One for the archivists (via Helen):
In last year's Mayday report The Guardian UK featured Circle Line Party II in a decade-long retrospective of anti-capitalist protests. CLP II appeared alongside the G8 summit and WTO "battle in Seattle" protests, not to mention Critical Mass and Reclaim The Streets.
Funnily enough, unlike all the other events mentioned in the article, there's no explanation offered as to in what way CLP is anti-capitalist. Make of that what you will...

"Sneak on" and "take over". Like buy tickets, proceed to the platform, wait for a train, and board it, like everyone else? How devilish! What cunning plan will those protesters/partgoers think of next :-)
They could've at least mentioned the Tools of Protest: a tequila bar in a sax case, purple gel lights, mirror balls, sound systems, pole-dancing platform, a full samba band...
