, all inconclusive. Because there exists no hierarchy in a gathering such as the one found in Stirling, no one could agree and reach a middle ground from which to proceed. Anarchy indeed.Two acquaintances of mine were supposedly arrested yesterday and had their court case this afternoon. My man on the scene said he’d go see them and offer some support. Although I will be relieved when I know that they have been released, I still harbour little sympathy for them. Play with fire and you will get burnt. It is only a question of time (right or wrong) that people who time and time again get involved in nefarious socio-political activities, whilst being on the dole, living in squats and generally not contributing much except pseudo-aggressive will be picked up by the authorities.
