The Chicken & The Egg: London unions school Madison mobs on anarchy


Today, England’s trade unions and their friends on the Left had a massive demonstration on the streets of London. It devolved into ‘madness‘ as anarchists hijacked the demonstration, breaking in windows, assaulting police, and generally causing mayhem. Union leaders were not displeased.

Trade union leaders, who put on 600 coaches and nine trains to ferry protesters to the capital, insisted they only wanted a ‘safe, well-stewarded and family-friendly event’

But Len McCluskey, leader of the country’s biggest union, ramped up the rhetoric, saying anger towards cuts in public spending ‘needs to find a release’.

Here is that anger being released (complete with face masks, backpacks, and cans of spray paint)…

Via the Telegraph:

Hundreds of activists – many wearing masks and hoods – disrupted traffic, set off fireworks and flares in the busiest areas of the city including Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street and Regent Street.

Lightbulbs filled with ammonia and paintbombs were thrown at police as they desperately tried to keep the peace.

Topshop and HSBC had their windows smashed, while paint and glass bottles were thrown at a Royal Bank of Scotland branch. The marauders also attacked The Ritz near Green Park, where they smashed windows with bins and road signs.

UK Uncut, an anti-cuts direct action group, later occupied the Fortnum & Mason store in Piccadilly, claiming the firm had ‘dodged’ paying taxes.

Nine arrests were made and some police officers were injured.

Wow! Now we know to what levels America’s union bosses aspire.

The liberal media spin rolls on. What kind of anarchist protests GOVERNMENT cut backs?

PERSUASION by ANDY STERN

Asked about his organizing philosophy, Andy Stern summed it up this way: “[W]e prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.” MM

This is the motus operandi of ALL unions filled with communist thugs and ruled by communist thugs!

There comes a time, even in a modern liberal democratic republic or constitutional monarchy

Adjoran (Diary) Sunday, March 27th at 2:44AM EDT (link)

when preserving public order and protecting private property simply MUST be done.

In this case, the failure to crack heads is a failure of good government.

And since it is England

they don’t even have to worry about knocking out the anarchists’ teeth.

 
 

Incredible

That they did not put a stop to this behavior. What has happened to UK?

We Reap What We Sow

What has happened in the UK? Indeed Annas, what has happened in Greece? Wisconsin? We have raised a bunch of adults without discipline, taught to expect rewards without working for them…reminds me of the children in the book ‘Lord of the Flies’. Only they are children…these thugs are adults who are acting before they are thinking. I don’t think they were taught to think. We reap what we sow.

 
 

If England wants to stop this kind of behavior, it will. If it doesn't...it won't. nt

England really needs to bring back the riot act.

acat (Diary) Sunday, March 27th at 6:22AM EDT (link)

For those not familiar, back in the day Her Majesties’ representative would read the riot act aloud, something like “Disperse now in the name of the Queen” … and because of what comes next, often times the crowd woudl disperse.

If not, then the cops, sometimes with the army to increase their numbers, would wade in, cracking skulls.

More effective than the current “just stand there and take it” nonsense.

The BBC was right there promoting the thugs' actions

One would think the Labor standard bearer calling for all this ruin would shock and awe some of the population. The problem is that England has been handing out payments to everyone, students, housewives (for being housewives), the unemployed,and the every one else, so that when gov’t says it will not be paying you for nothing anymore, hackles are liable to raise.

We should pay attention ourselves. 26 weeks of unemployment has morphed into 3 years and the Disabilities Fund of Social Security is in worse shape than the old age stipend part of the org.

Originally, Soc. Sec. was for the purpose of supplementing savings for the retired, and it has morphed into a widows and orphans fund, a disabilities honey pot–all students with learning disabilities are now eligible–if you figure my former high school alone now has 25% LD’s, that’s a whole lot of money (you can thank Dole and George HW there), and support of the aged in place of savings dealie, then you know why Soc. Sec. is the third rail that frightens everyone.

 

I suppose England is now in the past.

Sigh.
Nice knowing them but when the BBC is promoting or encouraging sedition against their own nation when the whole thing collapses it makes me wonder if the last thing the BBC does is put out a documentary called “how we helped to destroy Great Britain” before the looters strip their offices bare.

The anarchists claim they are demonstrating due to deep budget cuts.
Here in the US we MUST have the same, deep until there is pain.
The liberal, progressive, unionistas, all the usual suspects: nuts, flakes and fruits are planning the same for us.
I submit as evidence the following:

the AP headlines from yestreday said the demonstrations were “mostly peaceful”!

When I look at Barack Obama I don’t see black. I don’t see white. I do, however see RED! It’s the same color I see when I look at Pelosi, Reid, ACORN, SEIU…
