Oh yes, and a cursory glance at the Evening Standard (I know I shouldn't read that shit, but it's the horoscopes I just can't resist) the other day saw some stuffy declarations about how awful it was that some anarchists were planning to ruin 'the nation's special day of celebration' (can you guess what it is yet?) by protesting or organizing actions around the Royal Wedding.
I'm pretty disgusted that we're all supposed to be celebrating a couple of rich people getting married whilst the welfare state is being trashed. Why are we meant to revel in the privilege of a couple of rich white hetties from a posh family again? Yuck!
Oh well, at least we get a holiday.
Same goes for cops who were 'baffled' why someone would smash the olympic clock. Perhaps a few thoughts about what having that event does to the communities and parts of London where it is held. Rent goes up, squatters kicked out, excuse for more state control, police presence, racial profiling, upping of prices, and all that other shit. And like the Royal Wedding we are reminded of it every day and what a great honour it is.
No fecking thanks mate.
