Edinburgh Army Recruitment Centre Attacked

As part of our ongoing campaign against the further militarisation of our society, the armed forces recruitment center on Shandwick Place in Edinburgh has been attacked this morning by comrades from The Fuck The War Coalition! in retaliation for the atrocities committed by allied Imperialist forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. This morning an office for the recruitment of state-sponsored killers was vandalised: its windows broken, the shopfront redecorated.

We resent these recruitment centers deceiving people into becoming more cannon fodder to fuel imperialist wars for profit and oil; and so we have attacked one such office, and we suggest you consider doing the same.

Our assault is modest and restrained compared to the destruction of families and homes in the Middle East and Asia.

We urge everyone of moral convictions to re-evaluate their relationship with the british state. Throughout history the british empire has murdered, pillaged, tortured and raped its way around the world. The US empire is built the same: both must end.

We say to the troops: desert or mutiny, or waste your lives serving an immoral and murderous master. Pour sand in the oil filters of your tanks, place rocks in the engines of your planes.

We the people have the power to end these wars. We urge you to follow your conscience.

Troops Out Now.

No War But The Class War.

Re: Edinburgh Army Recruitment Centre Attacked

FTWC Please be more careful in your actions, You give yourself away too much when giving statememnt's whether these be your principles etc. no war but class war, Damage of property is not violence, members only exist when, this is very similar to many anarchist groups, especially located in middle europe.. There is not, and will never be, any leadership or organisational structure. Now that you have made your feelings clear I would suggest no further comments except to claim responsibility, A belated friend..

yeah, fuck it! (not to be taken literally)

cool its like che guevara meets gandhi meets operation mayhem from fight club meets sojourner truth if you will (the escaped slave and mystic African-American woman who joined the Underground Railroad illegally helping other escaped slaves reach the abolitionist north) with a charming Scotch accent ~with all due respect to the last anonymous poster i think that with the revealing of the esoteric articles and principles the fuck the war coalition! has ingeniously devised an enticement for other activists to join in the fun of civil disobedience, and it is indeed civil as you know if you read article 1 and i do recommend visitors to this site to read the entire manifesto, and see for yourself the highly principled almost religiously righteous tone not anything like the words of a jaded or antisocial person rather one who believes in democracy and freedom not in the bush/blair sense of those words but in the thomas jefferson/william wallace sense fuck that shit seriously fuck all wars

"There is not, and will never be, any leadership or organisational structure." Cool! I'm off to smash something.

Re: Edinburgh Army Recruitment Centre Attacked

Why don't you sum up your articles into a single one? e.g. "Article 1. Anything we do is justified - because we say so" It's a lot more truthful + easier to fit on a poster.

Re: Edinburgh Army Recruitment Centre Attacked

We'd be better spending the money on extra police than these stupid wars based on lies and greed. Its pathetic that they have invaded afghanistan for opium poppies. popies are natural and dont cause distruction like their weapons do. If there was more police then maybe our kids would be safer to walk the streets without becoming victim to these predators modern life throws at them.
