The WOMBLES are some of the nicest anti-capitalists you could hope to meet, and they’re not stupid, either. So, if they are involved in this planned blockade of parliament, they probably know what they’re doing. Still, this action sound rather heroic: in the positive sense, but in the sense of “heroic failure,” too. Good luck to them, anyway.

I think it sounds kind of great. But yes, it will fail!

Yeah. I was feeling kind of optimistic about this earlier today, thinking, “they only need 500 people or so and they could really make an impression.” Indymedia is suggesting it was about 150 people, which, predictably, didn’t accomplish a huge amount. Ah well, nice that they tried, I guess.
