bet your so proud eh rude.
Ridiculous comment beehive.
I support the 'community' aspect of the Love Activists- the sharing of food, water and other essential resources and the setting up of a camp. I also support their idea of highlighting the issue of homelessness in the City and embarrassing Ego Joe.
Like the majority of people I would be disgusted by these reported actions, IF they were indeed TRUE.
I was not there,so I do not know what actually happened. I have read the reports in the mainstream media. I have also read posts from the activists involved. The two accounts do not match.
Here is a recent post:
Protesters have always been demonised, I know this, but the actions and lies carried out by the Major, local council and local press are absolutely repulsive, the 'ball' was not in honour of James Bulger, or any charity for that matter, it was a celebration of Joe Anderson's 3rd year as Mayor of Liverpool, the tickets and event details did not mention anything other than the Labour party and some fundraising, I'd just like to clear a few things up; there were no banners to be hurled, we got about 3 foot into the hallway, we didn't make it into the actual room that they were celebrating in, no banners, no exhibition no photo's of children.
The staff and security who work in the hotel along with labour party candidates and members attacked us, activsts, including women, were dragged to the floor by several men at a time, hair dragged, bitten and kicked.
No windows were smashed, nothing was broken and we left after the management told us to, Joe and the media have begun a hateful smear campaign against us, there are no photos or evidence of any sort to prove their allegations, the CCTV shows us being assaulted whilst shouting 'Joe must go.'
We had no idea that the event had realation to that poor boy, and if you think that I, or any of my friends involved would sabotage something in his honour then you clearly know nothing about me as a person and my morals, this is what they do to those who help others, this is what they do to those with a voice, those who promote change, and actively work against a system which kills and hurts so many people.
We will be releasing our own press statement very soon, one which isn't bias, one which has truth to it.
If the Echo or BBC do not alter their trash then legal action will be getting carried out.
The rich protect and serve the rich, and to twist the events which occurred on Friday into the light it has is both sick and evil.
I am awaiting the L.A Press Release and some photos that paint a different picture.
I wonder why the Echo did not print pictures of the damage and the banners that were thrown at the Ball attendees.(allegedly)
