This.It's a joketing that Sick_Sense jumps into every arguement and tries to show people up. Does it so much that even his bum suckers are not fiending for it anymore. SMH

[spiderman]

that the amount was notabledoesnt have to mean a lot

this is what im getting at.if you dont think thats significant then thats your own personal perception so fair enough.but to me it is significant that there are a small number of dealers or people doing ac's across various uni's.its not as if its just one random person here and there.

Next protest is targeting the Lib Dem headquarters.Looking forward to seeing what happens.

[Guest Awesome Kong]

Them Lib dem liars are waste. About "We will fight the corner for scrapping fees." How can man lie to us like that? Man went on video record and all sorts. Lib Dem gone get f*cked in the elections.

[Baghead]

Voters were being extremely naïve when they chose to believe that the lib dems would successfully scrap fees when they came into power. It was such a blatant lie to ensure that they could strongarm themselves some seats. Scrapping fees completely is not at all viable, its extremely expensive and would take years to implement therefore university voters wouldn't even benefit. I hope that the lib dem HQ gets more of a battering than the tories did, not because I'm a conservative supporter but due to the fact that I would rather know my devil. Unless you don't understand even basic British politics you know when you vote tory you are voting for a right thinking, staid party almost hell bent on austerity. The lib dems are a limp d*cked wolf in sheep's clothing, masquerading as ultra liberal and 'forward thinking' but instead taking the first opportunity to jump into bed with anyone who offers them the chance to wield power. Yuck.

Scotland Yard has forced the closure of an anti-police blog which was being used to disseminate advice to protesters pictured at the student fees demonstration.The website Fitwatch was suspended after the its hosting company received contact from C011, the Metropolitan's public order branch, stating that the blog was "being used to undertake criminal activities".The move appears to have taken place after a blog posted on the website gave guidance to students who feared they might be arrested for their involvement in the occupation of the Millbank office complex, which houses the Tory party headquarters.A largely peaceful march against the proposed increase in tuition fees turned violent on Wednesday when a minority of the 50,000 students targeted Millbank.Around 200 entered the building and some accessed the roof. During a period of rioting, windows and furniture were smashed and, in the most serious act of violence, a fire extinguisher was thrown towards police from the roof.The Fitwatch blogpost, which last night had reappeared on several other websites, recommended that students "get rid" of clothes they wore at the demonstration and change their appearance."Perhaps now is a good time for a makeover," said the post. "Get a haircut and colour, grow a beard, wear glasses. It isn't a guarantee, but may help throw them off the scent."Hours later, the Met's "e-crime unit" informed Fitwatch's website hosting service – JustHost.com – that the blog was being used to attempt to pervert the course of justice by providing guidance to "offenders"."We hereby request [you] de-host this website for a minimum period of 12 months," it said in a letter seen by the Guardian. "The website is providing explicit advice to offenders following a major demonstration in central London."The demonstration was marred by violence and several subjects have already been arrested, with a major police operation under way to identify and arrest further offenders."The letter stated that authority to close "the website and IP address" had been given by Will Hodgeson, an acting detective inspector at C011.The Telegraph and the rightwing blogger Guido Fawkes both launched campaigns last week to identify student protesters, posting photographs of activists they suggested had been involved in criminal activity.Criticising the campaign as "an irresponsible and frenzied 'shop-a-student'" initiative, Fitwatch yesterday issued its own advice to students who might be "worried" that they would become suspects because of their involvement in the demonstration.The guidance ranged from suggesting that students contact a lawyer or stay away from demonstrations for a while, to advising them to get rid of clothes they were wearing at the protests, as well as spray cans and "dodgy texts/photos on your phone".The post added: "The police often use the psychological pressure of knowing they have your picture to persuade you to 'come forward'. Unless you have a very pressing reason to do otherwise, let them come and find you, if they know who you are."Fitwatch was set up in 2007 by protesters seeking to oppose what they saw as objectionable surveillance tactics used by Forward Intelligence Teams (FITs), who use cameras to monitor political activists.The site has proved controversial among public order police officers, who found their own names, badge numbers and photos uploaded on the internet as an act of retaliation.The Fitwatch website was hosted by Emily Apple, 34, who said last night that closure amounted to "political intimidation". "It seems convenient that they have taken it down now," she said, referring to recent anti-police blogposts on the site."Nothing in that post [giving guidance to student protesters] has not been said before on our blog or on other sites."Val Swain, 44, another Fitwatch campaigner, said the post had been been a direct response to what she called the Telegraph's "rogues' gallery" and was never intended to divulge information that was not already "well known".She added: "It was tantamount in my view to a lawyer saying to their client: you can say 'no comment' in the police interview."

The Article that is preventing the course of justice....

