Activism

  • Another leader exposed

    In another stunning turn, an activist leader of another insurgent group has been located.

    He’s alleged to be a member of “Fingers And Nails”. They’re thought to use subversive tactics to undermine business.

    As a result of this they’ve caused severe disruption to others in their line of work.

  • Caught: Notorious activist

    An activist known for radical activities and extreme views has been caught up with.

    The unnamed man is known as a “Natural” in secret activist circles. He’s adept at working here, thereby evading capture.

  • Exclusive: Activist located

    A high-profile activist who is part of a group called “Looking For Trouble” has been spotted in Scotland.

    The suspect has previously been accused of seeking to wiretap politicians and steal MP’s phones to collect data.

    The timeframes of such allegations and attempts cannot be made clearer right now. This is because they’re also closely monitored by security experts.

  • Ukraine has its way with words

    An advocate for Ukraine stood outside Downing Street today to support the nation’s conflict with Russia.

    I didn’t stop to ask him questions since he was speaking yet I took a picture and moved on.

    He sounds eloquent – and defiant – in his beliefs and cause. It’s inspiring to see.

    The trouble with Ukraine is it doesn’t often get a voice, but it has President Zelensky. This is a bonus for a state that hasn’t had a voice before in any meaningful way with us.

    I’m inspired by the efforts of Ukraine to repel just an invasion and keep the conflict contained.

    It’s to Ukraine’s credit to do this, and to make sure we don’t see war, too.

    It’s a bonus that we’ve witnessed leadership like this, albeit in Ukraine and not nearer our shores.

    This is a debt we have to repay. So maybe we should get on with it and show leadership here. This is our duty, after all.

  • A squatter’s nature

    It’s interesting where squatter’s put down their stuff, these days.

    The days of a patch of land or a disused residence are passing into the mists of time to allow for more upmarket, expensive real estate.

    The moving-in of squatting groups into restaurant/retail units in London for example that cost millions to rent, is an example of a more premium sort of activism that hopes to capitalise on location and clientele to get its point across.

    I’m sure if the squatters at the York & Albany in Camden had been successful, they would of passed over a few latte’s in favour of their cause (whatever it is, as it isn’t clear what anyone believes anymore when it’s so obvious). In actuality, they weren’t able to open their own cafe – however informal – for free.

    The rents are high if it’s the only place going on a plot of land which isn’t available anywhere else (at times, with views not seen everywhere else).

    The market is tight if it has to be just right, and this is a travail experienced by many who could just open up anywhere if they were given the same opportunities as the ‘eco-SAS’, who just seem to try it anywhere.

    However, those such opportunities don’t exist and the places where restaurants, hoteliers, and the like want to set down their roots are hard to come by. It appears the same is also true for the opportunists in our midst.
