Is Chaos Day set to return on Monday?

I'm not sure how many people are aware of this, but the loony anarchists are coming back to London to cause chaos and "Sack Parliament" on Monday when its opened. The protest, which as far as I know has not liaised with any of the authorities, is being organised by the anti-capitalist group WOMBLE (White Overall Movement Building Liberations through Effective Struggle).

What exactly do they expect to do? Well that's a little unknown, apparently they want to cause trouble and stop MPs from entering Parliament in protest at erosion of civil liberty, ASBOs, free speech etc. But then the bit that says "Take part! Stop them continuing their wars" kind of gives away the wider agenda.

In truth an anti-War rally that thinks a disparate bunch of old left wingers, islamists mysoginists and anti-capitalism anarachists is somehow representative of wider society. Hopefully the police will act accordingly, pen them in, and stop them running riot, although I fear it may not turn out that way.
