Jody Macinytre, radical pro-Palestine supporter and sufferer from cerebral palsy has made much hay of the fact he was dragged out of his wheelchair by riot police at Thursday’s protests. Yet he has previously admitted to be coordinating breaking police lines. He claims on his blog he is a revolutionary yet spent a BBC interview declaring his innocence and denied live on Sky that he was in fact a revolutionary before going on to claim that the police had no reason to move him out of the way. However he has revelled in, and incited, violence on his website.

His argument is undone when a quick glance at his blog shows that he has been at the forefront of the protests so far at Westminster and managed to walk all the way up to the top of Millbank back in November, blogging that “It was an epic mission to the top. Nine floors; eighteen flights of stairs. Two friends carried my wheelchair, and I walked.” Macintyre can’t hide behind his disability when the police treat him like any other violent trespassing thug. It’s called equality…

Hat-Tip : Phil Taylor

UPDATE: Further pictorial evidence emerges of the police being as gentle as possible in moving Macintyre and in doing so the officers put themselves in personal danger from the hail of missiles. Here is a quote from Graham Mitchell the photographer “Mr McIntyre was in the front row of the crowd and in a very precarious position, especially as he is wheelchair bound. It was clear from my vantage point that the police moved him as gently as possible and in doing so the officers put themselves in personal danger from the hail of missiles. Once he had been moved away from the front line to a safe distance, the officers sat him  on a low level wall.  Mr McIntyre got up and started arguing with an officer.  He was so wound up that he eventually tried to strike an officer and was only stopped from doing this due to the intervention of a famale passer-by.”

This has to be a pretty compelling argument for students paying their way. Guido presents to you the best and brightest of Northumbria University:

Comparing the privileged life of an undergraduate to kids starving in Africa, who have to worry about their next meal rather than their media studies assignment. Nice.

Howard Flight’s comments yesterday have rehashed the old eugenics argument, with the left lobbing all sorts of accusations that evil right wingers want to sterilise the poor. Fraser Nelson, Ed West and Paul Goodman have been quick to remind the left of the dirty little secret that they promoted well into the twentieth century.

As George Bernard Shaw wrote: “The only fundamental and possible socialism is the socialisation of the selective breeding of man.” Keynes said the working class was too “drunken and ignorant” to be trusted to keep its own numbers down. The New Statesman declared in 1931: “The legitimate claims of eugenics are not inherently incompatible with the outlook of the collectivist movement.” And funny how quiet today’s Fabians have been on the whole subject…

Flight’s choice of words may not have been ideal, but the left don’t have a leg to stand on, he wasn’t calling for sterilisation. Prominent Fabians such as H G Wells and Webbs led the way in combining the ‘progressive’ ideologies of socialism and eugenics. It didn’t stop when Mosely quit the group either, while eugenics is now a dirty word, for a century the Fabians have sought, and sadly often succeeded, in undermining the traditional family, property rights and individual freedom. Their cause was, and still is, evil.

Panic on the streets of London:

SW1 totally locked down and there are a lot more coppers this time. Though to be honest that was a pretty stupid place to leave a police van.

UPDATE:

Ninja studies must surely qualify as a micky-mouse subject.

UPDATE II: Attempted invasion of the FCO and Treasury held back:

With batons.

Eighteen year old Edward Woollard has pleaded guilty to throwing the fire extinguisher from the top of CCHQ. No word on any sentence yet. Guess his lawyers told him that the excuse that he was throwing it into a space where nobody would or could get hurt, wasn’t going to wash…

Especially given he grazed a copper.

Given the recession has financially crippled thousands of small businesses and seen pay freezes and cuts across the public sector, two people didn’t do too badly during the crisis. The outgoing Unite co-General Secretaries Tony Woodley and Derek Simpson will leave their jobs in charge of the super-union very rich men. Derek Simpson was on £196,497 if you add up car, salary, and perks etc. Poor Tony Woodley only managed to squeeze £135,330 a year out of the worker’s membership subs. Since 2007 they have seen a eye-watering 56% and 62% pay-rises respectfully, unheard of in the real world. Given that the average salary in the UK is somewhere around £25,000, the union-fat cat copy writes itself.

The newly elected Len “there is no such thing as an irresponsible strike” McCluskey is a Che loving militant-hardliner, who wears his man of the people credentials on his sleeve. If Ed Miliband wants to distance himself from the union that gave him his job he might have a bit of a challenge with this one, McCluskey was a big player in the BA strikes.

The real question though is will “Red Len” take a massive pay-cut before he mans the barricades and leads the charge?

The state-loving, centralising, tax and spending, HuffPo wannabe, traffic-barren left-wing blogs are centralising their operations. Guido has long suspected they work together to plot the occasionally successful pincer-movement, but just as the  Central Committees of the communist past were instigated, they just cannot keep an iota of independence:

Political Scrapbook, which is the one lefty blog that seems to have a sense of humour, is sadly leading the charge to unite all the “big” left-wing blogs on to one server. Apparently it will protect against all those pesky surges in traffic that must keep occurring from all those massive scoops and scalps they keep getting. Guido isn’t sure that there was much point in the Political Scrapbook team wasting time photoshopping an advert for the project when they could have just emailed the other three blogs that might be interested…

So the news wires now have it.

Our target was arrested earlier in Cambridgeshire.

Guido would put money on our laughing boy being from Anglia Ruskin University Students Union…

UPDATE 18.00 : At this moment it is not clear which of the two  extinguisher brandishing yobs has been arrested.

Embattled NUS President Aaron Porter’s disastrous handling of demolition day has been slammed at Policing Minister Nick Herbert’s emergency session called in the House to dissect yesterday’s events. Peter Bottomley, Charle Elphicke  and Nadine Dorries poured water on the spin that it was a few minorities who were nothing to do with the NUS, citing photographic, film and eyewitness accounts that NUS officials were involved in the violence.

Matthew Hancock accused Aaron Porter of inciting the violence with its “demolition” and “rioting” branding of the event. Along with footage, Guido is analysing the leaflets they were handing out are also being investigated.

The Minister admitted:

“there was clearly a failure on the behalf of the NUS in planning having previously had a good relationship with the Police.”

A bit of  an understatement really.

Amongst the rhetoric and the marches, at the end of the day NUS is meant to be a lobbying group, if members have no faith in the President how is his position possibly tenable? Other MPs complained that the NUS had not lobbied them, bar some social media, and had instead merely restored to violence. The overwhelming number of questions asked why there was such a spectacular police failure. It’s quite simple – Aaron Porter failed.

We now know that 51 people were arrested yesterday, but there is one fugitive who needs to be brought to justice. Guido is offering a £1,000 reward for information leading the to the arrest and prosecution of the thug(s) involved in the throwing of the fire extinguisher from the roof of CCHQ yesterday. Aaron Porter is probably too young to remember David Wilkie, killed by a previous generation of left-wing thugs in similar circumstances.

It was just by sheer luck that the fire extinguisher thrown from the roof-top missed a copper or a fellow protestor.

Someone out there knows who was responsible and Guido hopes they have a conscience – email guido.fawkes@order-order.com.

UPDATE : Tim Montgomerie from ConservativeHome has chipped in £100 of the reward, anonymous others have chipped in another £200 or so.
