When they vote for a war, they will get a war

The Fuck The War Coalition! is bringing a small taste of war to some of those politicians that voted for it. Distanced from the blood and bombs by thousands of miles, imperialism has a sweet profitable taste, but when their windows are smashed and cars vandalised they might gain a little insight into the consequences of their actions.

If politicians don't do what their constituents want, they should be scared for their lives. They aren't supposed to work for themselves, their party or big business – but for us.

These two Edinburgh politicians, who are still in office, voted for the war that has lead to over a hundred thousand deaths, have had their office windows smashed. They are vulnerable and accountable, they have names and addresses.

We urge you to confront the dirty lying politicians, as we have done this morning: Let your discontent be known. The time for voting and marching in the streets is over, the time for direct action has begun.
