Rent-A-Mob Strikes Again

[joeluke]

'Brave' enough to riot but too cowardly to do it without face masks on hiding their identities

Do these idiots have nothing better to do?

1,400 BC living in mud huts????????????

Don't you mean caves?

[jomifl]

AOG, I agree with you, 'dwelling in mud huts' was possibly overstating it a bit , I should have said 'dwelling in caves'.

@joeluke

The job of "Rent-A-Mob" is to make whoever is holding the protest march look bad. Logically, that means that there are both leftist and rightist mobs. Possibly more than one of each and not necessarily organised or cooperative with other groups, with which they share an alignment.

I can understand use of the Guy Fawkes mask as an artistic statement against the way one sector of society (government, employers) treats another sector as an amorphous blob of faceless, 'undeserving', poor'. Its use as a way of enabling criminal behaviour while under intense CCTV surveillance is something I deplore because the violence and criminality can only ever *undermine* whatever message - no matter how sincere it may be - the march is trying to put across.

So what if your face ends up on a police file? If the message is rational and reasonable, you have nothing to lose. I went on a march against the ending of student grants. I'm sorry it didn't achieve its aims but I'm not sorry to have been there and, perhaps, be on the public record for doing so.

Lose the masks, march again and behave yourselves properly, next time. Credibility is the name of the game.

i see the peggy purse is making a comeback - albeit by Addidas

That's definitely worth knowing......?

Well well. After being tagged as polaroid, it seems that I was right to be wary. Just hope that the jpeg with the link did not have an easter egg virus embedded for the ABers who opened it. This type of virus is not detected by malware scanners.

[Hypognosis]

Great vote of confidence in Malware Scanners, there, Togo. I'm sure they'll thank you for that.

I can't test my AV on the thing now as the offending link has been removed, along with all his/her other posts.

[viv41]

I missed all of Llamagirl's posts, think I would have liked her !

[Svejk]

You probably were her.

[viv41]

Maybe I was ....

[ummmm]

Very unlikely, Svejk.

p msl ... what logic are you using to say you were right to be wary?
(other than me now having to post from the planet zigzog after being abducted by aliens)

[Marshwarble]

Llamagirl didn't seem to be advocating revolution for all of us, and we do need to see all arguments from both sides. As a writer it's interesting to see what she feels.

Even though I do agree more with the other side...

"A police car was set on fire by an anti-capitalist demonstrator, who was wearing a Colmar ski jacket that cost hundreds of pounds"

Evidence has come to light (pardon the pun) that the police car was ostensibly *put* there and set fire to by persons ostensibly NOT protesting.
