In my never-ending pursuit to throw fuel on raging fires, here is a link to
SchNEWS, and their report on the March 26 demos. SchNEWS backs the
British street left, squatters, anarchists of all stripes. The item begins

"HUNDREDS of anti-royal anarchists ran riot across central London yesterday, turning
a peaceful demonstration about spending cuts into a class war" - Sunday Express

Well - somebody had to do it. - The TUC's glad-hand fest was never going to change
the ConDEMS course by even one degree. It was hijacked by anarchists and it deserved
to be. The TUC mobilised its masses and did everything they could to make sure that
genuine dissent didn't rear its ugly head. The emphasis was to be on a
family-friendly day out without frightening the horses. Quite who they think is going
to hand out prizes for niceness in the shark tank that is global capitalism remains a
mystery."

While I agree with the viewpoint that such actions are food for the
counter-revolutionaries,
the line "family-friendly day out without frightening the horses" deserves respect.
