I was there at the raids afterwards, damn newspaper hadn't told me any mention of armed police or terrorists,
The first thing I knew something was a bit weird was lots of old battered white van man vans coming from all directions and lots of armed police jumping out
Being dressed all in black, with a press photographers jacket with flash wires and connectors hanging out and carrying one of these
I was lucky not to get shot, especially as at one point I was threatened with being shot unless I had over my media cards
Bear in mind the surrounding flats were full of people taking snaps on their smart phones, I just laughed and said go ahead shoot a tog in front of hundreds of witnesses
They shut up then, hours later the fear finally kicked in and I was thinking why do I say thatSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent. -
