Anarchists should be reported, advises Westminster anti-terror police

What should you do if you discover an anarchist living next door? Dust off your old Sex Pistols albums and hang out a black and red flag to make them feel at home? Invite them round to debate the merits of Peter Kropotkin's anarchist communism versus the individualist anarchism of Emile Armand? No – the answer, according to an official counter-terrorism notice circulated in London last week, is that you must report them to police immediately.

This was the surprising injunction from the Metropolitan Police issued to businesses and members of the public in Westminster last week. There was no warning about other political groups, but next to an image of the anarchist emblem, the City of Westminster police's "counter terrorist focus desk" called for anti-anarchist whistleblowers stating: "Anarchism is a political philosophy which considers the state undesirable, unnecessary, and harmful, and instead promotes a stateless society, or anarchy. Any information relating to anarchists should be reported to your local police."

The move angered some anarchists who complained that being an anarchist should not imply criminal behaviour. They said they feel unfairly criminalised for holding a set of political beliefs.

    • Anarchists act for the benefit of all mankind. They are against statism as characterized by criminally militant corporate and banking cartels, and their hijacking of government. The closest thing that one can compare them to is that which conservative libertarians and many republicans are espousing, eliminating intrusive government.

      White Supremacists act for their own exclusionary benefit and against all others.

      To me, there seems to be a grand canyon between the two.

    • So, I shouldn't turn in the anarchists, but do turn in the White Supremacists?

      Where do we draw the line?

      Not being snarky, I really want to know.

      I want to report the anarchists in the legislative, executive, and judiciary out in DC! Anyone have a 1 800 number for that call please? I'd like to also point out the criiminals in the government who keep shitting on individual liberties, and have them name their co-cospirators in BILKING THE AMERICAN PUBLIC's 401K's and the financial wizards whose illegal inflating loans, helped bankrupt citizens, while devaluing their, and their neighbors homes...Most of which have lost them now of course.

      I'd also like to request something more than CHANGE from big O. You got any BILLS pal. Walmart wants to charge 10 percent to convert my CHANGE to BILLS!
      Thank BO! Really preciate it!
