COUNTER PUNCH

Over 30 protesters showed up to voice their discontent at the warmongering parasites assembled for the Counter Terror Expo 2010 in London’s Olympia in Kensington on Wednesday (14th).

Things got off to a banging start when activists fronting as event organisers and armed with a look of authority, misdirected some of the arms fair participants to Earl’s Court, citing security reasons. It is always heart warming to hear how muppets that accept authority without question continue to do so at their own detriment.

A swarm of 15 reporters huddled around the protest, ready to record events as they unfolded. Protesters came armed with banners, flyers and songs of dissent. Old favourites were sung including you can stick your counter terror up your arse, shame on you, we all live in a terrorist regime and other such well loved classics.

After the arrest of a protester for the criminal use of chalk (see Crap Arrest), one eyewitness told SchNEWS, “Police showed they would tolerate a zero tolerance attitude towards the demonstrators quite early. The message was clear, we won’t allow any action that undermines our authority. They serve and protect the parasitic capitalist vermin that came to sample the raucous delights of the arms fair.”

The rest of the protest rolled on smoothly, with the polite restraint shown on both sides probably due to low numbers. One demonstrator tried pulsing waves of positive energy to the damned inside through the medium of meditation, in the naïve hope of resetting their moral compass. We’re not getting our hopes up.
