There has been a huge response to the planned demonstrations on Saturday November 3rd. Here’s how the day is shaping up so far!
From Noon – 2pm we are inviting people to tour Notting Hill, using Tom Vague’s radical walking tour pamphlet as a guide. This is an area with a long (though now largely hidden) history of conflict and rebellion.
So – if you remember the ‘front line’ as it was, want to re-trace the steps of the Charitists or the Angry Brigade, or even just photograph the Spanish Civil War Memorial – now is your chance. All that walking will of course work up a thirst. Refreshments can then be taken in the following hostelries from roughly 2pm:
The Lonsdale – 48 Lonsdale Road, W11.
Portobello Star – 171 Portobello Road.
Duke of Wellington (Usually known as Finches). 179-181Portobello Road
The Castle (Usually known as the Warwick Castle) 225 Portobello Road.
Market Bar – 240A Portobello Road.
Inn on the Green – 3-5 Thorpe Close, Portobello Green.
Fat Badger – 310 Portobello Road.
Please note that everyone presenting their Radical History tour programme in The Fat Badger will receive 50% off the total costs of their drinks on Saturday November 3rd only!
From 2.30 – 3pm assemble under the westway at the junction of Acklam Road and Cambridge Gardens. As well as “Toffs Out”, those making their own banners/placards are encouraged to consider “We Can’t Afford The Rich” as a theme.
3pm – March off to David Cameron’s house
3.15pm – Any late comers can join us via Ladbroke Grove tube station
3.30pm – A minutes applause will be held outside the home of the Rt Hon David Cameron, to celebrate his remarkable achievements in this meritocratic, classless society.
The march will then head to Meanwhile Gardens, via Portobello Road, for a rally at 4.30pm.
After the speakers, all present are invited to bring their own fireworks and any suitable Guys for burning. Old Etonian Guys particularly welcome!
Radical walking guides are available locally for £1 from Rough Trade at 130 Talbot Road, W11. For those from other parts of London visit Housmans at 5 Caledonian Road, Kings Cross or Freedom Bookshop at 84b Whitechapel High Road.

What a load of old bollocks. You lot should grow up.
“grow up”why should 20 percent of the country get a fucking easy life and everyone else works to make their life easy? accept your place peasants! bollocks to that! the yuppies homes shall burn
Wow – some major jealousy going on here! If you didn’t spend so much time complaining about how unfair life is and going on pointless marches, you might be a bit richer yourselves…..
just like those jealous people in burma aey? just like them jealous black people in south affrica? its not about jealousy dipshit its about actual democracy and liberty and the fight for it. you are a fucking idiot if you cant see class warfare taking place world wide/nationwide fuck off and read the guardian
Do you really think you can compare yourself to South Africans under apartheid, and the Burmese under the junta, you little fuck?? Having grown up in South Africa, and been to Burma twice, I doubt you have any idea what you are talking about. You have nothing to complain about in comparison to those people! They had/have real cause to rise up, and they rightly did so! You are just some soap-dodging dole scrounger who can’t be bothered to work for a living, and is annoyed by the fact that everyone you read about in your manky tabloid rags is doing better than you! Everyone in this country has the opportunity to better themselves if they try. Get off your lazy arse, and try it, you pathetic, whining excuse for a human being. People like you deserve everything you get….. Good luck on the march – like anyone will even notice!
But Dave – if we live in a meritocracy, why do people send their kids to Eton?
If there is no advantage from doing so, why not save the money and send them to Bogbrush Comp instead?
Oh they’ll notice alright Dave….we’re coming for your lot Dave. Posh twat.
what a load of shit! you people really are a fucking waste of skin. what the hell do you hope to acheive? you think DC will say “fuck it, your right” and give his money away to charity? i honestly cant understand the point of this. your pissed off because of what? theres people in the world with more money than you? a lot of people with more money have EARNED it you fucktards, even if alot of the upper class are scum, they have still had to wake up and do work in the morning, yes there are some born into rich families who dont deserve it, scum like paris hilton etc but thats just unfortunately the way of the world, it isnt going to change with 20 odd dirty soap dodging, weed smoking arseholes standing outside someones house moaning about how shit it is. why not try getting a fucking job?
why dont you actually come up with a better idea on how to run society (something better than “no rich people”) rather than just piss around and moan about it.
how about everyone marches around your house for being a twat?
and by the way, im working class and dont vote.
Muttley – you are coming for my lot? You mean my lot on a council estate in Leeds where my dad grew up? Or my lot in South Africa where my mum grew up? Or are you coming for me and my current neighbours in our small flats in outer London? You better come at night, as we are all out working during the day. You should try it. Fuck I hate people like you – you suck the life out of the planet.
