‘Leicester Antifascists’ vandalise EDL bus company, Leicester

from Indymedia UK (29 sept 2012):

communique:

Last night we took action against G H Watts coach company at their depot on Foxholes Road, Braunstone, Leicester. Their gates were D locked shut in a number of places and their locks were glued. We did this because G H Watts have consistently supported the EDL over the past few years (1).

The EDL are nothing more than class traitors. Their leadership have formed an alliance with investment bankers and property speculators who send their army of useful idiots to do their bidding (2). They try to blame all of society’s ills on their favourite scapegoats, the Muslims, in the same way that the Nazis blamed Germany’s problems on the Jews. These attempts to divide the working class along lines of race and religion divert anger away from our real class enemies: capitalists, politicians and bosses.As antifascists we see it as our duty to combat the reactionaries of the EDL and all the tiny groups riding along on their coat tails. This includes taking action against companies that profit from their politics of hatred.

For working class action against fascism! No pasaran! – they shall not pass.

(1) G H Watts have carried EDL members from across the East Midlands to their demos since at least April 2011 according to the East Midlands Antifascists blog: http://emaf.noblogs.org/post/2012/07/21/i-think-i-see-a-pattern-here/
They were used by Leicester and Nottingham divisions at the last demo at Walthamstow:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2012/09/499460.html

(2) The EDL has been revealed to be funded by people like investment banker and promoter of Muslim genocide, Alan Ayling (AKA Alan Lake) and blood sucking property speculator, Ann Marchini.

Arrest of alleged members of ‘dissident’ republican ‘spy ring’, Dublin

From the capitalist press (27 sept 2012):

Irish police have cracked what is believed to be a dissident republican spy ring close to the operational headquarters of the Garda Siochana in Dublin.

Two men were arrested after Gardai raided a bedroom of a Dublin hotel in the city’s Harcourt Street area.

Hi-tech surveillance equipment was found in the room and in a follow-up operation the pair aged 32 and 41 were arrested on Grafton Street, Dublin’s most famous shopping thoroughfare. It is believed the men were tailed from the hotel where the raid took place.

It is thought the hotel room was being used to electronically eavesdrop on anti-terrorist detectives at the premises overlooking the Harcourt Street Garda station where operations against republican dissident terror groups takes place. The devices found inside room also included cameras trained on the Garda HQ.

The pair are being held under Section 30 of the Irish Republic’s Offences Against the State Act for membership of an unlawful organisation and providing assistance to an unlawful organisation.

The men who are from Cabra in north Dublin and Tallaght in the west of the city can be held for up to three days before they are either charged or released.

‘Petty Vandals’ sabotage G4S vehicles, Nottingham

From Indymedia Nottingham (26 sept 2012):

communique:

In the early hours of this morning in South Nottingham two G4S vehicles came a cropper. We slashed their tires, stripped their paint, and snapped off their exgaust pipes. 

Why would we do this? Out of disgust for the ways in which G4S are encroaching on our lives, as they profit from this prison world. 

From the prisons and detention centres they run, which they endlessly seek to expand into our day to day existance. They now run accomodation for refugees and asylum seekers in Nottingham and the East of England, meaning that those that have been kidnapped, tortured and imprisoned by G4S now have G4S as their landlords.

We know that this will not be the end of this G4S will come after all social housing, as they dutifully obey the rules of this society of control. Where the goals are too have the working class monitored, categorised and punished at all times.  G4S are not the reason for this, they are merely a vehicle for capitalists to make their profit from. But they are a mercenary bunch of thugs who should be challenged at every front by those of us whose lives they wish to seize. Fuck them, because they try to hurt us. Fuck them for attacking our communities. Fuck them for the devastation they have caused. Fuck them we will fight back, us petty vandals, us angry fools, us untamed vagrants.

This one goes out to the kids, the ones who kick back against authoirty at every turn. This one goes out to our sisters and brothers who are locked away, we don’t forget you, we never will.

