Guantanamo Bay 12

20.06.2005 23:49

WOW. This was a BIG ACTION. Absolutely hard hitting and thought inspiring.
How can anyone who saw these people on Friday, NOT make the links with Guantanamo Bay and the deliberate ignorance of and perversion of international law and human rights?
WELL DONE People. SERIOUSLY well done. I thought that M was joking when this idea was expressed and, although it seems like nearly all the press and G8 suits had "gone home" by then, I think that, from the photos at least, this seems like one of the top actions and demos in Sheffield in recent times, notwithstanding, the fairly regular Guantanamo/Belmarsh vigils at the Town Hall/Peace Gardens.

Gesture, certainly. This action gestures ignorant and unknowing people to look, think and talk about these IMPORTANT issues.
(Or maybe I miss the point and they were all just out having a laugh? Like you do?)

I doubt it. I praise it.
YA BASTA.

Was the "Star" article by AW "official" or "unofficial"? Were the Police and underwater explosive experts on duty at the G8 Sheffield "official" or "unofficial" and was the multi-millions of pounds forcibly taken from its people by its government in the name of "taxes" and used to help these "defence of the realm" thugs push, shove, kick and intimidate legitimate protests "official" or "unofficial"?

Maybe, the Star and authorities and "totally disinterested" Sheffield Public at large would take keener interest in unscrupulous and unjust world affairs if pesky (peace) protestors wore badges or clothing items labelled as "OFFICIAL PROTESTOR"!?
That would be the answer then, wouldnt it?

Please DO say, if your reply is "official" or unofficial".
(Blimey)!
