Review of December 9th 2010- DEMO DAY

So we marched, and in london we screamed, and in york we shouted, and we occupied and we marched again, with our placards and slogans, with our drums and our mates. And in some towns we got violent, and the police gave us a kicking, in london we were charged at by men on horse-back and beaten with batons (which are designed to break bone).  And still they voted for cuts.

But guess what.

We forced 3/4 of the Lib dems to vote against their own party.
They say this is the end? That's the biggest lib dem rebellion in years! This is not the end by far!
We can force this coalition to its knees and it is already crumbling.
The fact that they reacted so extremely to the protestors outside parliament yesterday proves just how scared they are of us. The fact that they deployed mount police to CHARGE the protestors, shows how terrified they are. 'the jackal is most ferocious when cornered' because it knows its in its death throes. The coalition is up against the wall, and they will try to hit us and beat us back with their riot police and their policies, but we are not going to give into that, OH NO. We will keep on at them, we will get organised and we will fight this battle on the internet, in the council chamber, on the streets AND IN PARLIAMENT. We do have people speaking for us, we do have people who support us, the fact that the york march once again got cheered on by passers by, is proof of that, the fact that the policeman in charge came up and shook our hands, is proof of that. We have never been alone in this, and we will keep organising ourselves. Our generation has finally woken up, we finally have something to bring us together, and by hell the coalition have no idea what they've done.
We will make sure they know soon enough.

  1. Right on. It's amazing to see people wake up and shake off the shackles of their own ignorance, and after so long. This is a beautiful moment for a country that forgot how to stand up for itself, we're learning to walk again, and by the time we're done we'll be marching up the steps of our leaders buildings to remind them that their complacence towards us and ours towards them has finally come to an end.
