This is a post by Brian of London.
Following on from the recent court decision in the UK to acquit protesters who broke into a UK company’s factory and smashed it up the protesters now, rightly, feel that they can do what they like in the UK.
So today the same groups are massing to “Smash EDO”
From their web page:
It’s Hammertime! We are calling for people from around the UK to join us in besieging EDO. We aim to shut the factory for the day.
Stay Safe – wear black, mask up…. (why mask up?) [because you’re committing crimes you muppets (ed)]

If you would like to follow the “action” you can find a handy live blog of what is going on as the UK descends into mob rule and vigilante justice:
Frankly, Britain, I don't give a damn.
I can see your line of reasoning.
They are not moderating the comments, so let rip guys.
Ah, my last few comments haven't made it up, so I think I got that one wrong.
Disgraceful.
There are still decent, fair minded people in Britain but they are intimidated or feel that the insanity will eventually pass.
I can understand why they'd feel intimidated and figure it would pass. I mean if it worked once it should work again. Better to just wait it out than to fight the insanity, just like in Germany in the '30s, right?
(tapped on shoulder; whispering)
Wait, what happened? When?!? Wow! Oops, never mind….
😉
I wonder if they let malignant brain tumors to pass.
I hate this cliche, but this time it is true –
This really is how the Nazis got started.
Yep, that's been my feeling more and more lately. I read quite a few academic journals and we are not the only people who feel this way; there are quite a few quality academics that are writing about these issues–and other related fare–trying to get policy makers to understand the road that we are heading down. Unfortunately, none of these people have the political weight of a pre-WWII Winston Churchill…. and even he failed almost completely.
Very depressing….
