Activist Notes

I've got me a Flickr account and have integrated it with this blog. Check the photos below and to the right. This is a few snaps of Tommy Sheridan getting his awesome on with some breakdancers on Gibson St yesterday. He brought the crowd to a standstill and snarled pedestrian traffic on the street for about an hour.

That would have to be Guernica.

A picket, with placards, singing, chanting and other various manifestations of awesome will be occurring at 6PM at the Glasgow Office of Beeb, Queen Margaret Drive. Text messages flying like wildfire. It's gonna be BIG.

The BNP? I mean seriously, the only reason they're being considered mainstream is that New Labour has managed to co-opt many of their anti-immigration, racist and Islamophobic policies.

Besides being a spew of hate with a thin layer of smarm-ite on top, their broadcast is likely to feature bad suits and lousy production values.

If you're in the central belt, please come out! Will be going out for drinks and nibbles after, post here if anybody wants to have a Vox meetup.

Piccies forthcoming, as I have a Sony Ericsson K750i with 2 megapixels and a tiny little 5 megapixel model.

Might record some audio, too. If I can find my gear amidst the chaos of my new flat!

In One Week.

Any Glaswegians here on teh Vox?

and I'm not happy about it. My other half will be bringing me books, etc. in hospital, and I will have about a month recovery period. That's going to be fun, not. Time moves slowly in the hospital and peeing in bed, that's going to be fun. :/

I'll try to write less stupid stuff. But it's rather difficult to be completely open on the internet, which is full of sharks. So, why don't I just use my head and do it like the other bloggers do it?

Let's see what happens.

Well done us. We had a great meeting - Taking Liberties, in defence of the Muslim population of D against the Snooker Bollockers, the Department of Education instructions for lecturers to spy against students, and the general Islamophobic crap being vomited by New Labour ministers.

So much ass has been kicked tonight. Thanks to O for being smart, swank and factual; C for dishing quality dirt and analysis; R for eloquent, magnificent defence of freedom, Sh for a well delivered bunch of reality, and to me for a decent speech on short notice.

Many thanks to: S's friends, the hijab-wearing ass kickers, O's crew, D's SWP rock star brigade, a high quality reporter, and an Irked member of Parliament for bringing the awesome this evening.

Now to build, and deploy the Ten Thousand Pound Shit-Hammer of Public Opinion against some notorious Political Police.

S. has been pointed to my blog by O., and liked the description of S.
versus the honourable Member of Parliament. Hi S. and O.! I'm so
embarrassed that you guys saw the post where I talked about being
pished!

It's so exciting that the big event is going forward tonight. Here I sit
trying to do my job and not think about the event so I'm moblogging and
that will put it out of my mind, hopefully. How do you, O.,
compartamentalise your mind successfully?

Leafletting the uni for it at noon and getting there early in the
evening to greet notables and assist in the management of screwups. So
many wonderful people have offered help and we are all deeply grateful.

I was out leafletting with C,S,L today at the campus. Not too effective.
we shall try again tomorrow. Then we went to the girl's area in the
Islamic Society, which was peaceful, warm and sunny. The Muslim girls
chill out there and it was very nice. I sat there and moaned with S
about my job/her schoolwork for a while, then went back to work.

November 6th meeting this week. My political work is going well. Have speaking gig in K. on the 15th and another one on the 17th in A. will be bringing S. to both and she will also be speaking. To her be the limelight, I say.
