(en) Britain, Class War: THE TRAFALGAR SOVIET OCTOBER 18th
Date
Mon, 14 Oct 2019 11:19:34 +0300
There is a happy circumstance in dates. On October 19th parliament is called to a special
session to discuss Brexit. ---- The day before XR are holding a PEOPLES SPEECH in Traf
Square to discuss the peoples response to the Queen's speech ---- XR lack nothing in
ambition so October 18th offers the opportunity to go one stage further and not demand
this or that but to take over the government and occupy parliament to prevent the session
the next day. A short walk to freedom, a demoralised and depleted and defeated police
force. ---- imagination seizes power ---- TEN DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD COPS ADMIT
DEFEAT.....'XR HAVE OUTFOXED US' ---- Activists are refusing to leave two-miles of London
roads with at least 5,000 people willing to be arrested by the Met - who are using up to
eight officers to pick up and carry each person to a police van. Thousands of activists
openly mocked the police's threats that they will be arrested unless they all move to
Trafalgar Square and stay off the streets (inset). But Scotland Yard's attempts to reopen
two miles of streets around Parliament failed within hours. Instead Extinction Rebellion
were able to set up a 'village' on the roads under Nelson's Column with its own improvised
cycle lane, food stalls, community kitchen and a 'well-being sanctuary' for tired or
stressed environmentalists as well as an extraordinary outdoor rave where people spent
hours 'dancing their feelings' (left). A group have also placed 800 potted trees outside
Parliament (right). Admitting defeat Inspector Simon Rooke, who is based in the square,
said: 'They are very well organised and very well-funded. That's all I can say'. Grant
Shapps, the Transport Secretary, whose building was blockaded this morning, said police
were not being 'proactive' enough and were instead 'standing around the edges' as the
activists grabbed control.
