Boris – A Taste of Things to Come

Class war is well and truly back on the streets of London after the Home Counties elected bumbling toff Boris Johnson to become Mayor.

Demonstrators outside city hall were met with TSG and FIT Teams who took it upon themselves to protect the BNP and force legal protest off the streets.

About 100 people turned out to the demonstration last night against this sham democracy to demand ‘Neither crook, nor toff, nor copper nor fascist’. Banners were held aloft reading ‘This is Anti-Fascism’ whilst red and black flags dotted the skyline.

It wasn’t to last however as scores of TSG appeared and began physically assaulting tourists and demonstrators alike. Several people were forced into a police pen and surrounded whilst others were pushed back as far as London Bridge, to the pub … lucky bastards.

Those of us held in the police pen repeatedly questioned under what legislation this effective mass arrest was being carried out. Aside from occasional grunts of breach of the peace and anti-social behaviour this was never really answered.

Meanwhile fascists were freely congregating outside the City Hall.

After a couple of hours of being ogled by tourists genuinely shocked at the behaviour of the police in what they presumed was a ‘free country’ the police began to release people one by one taking names and addresses (under threat of arrest) and photographing everyone as they left.

Some hardy souls refused to leave the pen unless they were permitted to leave together and about 15 people were detained a further couple of hours.

A later mercy mission by protesters to take them some chips found that they had finally been released and the BNP were still lording it outside City Hall. This led to angry confrontations and the police once again chose to side with the fascists and forced protesters out of the area under threat of arrest and with a police escort.

At least three people were arrested over the course of the evening, why is not yet clear.

We won’t miss Ken but this is only the start of what’s set to become a vicious struggle over the next four years. Expect strikes, protests and riots as a new generation learn for themselves what scum the Tory Party are.
