Apologies for the delay, I just got me photos back from the developers. This is just a selection of what i reckon are the best of the bunch. I hope they show the more laid back side of the protests, so enjoy.

Why so harsh on GR? look at those photos, a fantastic bunch, look, look at them running in the third picture, you just know that a load of filthy capitalists are running away from them. GRRRR... go GR... and look at Joe go, I bet he's yelling one of his all time greats like, "hey ho lets go" or "1,2,3,4 all swp members dont know what comes after four".

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant... course i wouldnt leave my pet hamster in their hands but you off to say, when the going gets tough, when police may they be Genovese or Irish attack, you can bet on one thing, joe chanting, "1,2,3,4 lets get the fuck out of here and sell some papers".

I wonder, maybe some GR/SWPers can answer this one, did you all have to learn "Do you want to buy Socialist Worker?" in Italian. Oh I can see it now "Lei vogliono comprare il Lavoratore Socialista?" written on all the their little handies.

brilliant. we really showed who the real revoltuionary are. can't you see our banner resist war end capitalism? it's cool, isn't it? what did we do to end capitalism? we sold socialist worker and chanted the slogan we were tolds to chant by joe carolan. one solution revolution is my favourite one. now we are back home. please join us. as you can see from the pictures above we are NOT a swp front.

Re the comments on this item: Whose interests does it serve to abuse anti-globalisation activists organising a contingent to join the G8 protests, with these snide comments? Even if you disagree with GR is it really necessary to be so childish? I am assuming (perhaps wrongly) that you are anti capitalists yourselves. You make yourselves and the movement you pretend to uphold absurd by such antics. Is this your real intention? Or are you just caught up in your own small minded and bitter sectarianism? I say fair play to ALL those who participated in their various ways. And two fingers to the begrudgers.

Why don't you piss off and set up your own message board and tear into the SP to your hearts content. Give it a fucking rest!
