NEW FEATURE: Advice to Demonstrators After the Trashing of Millbank
Nov 17, 2010, 09:37
After the student occupation and trashing of Tory HQ last week, the police have been studying footage and tracking people down.

As many of them hadn't done anything like it before and were being easily picked off, the FITwatch site (which concentrates on the police's Forward Intelligence Teams - the ones who film and photograph people at demos and for thoughtcrime) put up some advice for those concerned.

The Metropolitan Police made the host take the FITwatxch site down for at least a year. So other sites around the world have been republishing the advice. It's the new Feature article on U-Know.

I'd read about that site being taken down, and wondered what the "offending" text was. Thanks Merrick.

On what grounds was the FITwatxch site taken down?
Was it "a threat to Democracy and The Freedom of Speech"? ;o)

I used to think that you ocassionally had some good things to say and some good insights too.
Not anymore.
Your U-Know article is primarily a primer on how to cover your tracks after commiting felonious acts.
Nice one Merick.
I also couldn't help but notice what a bandwagon jumper you were when AQK posted that awful and slanderous thread about Bono.
You Stink.

Frankly one of the anarchist Yahoo groups I'm on (at least) came to the conclusion "smashing stuff" just isn't the way to send a message. It just creates a stereotype the Right can use against them.

"What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or in the holy name of liberty"

.... and why give any lurking Fifth Columnists (you'd have to be mad to think there aren't plenty) the opportunity for an opening in any case?

As I have said before the left will always be judged by a higher standard. Long overdue that we got that message.

We learn something new every day.
I was, until now, unaware that participating in a demonstration is a felonious act.

No mention of fire extinguisher chucking in your article, is there?

Don't tell me...the police had magnets in their helmets and it was their fault.

The chucking of the fire extinguisher is of course far more important than what the demonstration was about.
