If I had had better parents I would have melanin. I would not burn up in the Sun.
But I do. I've got skin like a Ultra Violet powder and it smokes gently in strong sunlight. Nor do I ever really move in a coherent fashion before 11am.
so I'm an armchair pirate. fuckity fuck. & to think in my enthusiasm I had watched all the old naval movies. But it got on the TV channels and was a great success. and I'm sure there'll be lots more photos. )-: I wasn't there. fuckity fuck.
It ought be noted, that the vast majority of Sub Saharan immigrants who work in Europe for the lowest wages, and who hold thier jobs with the lowest security, have made the last leg of the journey to Europe on raft.
Everyweek the coastal guard of Spain and Italy take hopeful migrants from the Mediterranean sea, indeed it their main function is to patrol the narrow stretches of Sea between Andalusia and Morocco, and Sardinia/Sicily and Tunisia searching for small rafts.
The demonstraters yesterday, of whom 200 managed to make a 3km journey, used the same material (used water bottles, urban waste, old palatte boards) to make their rafts, which our fellow workers, use to enter Fortress Europe. But their journey is considerably more dangerous, and on average more than 50 km in distance. Some chose routes around the Gaurdia Civil and will spend many days afloat and cover a distance of 250km.
Once inside the Forum complex there was a brief attempt by the Forum director, to "absorb" what is being termed by mainstream media as an "anti-Globalisation protest" by "the Assembly".
However after a few minutes, the aquatic teams of the "Assembly" had had enough of playing "protest and spectacle for the business of culture industry" and tagged the place up instead.
Amidst complaints from the PP municipal leader that the assembly and its members who took part in the stunning action of assembling and navagating a flotilla of rafts and thus bringing 200+ protesters by sea into the "pay only" Forum compound, ought be prosecuted.
The Assembly is reported in todays minor commercial press as having handed over an envelope containing 100€ to the Director of Forum2004 to cover the cost of water and food.
It must be remembered, that the Assembly apart from concieving this astounding action, never planned any objective further than "entering the Forum precint".
Once the objective had been acheived, the activists were naturally hungry and thirsty, and is is only natural that they as pirates looted in a nice utterly liberal and modern way the food and water and soft drinks made available at high cost to those who pay the top whack entrance fee.
Unfortuanately none of the universal culture God Squad remained from the previous week's parliament of religions, and so there were no well cooked British Sikh nan breads going.
The directorship of the Forum have accepted the envelope, and though describing the incursion as "incivic" in that it saw many multi-national-corporation logos obscured by aerosol spray, they have agreed not to press any criminal charges.