Paul Stott – why do you care where people send their kids? Surely people should have the choice? Personally, I wouldn’t, as I wouldn’t want my kids turning into the sort of kids Eton churns out, but I don’t give a crap if other people want to. I really genuinely cannot understand this petty jealousy. Are you really so full of self-doubt that you have to feel resentful to anyone that went to fucking Eton?? Bizarre……
Mayo – voice of reason!
i fucking have a job i dont read “manky tabliods” im fucked off not because people have more money than me, but because if your from south bristol(or any state school in bristol)you go to school and you are systematically failed if you live up in clifton mummy and daddy pay for you to go to school and your guaranteed virtually a middle class job. the top end live over a decade longer no one normal can afford a house. theres is no social mobility its one of the biggest lies in neo liberal countrys yeah work hard and youll get rich bollcoks will you. i dont compare myself to those suffering in third world countries they are just fighting the same struggle thas all and what the fuck do you do sit around critisizing people and doing nothing yourself. dont you think the majority off the country should be able to affrod a fucking house and not just dream of it
isn’t this whole debate simply about who is prepared to defend thier way of life?..
i mean, why do you people insist on trying to tear eachother down?
i didn’t exactly grow up in a rough neighbourhood. sure, at the age of 7 we were already pulling knives on eachother but, people worked hard to improve thier situation in life.
nobody got anywhere.
the amount of over-management is rediculous.
just because these people have a piece of paper they’re entitled to a job that pays so much more? take the nhs for example. youve got 7 management positions in the pharmacy dept. at our local hospital. youve got about 40 people underneath them, only about a quarter of which do a proper days work. the majority work slowly, and make lots of mistakes. and why does the nhs employ these people?
because they have a certificate. because they were drip-fed an education.
this dosnt exactly seem fair to me.
that’s why i’ll make the trip to this demo.
what are you lot gunna do?
sit at home and complain about how pointless it is?
what will that achieve?
what do you possibly hope to accomplish if you do not take every oppurtunity available for you to voice your thoughts?
i’m sick and tired of people who complain about others complaints, while not trying to make any positive changes of thier own, if you dont want the vote then you forfit your chance to have a say. in which case, just shut the fuck up.
I went to state school too but unlike you, I learnt to spell, and worked hard to make sure I wasn’t ’systematically failed’. Sure, we had a a lot of deadbeats at school who did fuck all, and are now whinging about how small their dole is, but whose fault is that?? You can’t just blame the system for the fact that you haven’t got what you seem to think you deserve out of life. Nobody owes you anything mate. You would seriously better off putting your energy into bettering yourslef rather than just crying in the corner about how ‘the big boy pushed me over’….. Get a grip – where’s your fucking pride??
And as to people in Burma ‘fighting the same struggle’…….. The same struggle as you?? You really haven’t got a clue have you?
And, by the way, the majority of the country can afford a house, though I concede that prices are too high.
Anyway, I am bored of you – you can’t argue worth shit. Anyone better please….?
Just out of interest, how many people does anyone here think will show up? It seems pretty quiet on this forum – would have thought there would be more outraged scabbies shouting me down!
Hahahahahah, Mayo your spot on. Jesus you people are pathetic, I hate politicians as much as the next man but he backed over you in his Merc I’d feel sorry for the twat who had to wipe the shit off his wheels. Still have fun standing around, makes a change to playing Playstation for your Giro!
your complaining about the NHS, house prices, education and oppertunities – right?
THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO DAVID CAMERONS HOUSE??? its just too funny how idiotic you are!
hes not the PM! he hasnt done any of the current damage to society! dont get me wrong, hes as shit as the rest of them, but surely you douche bags should be going to downing street or something?
im no longer pissed off with you guys, this is just funny now! there seems to be 3 or 4 people for the march and 3 or 4 against it! ooohhh! i can feel society crumbling around us! ooohhh it hurts! what a sense of acheivement, eh fellas?
diamond dave, chugs, lets do our own march round these guys houses and hand out bars of soaps and job pages from the local papers.
and comparing yourselves to the people who live under an aggresive militaristic junta in burma? or a racial apartheid in SA? ha…haha……hahahahaha…….HAHAHAHAHAH! you fucking retard! read a book, you havent got a clue have you! you probably cant even point out burma on a map because youve ripped yours up for roaches for your drug habit!
stop being pissed off because someone else has a bigger telly than you!
and i dont vote because IT DOESNT MAKE A DIFFERENCE! if you beleive it does, then you buy into these politicians more than you like to admit!
“grrrr, i really hate these politicians, grrr upper class scum! but hey, i’ll vote for THAT guy, because he seems like LESS of a bastard! …….have i shit myself or is that you??”
mayo – working class and proud
(but not pissed off that i had to make my own way in life, like pretty much every other fucker)
Who are these morons posting on here? Why do these types always go on about getting a job? Why do they think protests like this are held on Saturdays??
I have had a decentish job for 20 years and am still in no way rich. My kids won’t be able to afford to live round here.
There is plenty of wealth in this country but it’s mostly concentrated in a few greedy hands and the gap is getting worse.
I’ll be there tomorrow!
So diamond dave, you’ve been to Burma twice, what was once seeing people in such abject poverty not enough for you or, or was it the fact that they are so poor that it makes your pound go further? You don’t think that YOUR money went on to help support this corrupt regime? Your now an accomplice in their crimes against humanity. Every tourist dollar that is taken for visa’s, or spent in government run or owned businesses or their cronies who support them makes the lives of the working/poverty class more unbearable and prolongs their pain.
