No Borders, No Nations, No Deportations
March 25th, 2010
NO BORDERS LONDON staged a lightening demonstration at our Cavendish Conference Centre* on Tuesday. This group as we understand it our campaigning to eliminate the nation state, without the state there cannot be the structures of state, it is these structures that dehumanize the individual, well that’s how we understand it anyway. The demonstration took place at our centre as we were hosting an event at which unbeknownst to us was attended by a number of people involved in implementing border controls. The demonstration itself involved 15 or so people invading the centre and then taking photographs of all and sundry. This seemed anomalous to us, surely taking pictures of individuals is in itself a way of dehumanizing and intimidating people, the very thing no borders no nation’s campaign against. Well the thing was basically peaceful which was great though it’s a shame it was all about bullying and implied violence rather than discussion. Also it seems a shame to victimize the foot soldiers rather than the generals or in this case the decision makers. Check the court pages of all the big papers and then demonstrate there is my advice.
