 At the corporately social Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, small-scale vandalism took place and various areas were subverted in support of anarchism, also known as total liberation: A police car was tagged with the anarchist symbol, a Worthy Farm dairy truck had ‘raped from cows’ written below the milk sign and six ice cream vans also selling breast milk from rape victims received the word ‘scum’ on their vehicles. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7I thought it was pretty cool, good work. It certainly lifted my mood every time i saw it, and I was working there as a security guard, so maybe have a touch more perspective than other commenters?
Relevant graffiti as well: Glastonbury was like the Baghdad Green Zone this year, people were probably safer there than anywhere else in the country, but the price paid was the soul of the festival. How long before private security are patrolling Green Zones in Bristol, and will there be a similar cost?
UK Citizen I have no intention of engaging with, but 'grown up activist'? Mate, if you find yourself on the same side of the argument as the local BNP organiser and are still calling yourself an activist then maybe you need a bit of a rethink?
Grown up activists don't sit down and judge the actions of others, they stand up and take action themselves - look at the growing mood in Easton to deal with muggings ourselves, rather than looking the other way and calling for 'security'.
The propaganda is in the deed: in a super-conformist atmosphere like Glastonbury (and it was, please don't mistake hedonism for rebellion, especially you middle class Shangri-La types) the actions of this poster were brave, and effective. Well done to them.
When did I mention the bnp ??
ah, no I didn't, but this is the 'Alastair Campbell' technique of dealing with uncomfortable arguments..... call some-one a 'fascist' at the top of your voice .......
I wonder what kind of people they are that only ever criticise others for their activism.
Yet those same critics never tell us about what they do to make the world a better place.
Is paint slogans and other non effective actions.
If you want to be effective then do something!
Running about with a can of paint does nothing apart from upset the poor sod who has to clean up after you.
If think that is going to help your cause then you need to think again.
Class war, insurrection, general social war......what are you about, war or peace?
I do not believe in the Class War. Those that push Class are generally misfits who live for conflict.
Peace is what we need and Peace is a state of mind
If anyone wants a war then they are as a child - not mature - not whole - they are emotionaly crippled.
If you go throuugh life seeing sleight and conflict in every action of others then you will have a very sad life.
"six ice cream vans also selling breast milk from rape victims."
Um....I don't think so.
