Captain Anarchy. Key Labour figure’s son’s behind the violent breakaway cuts protests.
3rd April 2011
My, what a surprise. Aren’t you surprised? I’m sure surprised.
Jack Upton, dubbed “Captain Anarchy” by his comrades , runs a radical group who confessed to having “co-organised” the Radical Workers Bloc “feeder march” which wanted to do more than “a simple A-B stroll” during the anti-cuts demonstration.
The 28-year-old, a council worker, is the son of Jonathan Upton, Labour’s head of corporate development when Mr Blair became Prime Minister in 1997.
‘Council worker’ means local government employee. Will his lose his job over this? It is to laugh. And we won’t even get into the oxymoronic nature of a ‘Labour head of corporate development’.
Contrary to the popular mythology about children rebelling against their parents, most left-wing activists had left-wing activists in the previous generation. The term ‘Red Diaper Baby’ exists for a reason.
