Back in March I penned a series of reports about UK Uncut, a group of people who believed in peaceful protest and specialised in disrupting activity at high profile locations. In a well publicised event back in March well over a hundred of them 'occupied' Fortnum and Masons.
Despite the assurances of a lady police inspector that, if they left peaceably, they would not face arrest they all walked out to be arrested by the TSG. It was later reported that the charges against 109 were later quietly dropped but the remainder were found guilty of 'aggravated trespass' last week. What hasn't been reported is that the judge just let them 'walk' and did not impose any penalty.
I often wondered if the actions of the police had intimidated this group because they were quiet in the summer months. What I missed when I was in Florida in October was a protest that took place on Westminster Bridge on 9th October so I include a clip which demonstrate that some people still care and know how to protest in a non violent way.
I may not agree with some of their left wing opinions but I like their willingness to get on the streets and irritate authority. I just hope that they retain their independence and do not get swallowed by union influence.

UK Uncut
I yearn for a movement from today's youth which is inspired by a love for their country and not by the lunatic ideals of the left wing. I would love to see a group of kids decide that the future that has been created by The Political Class is not what they want for themselves. I therefore hoped when I first saw the tactics of UK Uncut that we had at long last discovered a group of young people who did not resort to violence and who, with a bit of imagination, could protest with style (like the black brolly brigade).
To a certain extent they fulfilled my aspirations for them. They withdrew from the violence of the Union demonstration recently in London and do not want to associate themselves with 'Black Bloc' the other youth movement who seem to admire violence and destruction.
However, before I commit to a movement I like to discover who they are and what makes them tick. So I went onto YouTube, watched the videos and as each name came up when they were being interviewed I noted them down. Gradually I built up a profile of their leaders and sad to say that if you Google them follow their twitter conversations, read their blogs and discover their background then they are yet another left wing, trendy, right on, studenty organisation.
I will follow them with a passing interest but just a memo to Adam Ramsay. If I can do it old son then the police are also doing it. I believe that your organisation could have a future but stay away from the unions. They will buy your soul.

UK Uncut
I suspect that shock has set in after the treatment that some of these people suffered at the hands of the thugs who arrested them. However, credit due, they are looking after each other and sometimes a horrible experience bonds people together. I suspect that this movement will grow thanks to the heavy handed approach by the riot control police.
There are hints that many of the regular coppers had some sympathy with people who were non threatening and protesting in a proper democratic manner. I suspect that they have radicalised forever a group of young people and that their actions will fan the flames of protest. After all once you have been criminalised that is it. Once you have been bullied, humiliated and frightened then it does not work a second time. What I find despicable is the treatment meted out to a 15 year old girl which left her close to suicide. That is frankly inexcusable.
I suspect that numbers will double or even treble the next time that UK Uncut take to the streets. There is no doubt that this was a political intervention. They picked on an easy target as usual but people learn and the next time the target may be just as easy but somewhat larger and probably more organised. I also suspect that there will be a few legal challenges flying around. If not then we may as well accept that East Germany has well and truly arrived in Britain...and you know what happened there!?

