Something is rotten …
March 7, 2007I had mixed feelings about the eviction of Ungdomshuset and the subsequent riots - riots are generally a bad thing in my book. However, the timing of the demolition of the historic building seems to be something of a calculated slap in the face to anyone who has been involved in the labour movement, and more particularly the women’s movement.
What better time to tear down the building that hosted the first international women’s conference almost a century ago, which established international women’s day? Why, the week of international women’s day of course.
These footballers could learn a thing or two from the anarchists (and the riot police, of course.)
