Occupy London ans al-Qaida

Would you class occupy London and al-Qaida as the same?

Whos next? The WI?

This is exactly why we, the people, need to demand far more protection of our personal rights. They have been eroded severely over the past 2 decades and it is only going to get worse.

George Orwell said it quite succinctly: “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.”

The article says "Activism is not a crime".

But what about when they do things like this?

James Bulger's mother devastated as Love Activists 'use banner of her son as battering ram'

Around 40 activists descended on Mayor's charity event at the Titanic Hotel and 20 attempted to smash their way into banqueting hall

In Liverpool they initially had support, then completely trashed an empty building they took over.

Yea they said they wanted a nice building as a shelter for the homeless, one not dilapidated.

Within a month of them being there the place was ruined and a total dump.

Useless bunch of layabout scumbags.

So does that mean we should give the police unfettered rights to intervene when they deem necessary?

In respect of the Love activists issue, why not let the police simply use their existing statutory prerogatives to intervene when they deem necessary, as before? I believe the relevant charges are trespass and criminal damage. No need for new/extra/unfettered powers.

Occupy may not be terrorists, but they are certainly extremists of the political sort, and the document in question is an advisory about upcoming local events/issues likely to trouble the peace locally, and clearly refers to both 'terrorism' and 'extremism'.

What's all the fuss about?

Some anti-austerity anarchists opposed to the existence of the state, not wanting to be designated as extremists?

Sounds like the same logic as being anti-austerity anarchists and wanting their benefits, tbh