Fitwatch website has been suspended for “attempting to pervert the course of justice” after host were contacted by the Met. Pass On PLEASE This is all we know at this time.. If you saved know any one who saved any content please please get in touch..The Blog was suspended on request of Acting Detective Inspector Will Hodgeson from CO11 as part of Op Malone.The cops always give f*ck*ng stupid names to their operations to find rioters so in the tradition of OPERATION CARNABY to find the poll tax rioters the hunt for the Millbank rioters is named OPERATION MALONE. Private Eye had it right in the 80s when they named the police operation that led to the Brixton riots OPERATION WOGSMASHER.More information and new web address to follow soon.Fitwatch – e-mail: [email protected] last weeks events at Millbank during the student demonstrations fitwatch.com published some advice for those worried they had appeared in the press and may face arrest. The piece called Beating police repression after the student occupation can be read on this blog http://johnnyvoid.wordpress.com and now, thanks to the bungling Met a growing number of sites across the internet.The piece has been removed and the fitwatch site closed down on request of Acting Detective Inspector Will Hodgeson from http://twitter.com/#!/CO11MetPolice. Early reports suggest that this was happened due to a request from the police to the site’s host complaining the site by be involved in perverting the cause of justice. This is a worrying development. Whilst we will doubtless know more tomorrow, as yet it does not seem a Court Order had been issued which means the filth are now bullying internet hosting companies into removing material which upsets them. The Police say they requested #fitwatch domain hosts – JustHost.com you mean intimidated them to take it down.The good news is that the offending piece, now being much discussed on http://twitter.com/#!/ur32daurt can be found at:http://dirt.thevacuumcleaner.co.uk/2010/11/beating-police-repression-after-student.htmlhttp://norfolknonaligned.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/beating-police-repression-after-the-student-occupation/http://bryanspygar.blogspot.com/2010/11/beating-police-repression-after-student.htmlhttp://truth-reason-liberty.blogspot.com/2010/11/police-take-fitwatch-down-as-they-go-on.htmlhttp://barnsdale.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/fitwatch-suspended-time-for-solidarity-make-sure-the-students-are-well-advisedhttp://ianbone.wordpress.com/2010/11/15/sussex-university-occupied/The remarkable and brilliant student action at Millbank has produced some predictable frothing at the mouth from the establishment and right wing press. Cameron has called for the ‘full weight of the law’ to fall on those who had caused tens of thousands of pounds of damage to the expensive decor at Tory party HQ. Responsibility is being placed on ‘a violent faction’, after the march was ‘infiltrated’ by anarchists.There are an encouraging number of intiatives to show solidarity with the arrested students – something that is vital if they are to avoid the sort of punitive ‘deterrent’ sentences handed out to the Gaza demonstrators. A legal support group has been established and the National Campaign against Cuts and Fees has started a support campaign. Goldsmiths lecturers union has publicly commended the students for a ‘magnificent demonstration’ .This is all much needed, as the establishment is clearly on the march with this one. The Torygraph has published an irresponsible and frenzied ‘shop-a-student’ piece and the Met are clearly under pressure to produce ‘results’ after what they have admitted was a policing ‘embarrassment’.51 people have been arrested so far, and the police have claimed they took the details of a further 250 people in the kettle using powers under the Police Reform Act. There may be more arrests to come.Students who are worried should consider taking the following actions:If you have been arrested, or had your details taken – contact the legal support campaign. As a group you can support each other, and mount a coherent campaign.If you fear you may be arrested as a result of identification by CCTV, FIT or press photography;DONT panic. Press photos are not necessarily conclusive evidence, and just because the police have a photo of you doesn’t mean they know who you are.DONT hand yourself in. The police often use the psychological pressure of knowing they have your picture to persuade you to ‘come forward’. Unless you have a very pressing reason to do otherwise, let them come and find you, if they know who you are.DO get rid of your clothes. There is no chance of suggesting the bloke in the video is not you if the clothes he is wearing have been found in your wardrobe. Get rid of ALL clothes you were wearing at the demo, including YOUR SHOES, your bag, and any distinctive jewellery you were wearing at the time. Yes, this is difficult, especially if it is your only warm coat or decent pair of boots. But it will be harder still if finding these clothes in your flat gets you convicted of violent disorder.DONT assume that because you can identify yourself in a video, a judge will be able to as well. ‘That isn’t me’ has got many a person off before now.DO keep away from other demos for a while. The police will be on the look-out at other demos, especially student ones, for people they have put on their ‘wanted’ list. Keep a low profile.DO think about changing your appearance. Perhaps now is a good time for a make-over. Get a haircut and colour, grow a beard, wear glasses. It isn’t a guarantee, but may help throw them off the scent.DO keep your house clean. Get rid of spray cans, demo related stuff, and dodgy texts / photos on your phone. Don’t make life easy for them by having drugs, weapons or anything illegal in the house.DO get the name and number of a good lawyer you can call if things go badly. The support group has the names of recommended lawyers on their site. Take a bit of time to read up on your rights in custody, especially the benefits of not commenting in interview.DO be careful who you speak about this to. Admit your involvement in criminal damage / disorder ONLY to people you really trust.DO try and control the nerves and panic. Waiting for a knock on the door is stressful in the extreme, but you need to find a way to get on with business as normal.Otherwise you’ll be serving the sentence before you are even arrested.The role of the police is not to “keep the peace,” or even to “uphold the law.” It is to ensure that the balance of power is maintained and that dissent remains containable and controllable. If our goal is to resist the attacks upon our class, rather than simply appear to do so, then we must also resist police repression and show solidarity with all who suffer it.As well as UK indymedia, Bristol indymedia and Scotland indymedia as well as being linked to on facebook pages, republished in forums etc.And of course google.All in just two hours, please join in, republish and show the Met the internet will not be censored. Add links to anywhere else you’ve spotted it in the comments below.Fitwatch have said they ain’t going f*ck*ng anywhere and will be back online soon, in the meantime you can catch them on facebookf*ck THE POLICE PASS IT ON PLEASE:Tags: http://fitwatch.org.uk has been suspended

Apparently that guy was just photographed holding it. He sprayed it, but he didn't chuck it.If you watch the footage again and compare the fire extinguisher that got chucked to the one he's holding, you'll see that they're different types/sizes.
