Making Poor History

The true face of ideologies clashing is finally showing itself after the Live8 diversion.

I have little time for the Womble types who ponce about chasing police but never doing any real work to organise change but then what the fuck do I do? Reading here though it seems the usual police tactics of being nice to the demo that isn't really challenging anything and coming down hard on real dissent, however monosyllabic, is the order of the day.

And it's bound to get worse by Wednesday.

And by the end of the G8 there'll be a triumphant declaration of victory against poverty, Gandalf will be declared King and Tony and Gordon will drown in their own smugjuice.

And the whole thing will be bollocks. As of course Mr Pilger puts so well here.

So after the Pimms and Midge and Madge, Trevor, Dubya, Bill and Dido and the Golden Potato Salad it would at least suggest we're not all doomed if Gleneagles was blockaded tomorrow and our great leaders had to fuck off back home....