UK Uncut
They are licking their wounds. They now know what they are up against. Recently I did this guy an injustice so I am trying to repair the damage. It has also transpired that the female Chief Inspector who 'lied' to the Fortnum and Mason 'invaders' may just have believed that she was telling the truth!
A witness overheard a conversation between a senior police officer and, what shall we call him... a riot control officer (you know the guys who dress like Hitler's brown shirts only their shirt is black) and it more or less confirms that the ordinary chief officer was overruled when he tried to release the people from Fortnum and Mason.
That begs the question...is the ordinary bog standard copper being superceded by a political force. After all they knew that no damage had been done and nobody had been hurt. It was almost a classic peaceful demonstration (which of course cannot be tolerated) so on whose orders were the demonstrators kettled and arrested? What did it matter that a female officer had been branded a coward and a liar?
I have a theory...you will be surprised to learn. I believe that the EU people who are trying to subject the UK to a socialist future are trying to instigate an event whereby the people eventually attack our own police. Of course that cannot be allowed to happen so then they will deploy their bully boys... sorry armed bully boys. Already they allow any violence, any destruction or any display of aggression. However they come down hard on all the reasonable protests because it encourages an escalation of violence.
They actually want 'UK Uncut' to ally with 'Black Bloc' and form an unholy alliance from which they will manipulate a confrontation. The Fortnum and Mason action illustrated that the ordinary police officer is expendable. They will be pitched into the front line and sacrificed purely as an excuse to bring in the European armed force.
Just remember that we used to have a British Army which could be deployed in a civil emergency. This army has been deployed elsewhere... in fact it has been deployed elsewhere ever since the parliamentary Labour party came to power. They do not want any form of military power close to this country when push comes to shove.
This is a socialist conspiracy to get us to react so that we can give them an excuse to arrest us our children. The ordinary police officer will be sacrificed on the day to fulfill a political ideal. I know that I am a nutter ... but just watch... and if you are a copper then get ready! If you are UK Uncut ... then full marks and good luck! You will need so much courage!

The young, the monarch and the law?
Having spent a good part of the past few days trying to discover just how many of the young are awakening to discover that they cannot trust and rely on government I am much heartened. There is no doubt a growing realisation amongst the young that what they got taught by the trendy left wingers in school was actually nonsense. They are beginning to realise that it is their own future that they must fight for. It doesn't matter if they call themselves 'Black Bloc' or UK Uncut' or anything else because once they decide that they want a better future they will also discover what they are up against.
When UK Uncut got themselves kettled and arrested by trusting a female officer of the law I suspect that she unleashed a tidal wave of disgust. Nothing could be better for recruitment to a controversial cause.
So what happens when they get to court? Well Captain Ranty has some advice for them! The good Captain is doing his level best to educate all of us that our legal system, our monarchy and our government is actually based on smoke and mirrors. Everything that he believed in, that we held dear and that we trusted was blown to bits when we joined the EU. I should have prefaced that you must take a deep breath before you read about the state of the monarchy.
I think that the people involved in UK Uncut, the people who believe in themselves so much that they are prepared to give up their time and liberty, should make the good Captain a mandatory read. It is not sufficient just to challenge the police you must also know your law (or lack of it). I think that the people are on the move but I have always articulated that the young must get involved.
Basically the people who have corrupted our society became greedy. They overstepped the mark and now the blogosphere is alive with revolution. If the young are to have a country worth living in they should educate themselves in the values that matter.

UK Uncut
Unfortunately I missed Emily Maitlis interviewing Lucy Annson of UK Uncut on last night's Newsnight so I watched it today and it became clear that the interviewer just could not get her head around this latest method of civil unrest. She persistently confused 'UK Uncut' with 'Black Bloc' another 'twitter' phenomena but two groups with entirely different agendas.
Emily Maitlis followed the tried and tested BBC ploy of trying to discredit the organisation instead of trying to uncover the ideology. She repeatedly used immotive words, like 'damage', 'violence' and 'smashed' to colour the argument; words which frankly did not resonate with the personification of reason exuding from Lucy Annson.
On the other hand Lucy didn't really help her cause by playing such a dead bat to the questions being asked. It is clear however that UK Uncut have unearthed a new method of protest which has already embarrassed the Met. On Saturday when faced with violence all over the capital they apparently arrested 148 protesters and now it transpires that 139 of these were the group lied to by the Chief Inspector at the Fortnum and Mason store. No wonder Lucy Annson suggested that they were investigating unlawful arrest.
Once again British police have demonstrated a treachery and cowardice unparalleled in the western world. Protestors everywhere may learn the lesson. If you are violent, smash windows, destroy property, attack the police then there is roughly a 9/200,000 chance that you will be arrested. If you sit down, protest in a polite manner, clear up any mess that you have created and cooperate with a police request then you get roughed up, 'kettled' and charged en masse!
It is despicable! The Chief Inspector who told the lies should be disciplined (this is the right time for an apology) and the Commissioner should resign because clearly his force is incompetent and out of control. In the meantime UK Uncut has a platform. What will they do with it? If they are to make an impact then organisation has to be the key.
I have just one concern. Their criticism of the bankers and the tax evaders is legitimate and should be pursued. However, what about the parliamentary Labour Party who must share the blame for causing the cuts and what about the socialist Town Hall 'fat cats'. In the interests of 'fair play' should they not next occupy somewhere like Nottingham City Hall?
If they at least acknowledged that the left wing of politics was involved in our plight along with the bankers and corporate tax dodgers then they would command support from all quarters.

