The queen she came to call on us...![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Questions surrounding visits of war criminals/ imperialist scum With the arrival dates of our 'masters' getting closer and closer are we geting closer to a more unified objection on the days of their visiting. I know there has been several discussions and a few highlighting protests about it but how are we going to give the best collective account of ourselves on the days. I just have the feeling that every body is thinking that there are 'others' working away and planning and organising 'behind the scenes'. Great if this is the case but I feel it disempowers a lot of people. There should be room for everyone to make their objection in whatever level they feel comfortable with. One sentiment I have heard bandied is that it will be just 'everyone in' like in Love Ulster' day. I really dont think the police and the authorities are going to be as caught out like that again so that is one avenue that needs to be explored more. Eirigi in fairness to them have at least committed to a time and a place for a focus point and as much as I could argue that there is a chance this could play into the hands of policing situation in regards hemming in /ketling, I do think it is a honest principled stand to make and it is giving their supporteres a rallying spot. So other than the Garden of rememberence is any of the other groups focussing on the many other spots obomba and lizzy are rumoured to surface. I am just envisioning a bit of a benny hill few days running from barrier to barrier if there arent concrete plans. I dont want groups to indulge in plans here but is their even a collective aim of what the different groups want to do. Are we better going down the spectacle of defiance route or organising alternative peace and freedom party etc. |
