The Space Hijackers Blog

I am sitting at the hall and waiting for some of the other Hijackers to arrive to make props for the NIKE run action.

No one's here yet and it's wet :-(

We had a successful day yesterday, with agents November, Emily, Aneeta, Zargof & Bristly Pioneer making props all afternoon.

We made half a dozen banners and eight hats for the Nike run. Greenman is going to search for the voodoo outfits left from his party and this should be the costumes completed. We need to make a few more rubber stamps to brand people with, plus find a source for some red ink.

The Save Limehouse bar was opened last night, with agents Bristly, Ladybird, Greenman, Aneeta and Evil Brown dancing like maniacs in our big empty HQ hall. When will we ever learn that it's never a good idea to get drunk on a school night?

The Nike Run London action last week was a real success. Unfortunately I wasn't allowed on the tube with the pyramid poles to make our temple, however in the long run this made the action much better, with us being more mobile.

A full report and pics have now been put up on the front page of the Space Hijackers site, so have a look if you get the chance.

The next action we have planned is a border control action for the SOCPA zone. Incase you don't know the Serious Organised Crime and Policing Act 2005 has made it illegal to protest within a mile of Parliament without a permit from the Police. So basically you have to ask the government if you can protest against them! They can then impose conditions upon your protest to make it suitable to them, for example no loud hailers, only a certain amount of people and even time limits and designated areas for you to protest in. It makes a mockery of the idea of democratic protest.

We have a cunning plan for Guy Fawkes day, for more details join up as a Space Hijacker secret agent.

Bristly Pioneer
over and out

After a great meeting this month, we have a whole bag of tricks up our sleeve for the Guy Fawkes day SOCPA action. Greenman, Hardcastle and Bristly spent an afternoon in HQ researching the law and working on props.

If you have not yet pencilled in the date, we will be meeting in central London on the 5th November for our SOCPA action. Details are still TOP SECRET, so you will have to sign up as a Hijacker Secret Agent to find out more.

Plus Agents Ladybird and Bristly Pioneer went to visit the newest recruitment to the Hijackers Gang. Leo Klink is just 4 weeks old and looking like he is going to become a fine agent. Photo's coming soon.

Stuck for something to do this weekend?

Why not spend the afternoon zombie style as one of the undead?

The Rise of the Dawn of the Evil Living Zombie Dead!

You hungry for brains London? Then set your alarms for 28 October 2006 and join up for a day of zombie fun around the streets, and indeed taverns, of the metropolis.

Meeting point - will be announced on the site below and on the group a few days before the event. It will be in the early afternoon in a central London pub.

We recieved an email from a group called SURF (Strand United Resistance Front) who had taken a bit of inspiration from our site. It seems like they would make a fine bunch of pirates to join our ship.

See below for more details:

Dear Hijackers,

We did this thing where 'DIY scuba gear' meets 'guerrilla street
theater', in an effort to raise awareness about the storm water problems
in our area (problems which have been created by unchecked suburban
sprawl)... and upon reading your manifesto it seems our bit of fun
politics takes on a whole new dimension. So I stole a quote from your
second manifesto and added it to a few pics with captions, to make a
little report about the event.

I just thought I'd let you know. :-)

At High Noon on 5th November

the CSG (Citizens Supporting Government)

Will be holding a voluntary border control of the SOCPA zone (Serious Organised Crime and Policing Act 2005). In an effort to assist the powers that be clamp down upon unproductive dissent and terrorism.

We will be scanning the general public and alerting the authorities of any suspicious or potentially subversive characters entering the zone (e.g. pretty much everyone with a political opinion).

Expect brain scanners, battle plans, questionnaires, human chipping, and many other authoritarian measures to help support the government in their
quest to limit freedom of speech.

We believe there should be a limit to freedom of speech, and we believe it should lie 1 mile around parliament.

Join us to help keep the job-shy soap-dodging dole-scroungers and their ilk away from parliament.

Yours the CSG

Meet at the South East corner of St James Park
