Not sure if there's a thread on this yet. I am thinking of joining in the new year if my sleep and anxiety improve.


I didnt know whether to put this in current events or here but i settled for here.

heres a quote from ian bones blog from an action at the same shop recently (not anything to do with ukuncut btw)

Quote:
YIPPPEEE! Osborne and Little in the Kings Road was forced to close today by anarchists.By 4 of us orginally then numbers swelled to 7 with 3 more in the Cadogan Arms later! Punters were turned away being told Osborne had been arrested for tax evasion and that a fire sale of liquidated stock would happen soon. All to believable when they saw uniformed police inside the shop, blinds drawn and a notice on the door saying shop was closed.People were shocked to realise it was Osborne’s family business – keep that quiet – and thumbs up support came from white van men, builders and postmen as well as surprised shoppers.No doubt Osborne won’t notice much discomfort from a few unsold ottomans but it’s a start. We’ll be calling another action at Osborn and Little next month.

It's good to have these guys & the 38 degrees lot getting more of us involved & thinking we possibly can make some sort of difference, even if it only ends up annoying the power monkeys for a while. Beats 'hanging on in quiet desperation' any day.

In theory i'd like to go the March 26th rally, but the thought of being stuck in a crowd of thousands of people constrained & shouting whilst trying to avoid police cordons bring me out in a cold sweat. I need a remote controlled robot I could send in lieu of me, one with lots of arms to hold up several pithily insulting signs at once :lol:
