Capitalism has been heating up our world for years, melting the icecaps, burning up the rainforests, pushing the planet to tipping point. Now we're going to put the heat on them. They're trying to get away with the biggest April Fools trick of all time. Their neo-liberal, freebooting, tax-dodging, bonus-guzzling, pension-fund pinching, unregulated free market world's in meltdown, and those fools think we're going to bail them out. They've gotta be joking! We can't pay, we won't pay and we're taking to the streets.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will lead carnival parades starting at 11 a.m. from the rail stations:
- Moorgate Red horse against War;
- Liverpool St Green horse against Climate chaos
- London Bridge Silver horse against Financial crimes
- Cannon Street Black horse against land enclosures and borders in honour of the 360th full circle anniversary of the Diggers
At 12 noon, April 1st, we're going to reclaim the City, thrusting into the very belly of the beast: the Bank of England. On April 2nd, we're going to bang on their hotel doors, to deliver our message of a world beyond capitalism.
