anchoredwunderlust: quite, was using ‘so-called’ in reaction to the media using the word ‘anarchist’ as an all-purpose, demonising catch-all to denote violence & fear.

why ‘so-called’ anarchist, and not just anarchist? did he do something wrong? you seem to be talking about him as if he said something bad but your quote is reasonable?

Thanks for an excellent article. Shame the mainstream media resort to their propaganda so much so that a view from this angle isn’t even considered. Keep up the good work.

A day on which an unelected government acting as a proxy for international finance capital began its dismembering of Higher Education on which the State set hundreds of riot cops and mounted police on students trade unionists and schoolchildren and on which I returned home having pondered the media narrative that would emerge from the days events to see the BBC on television radio and online in full shrill battle cry against the violence of the protesters. I have arrived home having secured my release from the Parliament Square kettle only by agreeing to being filmed by the police. The riot police blocking access to Whitehall the nervous scurrying of the police in response to unfurling black and red Anarchist flags in The Mall and then as we were funnelled into Parliament Square the suspicion of a trap.
