Since my performance faliure I've been pissed every day and it feels really good. Maybe Malung's are supposed to be like this. This way it makes sense. I drank all morning at the club and stepped out into the bright sunshine heading for the anti-war march with no sleep. Mike brought our banners. His summary of proceedings is here.
The "Its all your fault" banner was a really dark, dark thing neither of us wanted to carry until we were really pissed. I had a good chat with a member of the SWP (the one who didn't call us scum)who gave us what he believed was the other side of the anti-SWP stuff on socialistwanker. Mike asked him if he was offended by our banners. He repiled that he just thought they were stupid. I agreed with him and invited him to contribute an article to our site on any topic he wants. He is the third member of the SWP I have met who I have extended this invitation to.
We had quite a few random protesters come up to us who appreciated the humour how it was meant. Even the security women who Mike was arguing with (pictured on his article)
seemed to find it funny and she laughed when I heckled George Galloway for being boring.
A nice girl I met at Synergy said to me
"It's a bit bad for you to be encouraging animosity with these people if you are basically on the same side no?"
I had to agree with her really. It was a really fun day though.
We are pictured on a cheerful Indymedia article here
