Canary Wharf Staff Brace for the ‘Burial of Capitalism’

We hear word that Canary Wharf is about to be swamped this afternoon by a horde of ghoulish crusties, who have arranged a mass Halloween protest called “Dancing on the Grave of Capitalism”.

Staff from several companies in the mammon complex have been strongly advised to avoid contact with the granolas… One staff memo to Canary Wharf employees read:

“Our advice to staff is to avoid the protest, where possible. While there is no indication there will be any violence, on previous occasions protestors have attempted to provoke passers by, believing that they might be “Bankers.” If approached, we recommend not engaging in discussions with any protesters.”

That’s right… stay AWAY from the crazed swampies…!!

The organisers of the event want attending pinkos to dress up and bring the kids, and plan to assemble outside the tube station and party all night in front of Lehman Bros European Headquarters:

“What if the rotting corpses of Reclaim the Streets, the Liverpool Dockers’ Dispute, and numerous Anti-Roads Protests arose to celebrate the Death of Capitalism with a Ghoulish, Trick or Treat, Family-Friendly, Sambasista, Mass Street Party? What if the Four Horsefolk of the Anti-Capitalist Apocalypse – Anarchist, Communist, EcoWarriorRevolution and – rode out to join in the chaotic mayhem fun?”

If you’re in the area, keep your eyes peeled for the burial of capitalism, which is scheduled to happen 17.30 sharp, (followed by kids Halloween hour and DIY cabaret?!)

Oh and remember also to colour in your pin stripes, refashion your bowler into street-fash trilby, and whatever you do, don’t look the anarachists directly in the eyes or they will eat your soul…
