>I ment to update this blog at the weekend, but sadly didn’t have time. Oh
well better late than never. My friend & I didn’t get to St Pauls till quite late
in the day, so no didn’t aee Julian Assange or hear him speak. On arrival
found that the police were blocking the road. However, a nice chap told us
to nip round a back street to where we could get through police lines &
into the Demo. Wasn’t that many Tents erected at the time, though that
had changed before we left later on that evening. Overall the atmosphere
was good, only a couple of scuffles when the police lines started to begin
their kettling manovers, moving in & enclosing people into a smaller &
smaller space. However, people sitting down row upon row, seemed to
stop them from making the enclosure very small. The Police tactic of the
day was to spend a couple of hours not letting anyone in or out, then a
couple of hours letting people in & out. So it wasn’t just a case of trapping
people for hours on end. Contrary to many of the rightwing comments I
have seen flying about the internet stating that the protesters are all
unwashed workshy spongers. The protesters we met are people that have
come together, from all spectrums of society, who have had enough of a
failing global economic system. A System that does not work to give
security or a decent standard of living for the majority of humanity. Neo
Liberal Capitalism has continually shown itself to be a system that works
for the few at the cost of the many. It is evolving in such a ways as to begin
the creation of a Global Feudal Society. A system that privatises profit &
power (for the few) & socialises debt & poverty (too the many). My friend & I cannot stay at the occupation site, however we intend to keep on on
visiting the occupation whenever we can for as long as we can. My hope
is that others will do the same,in regards to all the occupation sites across the UK & where they are taking place around the world, as this will keep numbers up & will not let the impact of this important Global protest fade away.

Finally a Big Shout Out to those people who are on the Jarrow to London March(another social protest not seen or heard much in the mainstream press. This march began 75 years after the original march of October 1936. It is a march for jobs & will be arriving In London on November the 5th ending in a rally at Trafalgar Square.

>The Great British Whitewash

What a Bloody whitewash

Phone hacking (illegal)..isnt a problem, the `incestuous’ relationship between Politicians,Police hierarchy & media isnt a problem?

This is part of a collective problem in the UK

Politicians & Police are supposed to be PUBLIC SERVANTS..this means they serve the public, It’s an important point to understand. So i’ll repeat it

PUBLIC SERVANTS = SERVE THE PUBLIC

That’s us oiks by the way, y’know, those of us that work hard (when we can get employment) & pay our full taxes, & not use loop holes (heck could we ever earn enough) to hide money off shore.

As for the press, Murdoch wants to own a paper, no problem, wants to own a tv station..again no problem.

Murdoch wants to own a majority of news print in uk, wants to have majority in tv, satalite or internet ISP platform in the uk. Well that is not only a big bias problem, its also a monopoly.

Yet throughout all this, we see in all the media apologist for for news corp & neoliberalism capitalism policies which allow for this corporate corruption to keep churning on & on

Yes that even includes The Guardian
