Dan P, Newcastle
After two months of doing not much at all, the UoN encampment has finally reached its absolute limit. With barely more than 5 people at the camp at any given time (I say ‘camp’, but currently it is a single tent and a few ‘decoy’ tents) outside of scheduled events, it is safe to say now that the encampments strategy (tactic?) has been a failure. It was adopted spontaneously by activists riding a bandwagon. The UoN encampment should pack it up and regroup. Newcastle activists are a shameful joke. In what other city are the majority of activists either rapists, rape defenders, or rape defender defenders? Newcastle communists have a long and tough road in front of them.
Campers seem to have agreed to a ‘deal’ with administration to pack their camp up in exchange for limited forms of ‘disclosure’, but divestment from the military industrial complex is not on the table. Three months of sitting around doing nothing, all for nothing?
PARTISAN!