Lies, damned lies and the Met Police!
There have been repeated allegations that the Metropolitan Police arrested the protestors inside Fortnum and Mason last Saturday after guaranteeing them safe passage out of the store. The allegations go even further when they insist that a female police inspector negotiated with the protestors that they would be led to safety if they 'turned left' when they left the store.
She of the smiley face and honest demeanour even denied that a 'kettle' was awaiting them. Surely no policewoman in the UK could act in such a treacherous manner against her own citizens? Surely considering that the protest had been magnificently peaceful and nobody had been hurt there were no grounds for mass arrest. Surely this only happened in East Germany or Gaddafi's Libya?
Well if you don't believe that it could happen in this country you may be very interested in this clip!
Of course the consequences will be considerable because it proves once and for all that we cannot trust the police...any of them... even the most honest, smiley, chatty ladies are treacherous. Personally I believe that this clip is one of the most significant of the modern era. It does so much damage to the law enforcement authorities and clearly it completely changes the boundaries.
This has broken the trust bond between the law abiding and the police forever! It is now quite clear that if you protest against the government authorities then they will use any method to discourage you. The film demonstrates that the assurances from the lady inspector was just a cover for the strong arm stuff which ensued.
This clip will spread like wildfire! It illustrates that peaceful protests will get you knowhere. It is them and us and we didn't start it. I never thought that I would witness and even recount events like this in this country but now those who disagree with the Political Class know what they are up against!

UK Uncut
Earlier today I posted on the young posh kids who had been publicised in the MSM for rioting on Saturday bringing down the curtain on the great union march. I then read that it was an organisation called UK Uncut who had occupied Fortnum and Mason so I went in search of more posh kids to expose.
My first port of call is always YouTube because that is where you find the clips that the politicians don't want you to find. I found two clips from Newsnight one featuring a Dan Galvin from December 2010 and a second featuring a Tony Smith on 31 Jan 2011. Both of them conducted themselves very well. They were sensible and articulate, knowledgeable and committed.
I then viewed demonstrations outside of Topshop and Boots which appeared to be treated harshly by the police but then anyone protesting know that the police just love an opportunity to cut up rough. UK Uncut are protesting about the multinationals who are not paying their taxes in full. They appear to be non-violent and the spirit is very much like it was in Birkenhead. We had black brollies but the youngsters like to dress up.
The more I read the more I liked what I heard but it wasn't until I visited this Twitter Page for another leading member of UK UNcut that I became convinced that this group have a real purpose. They seem to care about each other and they were annoyed that their protest had been hijacked by the loons on the streets. Since then I found another blog Liberal Conspiracy that features the occupation of Fortnum and Mason and once again it seemed to be inconvenient but nobody was wrecking anything.
I am really interested in UK Uncut because I believe that they could have a real voice in the future. On the surface they are what this country needs but I do have a word of advice from an old man. Stick to your principles; don't get involved with the Political Class and in particular be very wary about the Labour Party.
PLEASE remember that you are right about the bankers and the multinationals but they are all in league with the politicians. Keep your independence and show the rest of us what the youth of today can really do. I hope that my instincts are right about you guys. I still believe that amongst the loons we have Olivers and Chloes but perhaps Adam Ramsay isn't one of them!
