Canary Wharf protest 31st October

[Zeek]

Anyone else working on the wharf tomorrow? We've been sent this today:

"We have been advised that a protest is expected to take place outside the Jubilee Line tube station at Canary Wharf tomorrow, Friday 31st October. The protest is called 'Dancing on the grave of Capitalism' and is expected to start at 16:30, and continue into the evening."

Word says that these lot are going to try to "wind-up bankers"!

Steel toe caps tomorrow;)

[Chilli]

Yeah, we got it. Suggests that there'l be around 1000 protesters generally p!ssing people off around the Jubilee line entrance's. Brigs back memories of the May days demo's in the City....dheads.

Oh dear....

If its true, good luck for those who work there. Fingers crossed nothing happens.

I dare you all to go to work dressed in your finest and holding signs such as:

"I own three Porsches"

or

"I earn x Thousand pounds per week"

And end each sign with "Dance on that you grubby, unwashed, jobless, feckless ct

Or 'My dog wipes its arse with Chanel suits'.

If Lehmans had been organised, they could have arranged a meeting tomorrow for everyone that was made redundant...!

I hate st like this. How the fk do these numpties think things work, or where their next ing giro cheque comes from? Ooh, I know taxes. Who pays taxes? Oh, I know. The "Capitalist scum" in suits that you're fking annoying. fking halloween "Childrens workshops" and st. It's just a bunch of long-haired fking idiots who think the ttting world runs on fking fairy tears. Oil evil is it, well how do you run your fking polluting stty crustywagon, eh? Do you have a bloody windmill on top? No?

And don't get me started on all their st about fking "oppression". These wooly tts wouldn't know oppression if it hit them in their bearded mugs.

And breathe.

[Hereward]

Haven't the protesters got jobs to go to?

Don't forget to wave your gold cards at them etc etc

Make sure they don't get down into the car parks - there's some seriously tasty metal parked up and we don't want these scrounging peasant scum losers damaging them.

1000?

Surprising there are even that many clueless toytown trots.

[Maxf]

We had an email about this. Apparently the soap dodgers will be in Halloween fancy dress. If I see a vampire soap dodger would it be wrong to try and stick a stake through it's heart?

ETA. It wont happen. CW security is pretty good and the MET won't let anything like this happen. IMO

Can we just hire a Green Goddess and fill it up with Skunk Spray and clear them ourselves? That would be amusing

Was posted on our intranet at work.

Cant be your usual anarchist who wont be out of bed before 12pm and will be home watching Countdown by 4pm.

Im sure all the working folk will be knocking them down on the way to the Jubilee Line.

[Bing o]

They are entitled to free speech, as long as it is peaceful, let them demonstrate all they want to.

It could either be a good fun party, or a complete crapfest.

(ps, I work in the City, and am not a hippy tree hugging trotskyist)

If anyone wants me to bring popcorn I have a spare few hours to wind them up as im on the equivilent of gardening leave at the moment and have been getting bored from not doing work at CW....

I was trying to be polite, but in reality that is what I was thinking....

From their website:

"We wait for an invitation. If we're not invited, we stay outside"

They'd better stay in bed then (although I'd quite enjoy watching a reenactment of when the hippies tried to storm LIFFE).
