Election Meltdown

(A) | 20.03.2010 16:35 | SOCPA | Workers' Movements | South Coast

Election Meltdown is gearing up for action in this sham election.
The politicians for sale at Westminster have no plans for our future. We need to take it into our hands.
We don't see any choice on offer except between bankers, bankers and more bankers, between capitalism, capitalism and more capitalism. We demand an equal and accountable voice for all, but we don't see any prospect of democratic representation by politicians who are in the pockets of corporate vested interests.
Right now we live under a dictatorship of the rich, a tiny minority hogging the world’s resources, who make all the decisions about the planet and our future to satisfy their greed. It’s time for democracy to dictate back to the rich!
So all of us who are fed up and disgusted, cry
DEATH TO THE ELECTION!
Vote for a hung parliament!
Let's blow one big raspberry at the whole election charade on Mayday, taking over Parliament Square for a popular carnival on Saturday May 1st.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be galloping back from four corners, dragging the carcasses of the four politicans chosen by the people to be hanged!
Then we will plant the People's Tree where a People's Assembly will camp and convene throughout the sham election period.

On the 1st May the people will converge on the Houses of Parliament via the four horsemen of the apocalypse:

THE BLACK HORSE:

Join the BLACK HORSE of the Apocalypse, dragging the carcass of Nick Griffin, BNP leader, to Parliament Square on the First of May 2010. Once he arrives, he will be hanged, drawn and quartered before the assembled multitude. Sure he'll appreciate an English traitor's death!

No pasaran! Victory to the anti-fascists!

The Black Horse parade will form a contingent on the TUC march from Clerkenwell Green, EC1R 0DU, at 1pm. It will go to Trafalgar Square, and continue on to Parliament square, arriving with the other horses at 2:30pm.

The heroic black horse rides again under the horseman of Anarchy, so if you're blac bloc, this is the horse for you!

THE SILVER HORSE:

Join the SILVER HORSE of the Apocalypse, dragging the carcass of David Cameron to Parliament Sqaure on the First of May 2010. Once he arrives, he will be hanged, drawn and quartered, or, because he's a toff, beheaded by the people's appointed executioner.

The Silver Horse is the horse of the money meltdown, so if you're disgusted by MP's expenses, bankers' bonuses, and public service and welfare cuts, back this horse!

The march will leave Conservative party HQ, Millbank Tower, SW1P 4DP at 2:00pm to arrive at parliament square at 2:30pm.

THE RED HORSE:

Join the RED HORSE of the Apocalypse, dragging the carcass of Gordon Brown to Parliament Sqaure on the First of May 2010. Once he arrives, he will be put to death according to the wishes of the assembled multitude -- hanged, guillotined or beheaded.

The Red Horse is the horse of War. If the fact we've just entered the ninth year of pointless wars really gets your goat, this is the horse for you!

The march will leave from Labour Party HQ, 39 Victoria Street, SW1H 0HA at 2:00pm, to arrive at Parliament square at 2:30pm.

THE GREEN HORSE:

Join the GREEN HORSE of the Apocalypse, dragging the carcass of Nick Clegg to Parliament Sqaure on the First of May 2010. Once he arrives, if we can be bothered, we'll put him to death alongside the other rotten party leaders...or maybe just put him in the stocks and chuck some rotten eggs! Is he worth it?

The Green Horse is Ecowarrior, the horse of the impending global environmental disaster. If you're green, then this is the horse for you!

The march will leave from Liberal Democrat HQ, 4 Cowley Street, SW1P 3NB at 2:00pm. It will arrive at 2:30pm at Parliament Square

It's time to show our anger! be there!

p.s. The protest is also highly unlikely to have SOCPA authorisation

But we don't care, we have a right to protest!
