The not so occupy newcastle goes home

anon anarchist r | 03.01.2012 17:54 | Occupy Everywhere | Analysis | Ecology

Occupy newcastle today ceased and went home today occupy newcastle had turned into a joke full of druggies and homeless dossers.

The camp strated with good intentions but they were quickly washed over with hippy politics and thefts became the norm the police were laughing at the camp and the homeless dossers were treating the camp as another soup kitchen the camp lost all support from the left and even bemused the right wing the camp has lasted over 9 weeks amazingly i only hope that the camp re fourms but hosts Proper political opions not hippy politics . ONE SOLUTION ANARCHIST REVOLUTION

Just an apology, as another geordie anarchist revolutionary, for the dumbness of that post. I'm sure a more thoughtful report'll circulate somewhere soon.

Its so easy to get on a downer about things like this, I am not an occupier, but learning about the movement and visiting camps has given me hope, and lots of otherstoo. So thankyou occupiers for your actions!
The occupations have succeeded in stimulating discussion and manifesting indignation, but it is an inevitability that any inner city encampment will become a haven for the vulnerable. These vulnerable people won't just go away. As our society becomes more individualistic, they will multiply. Hopeless dropouts they may be but why did they give up hope and what did they drop out of?
One of the main issues I have with the status quo is our treatment of the vulnerable. Its not my job, its not my problem...... they say.....

response re. occupy newcastle unoccupied...

Firstly, I am disappointed by the low level of spelling, punctuation etc. and the fact that this is the only report.
Secondly, perhaps we have here the anonymous individual who decided to (mis)inform the police that occupy newcastle had ended. I've got a suspicion that you are not as anonymous as you think.
Unfortuantely the misconduct of certain individuals around the camp did contribute to the demise of the camp itself; but Occupy activists are, well, active. Occupy is just the beginning.
See you soon.

Effective dis-banderment of the occupy camp

One wonders if MI5 will see this as an effective strategy for the future. "Homeless and druggies" working for their paymasters in the government, their mission to disrupt the occupy camps.

Trust me Mi5 have way more important things to worry about. Occupy will fall apart all by itself without involvement form any body else.