Til every cage is empty, and we’re beating the capitalist bosses with the metal bars.

John Bowden – Time To Get Him OUT!

From 325:

Militant prisoner John Bowden has been locked behind bars for more than three decades, and the prison authorities continue to do everything they can to keep him there. In the past, he was punished with beatings and brutality to try and break his spirit, and to stop him participating in organised resistance to prison repression. In more recent years the State have used prison-hired quacks like Matthew Stillman, and now Marc Kozlowski, and scumbag Probation workers like Brendan Barnett to do their dirty work. Despite the recommendations of the Parole Board more than a year ago that John Bowden be moved to an open nick and be prepared for release, the screws are determined to keep John inside.

Leeds ABC are launching a new campaign to get John out of jail, details of a Day of Action, the first salvo in this renewed campaign in support of John, will be posted shortly. We hope that comrades everywhere will join us in supporting John Bowden and in demanding that he be freed from jail.

Below is a link to the Leeds ABC website containing an update of John’s situation:

Mystery attacker wages war on speed cameras, Kent

Fuck the cameras and the surveillance society!

From the capitalist press (sept 14 2012):

A mystery attacker is risking jail by waging war on the county’s speed cameras.

In a widespread campaign, many of Kent’s roadside spy cameras were defaced with stickers daubed over the lenses around a month ago.

Workers at the Kent and Medway Safety Camera Partnership got stuck in to remove the stickers and glue and clean the lenses.

But the culprit has now struck again – renewing their vendetta against the cameras in the last 24 hours.

A partnership spokesman said the group didn’t have the resources to keep undoing the damage – which renders the cameras useless.

In last month’s spate nine out of the county’s 76 cameras were defaced – with a further three targeted this month.

Some more countryside fires…

People have been setting fire to hay bales, barns, even ‘biomatter’ for these bullshit biofuel power stations, through out the British countryside. Here are a few recent examples culled from the capitalist media:

In Southbourne, West Sussex, a barn was set on fire in the evening of Friday (September 14) at approximately 9.45pm. The fire was already well alight upon the arrival of fire crews. Police seek the anonymous perpetrator(s). [Source]

On the night of Saturday (September 15) more than 7,000 tonnes of wood, piled up at a recycling plant inside a former ironworks in the Stanton Area, Derbyshire, caught fire  sending plumes of smoke towering into the skies. At its height, more than 60 firefighters battled the blaze. The station manager said: “There’s been a previous fire locally that we thought was deliberate so I think it’s unlikely this was accidental.” [source]

On September 16 firefighters in Cambridgeshire were called to a 3,000 tonne stack of straw in the March area after what they believe was a deliberate arson. The fire burned for three days. [source]

Firefighters were called to two haystacks on fire in Lincolshire on the night of 19 September. The first blaze was 36 half-tonne bails. A PCSO reckons they saw two ‘suspicious’ looking vehicles in the area they day before but so far the police apparently have no solid leads. [Source]

The next night an industrial cattle farmers barn in Blyton, Lincolnshire, was set on fire destroying the building and the straw and hay inside. [source]

Quacker church burned, Gloucester

The luciferic flame of religious desecration and iconoclastic fury strikes again! Even the Quakers are not spared. From the capitalist press (20 September 2012)

AN arson attack may be to blame for a fire which devastated a Quaker’s meeting place. The Friends Meeting House at Greyfriars, off Southgate Street, has been left a blackened shell of its former self after the suspected deliberate attack. Vandals struck between 11pm on Wednesday last week and 10.30am the next day. It is thought a window was smashed and a fire started inside the property. Builders and decorators are now working to bring the building back into use. The attack is being linked to three other suspicious fires as police launch an investigation. A wooden outbuilding caught fire at a business in Kimbrose Way on August 29. There was a fire in a large bin at the rear of a hotel on Southgate Street in the early hours of July 17. And an outbuilding at a hotel on Commercial Road was ablaze overnight between July 3 and July 4.
