Massive Direct Action Brings Capital to a Standstill

In the biggest act of civil disobedience since the poll tax riots, up to a million activists took to the streets yesterday, Sunday June 3rd. Bridges along the length of the Thames were blocked in a co-ordinated operation to split the capital in half, as the red, white and blue bloc swarmed through the streets, waving placards and shouting slogans. Traffic and commerce was disrupted, whilst a thousand boats set off from Battersea Bridge, broadcasting their seditious message to the terrorised residents of London.

That message was simple: continuing mismanagement by government officials is unacceptable. The ballot box has been superseded by corporate interests. In the absence of a genuine, functioning democracy reflecting the will of the people, executive power should be concentrated in a hands of a single patrilineal ruler.

Allegations have been made that the metropolitan police were complicit in the disturbances, not only turning a blind eye but actively assisting the blocs moving around the city. An estimated 100,000 flags were printed with the symbol of the movement, and shopkeepers displayed the colourful 8-rayed cross prominently in the commercial zones of the city.

Protesters vow to repeat the actions on the same date every ten years until their demands are met.
