The head of the London Metropolitan police told reporters today that he expects the organized anarcho-leftists to disrupt the Royal Wedding in April.
The anarcho-leftists vandalized several stores in London during the anti-government protests this past weekend.
The organized anarchists also threw paint and ammonia bombs at police.
AFP reported:
Anarchist militants who clashed with British police during Saturday’s march against public sector cuts will “deliberately target” next month’s royal wedding, a senior policeman told Monday’s Telegraph.
Commander Bob Broadhurst, head of public order for London’s Metropolitan Police force, said groups who vandalised shops and landmarks during Saturday’s protest would aim to disrupt the April 29 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
“Yesterday reinforced the fact that there does appear to be an appetite out there to endorse violence,” the policeman told the broadsheet newspaper.
“The concern for me is that they do what they did … in central London and divert resources away from my security plan and take our eye off the ball security wise,” he added.
The senior officer warned those “deliberately targeting” the royal event that the force would have “different powers” on the day of the wedding, including the ability to close roads and stop-and-search powers.
It is interesting isn’t it? You never see these organized anarchists at any tea party event?

If that was me damaging that company, I’d have the crep beaten out of me…why do the cops stand by and just take photos? .
Sean D Sorrentino commented:
Here’s my suggestion.
1. Publicly proclaim that the police forces have been ineffective in preventing mob action.
2. Call the public to stand in defense of their monarch on the day of the royal wedding.
3. Stand clear while the “anarchists” get stomped into paste.
Problem solved.

Anarchists fighting for the rights of government employees and expansion of government programs.
Somehow, in the progressive mind, this makes sense.

The anarchist’s just want there basic human rights. They really are no different than Tunisians, Egyptians , Libyans, Syrians, and Yemeni…..Oh Wait!!!!!! This is multiculturalism at work…. They are Tunisians, Egyptians, Libyans, Syrians and Yemeni

I absolutely dislike “royalty” and don’t respect them at all. Why would I? Because hundreds of years ago one of their ancestors was ruthless or smart enough to grab the power? Give me a break.
However. Crashing a wedding and threatening violence simply because one is a spoiled brat and thinks he has a right to everything? No.
Where’s the mounted police? Where are the police dogs? Water cannons? The Brits used to be quite kick*ss with their police and how they dealt with rioters.
Oh wait, that was in the 80s, early 90s. Today it’s all de-escalation and multi-culturalism. In many cities there are less and less bobbies on the beat and more and more desk jockies. London, and some other cities, has some kind of auxiliary police force. They are dressed like bobbies, but they’re not bobbies. They don’t have the same authority. Their name escapes me right now, but citizens in the UK have been complaining about them being utterly useless while prancing around like they own the place (similar to the TSA I guess.)
“including the ability to close roads and stop-and-search powers”
That’s so scary. Not.
In Japan, a police officer can stop me, ask for my papers and, if he sees it fit, search me. And that’s without any emergencies around. Normal police work. Every police officer who I end up talking about this ends up telling me he or she wishes they could do the same. Cause… they can’t in Austria. Same in Germany. A police officer on the street can’t force you to open your bag in Germany (except if there’s a greater police action, like a raid for smugglers, etc). You can simply say “No”, and there’s nothing he can do.
Andreas K. commented:
Greg, yep, it’s their human right to take the money from the working people. So they think.
Everything is a human right nowadays.
Last year, around this time, a student at my faculty told me that cheating during exams is his right.

Sponsor some soccer matches on the same day & get the soccer hooligans involved – I’d love to see that match-up: Soccer hooligans vs. Leftist Anarchists – put it on Pay-Per-View and use the proceeds to pay for the Royal Wedding! Pass the popcorn!
whatif commented:
Since the UK police do not carry weapons, what about synthetic pheromones and a few hundred thousand bees to disperse the anarchists? Seriously though I thought the UK police had the same non lethal anti-riot tools like the sound weapons used at the G20 meetings.

Yes, and only because you didn’t put them in jail where they belong!
Andreas K. commented:
whatif, a lot of bobbies have started to carry by now. Simply because they are being shot at, essentially, on a daily basis. But there are still many who don’t.
And the problem is, imagine, just one shot into the remote direction of the terrorists and whoever fired it is as good as dead. The media, left wing, everyone would tear that officer to shreds.
It happens here all the time. If here in Austria a police officer fires his gun even just in self defense… oh boy. The media, left wing, politicians, everyone paints him as worse than Hitler. A police officer discharging his weapon over here is guilty on default in the eyes of the media and the rest.
I say, bring out the EDL, in force. Let them deal with the black block terrorists.
Joanne commented:
Those thugs are all cowards – vandalizing while dressed in black with heads covered. Pansies the lot of them. The police should put some buckshot in a few backsides – that would send them all running right into blocked roads where they can be arrested and have a few boots placed up their a**ses on their way into the police vans.
Mannie commented:
A little rifle fire, directed into the mob, would work wonders. Pick up a gasoline bomb, and your head explodes. Lesson given. Maybe the person standing next to you was paying attention.
Or just sit back and watch on television, while they burn down what is good around you. If you’re not willing to defend your society, then you don’t deserve to have one.

They used to deal with people like these by reading to them.

I hope these anarchists do as they intend, and cause a major ruckus.
It may be the only way for decent Britons to wake up and start taking their country back from both the leftists and the vast criminal/degenrate conspiracy that seems to be running amok in the UK.

gee american tass is not scared by this violence like they were by all the senior citizens sitting in the lawn chairs at the tea party demonstrations.

anarchists fighting for more government control. i really don’t think that is what anarchists do. i wonder if the liberals call them stupid like they do conservatives.