Protests are fun.
Diamond Dave is an ignorant Thatcherite and will go doon the swannie wi’ the rest when the time comes.
We’re all too rich.
Cablebasher
‘Protests are fun’
More or less sums it up. You’re just bored middle class kids.
You have no idea what you believe or propose, you just know what you oppose and you seem to find that hard to articulate.
To compare your ’suffering’ here in the UK to that of the Burmese people or black people in SA would is not just ridiculous, it’s immoral.
Neither David Cameron nor the other residents of Notting Hill are responsible for the inequalities in our society. It can be argued that Capitalism is BUT I am yet to hear a viable alternative, especially from groups and people like yourselves… as I asay you know what you oppose, what do you propose?
Communism?
Dan, you’re just one of those awfully boring people who loves going around judging people who believe things that you don’t, and probably just cannot comprehend. Also ANARCHISM seems to be the alternative they propose. If you weren’t such a philistine maybe you’d understand it is actually is a viable alternative.
when did i compare myself to a resident in a fucking all out police state i just extended your ilogical wankery we do not get beat by police every fucking day of our lives we have a fuck of a lot of freedom compared to most countrys…. iam not involved in this group just agree with them so why label my unclear message as their entire “manifesto” or some bullshit. go WANK over your own giro
communism and anarchy as viable alternatives? hmmmm, lets just explore that shall we?
first of all communism WORKS in theory, but NOT in practice. look at the USSR, hundreds of thousands imprisoned into gulags and killed. china which executies more citizens than all the other countries in the world combined. you really think that sounds better? communism always plays out the same as capitalism, a few cronies at the top take all the benefits and everyone bellow them is treated like shit for societies sake. also communism works on the basis that we are all the same – however society seems to reflect that we are NOT all the same.
and anarchism? you cant have a civilised society where anyone can do whatever they want. yes there would be some benefits, however there would be far too many people who take advantage and i think you will find that people will fuck eachother over alot more often – simply not a viable alternative.
yes, capitalism sucks and is a corrupt model, but at the moment i hate to say its the best we have. and if you want something better, try doing something other than no rich people because its an argument which the majority of educated people cannot support. the best idea i have heard so far is the vote nobody party because nobody represents me in parliament, a nice idea but again cant see it working.
good effort on saturday, suprised to see a 100 great unwashed, but still, methinks your going about the whole thing the wrong way.
I’m sorry, Mayo, but your comment shows exactly how much you know about these two theories: very, very little. The USSR was not Communism. It’s ridiculous to say it was actual communism. How on earth can you have anything near communism in a world that is entirely capitalist? It does not hold up. Lenin warped Marx and the original conception beyond repair, he was reacting to the artificial situation in Russia at the time and merely attempted to create a mixed economy- the official line was communism but its been an effective argument against communism for those who do not actually know a lot about it. Marx says the state would wither away, not turn into a bureaucracy.
Communism also does not stress people are the same, do you know anything about Marx? One of his earliest reasons was his view that man is essentially creative and very much individual. He believed capitalism denies man his ability to express himself. One look out of the window proves this.
Your argument against anarchism is also extremely weak. You haven’t provided any real evidence of why it would happen. Look at the real theory behind anarchism. It simply does not mean ‘no government,’ it is a lot deeper than that. I don’t understand how freedom from want and oppression would create the desire in people to ‘fuck each other over.’
Also calling those who went on the march ‘unwashed’ just ruins what you’re saying. You clearly don’t know these people and if you’d come down you’d realise it isn’t true. It’s a silly, dull stereotype. It’s the ability to think outside the box, not the bath.
Bella Ella!!
its getting fucking rough in here. why dont you all go back to your jazzuci with all your chummies and finish that last cocktail and fuck off
David Cameron is just another hopelessly inbred Toff. Government in this country is full of these inbred Toff parasites sucking the hard earned wealth from the rest of us. I’d like to see a Stalinist solution to the problems these Toffs are causing for our country – transport the lot of ‘em to the former Soviet Gulags in Siberia. There these parasitic Toffs will learn what real work is to survive – they really will have to do some proper graft there or die.
Toffs Out !!!!!!!!
What are you Toff bashers on about, none of the people commenting against you and ur crummy protests are even remotely upper class we live in a relatively successful capitalist society and most of the money is quite evenly dispensed, the real problems in this country are not caused by conservatives, backwards though they may be, its bloody socialists!!! benefits this and benefits that, my parents work dam hard and don’t get paid a huge amount for it but its a living who gives a toss if someones got more money than you does stop me from being happy. The break down of social and moral fiber is whats to blame and socialist principles are the root of the problem. and stop comparing us to other countries let them sort there own problems out sticking our five eggs in only makes matter worse (Iraq & Afghanistan)
Absolute genius stuff – a real throwback to the early 80s when the left hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing!
