"It is infuriating to see another Labour government seek to appease a rightwing voter base by reinforcing the “tough on crime” doom loop that has gridlocked our justice system for the past 30 years. It was New Labour’s punitive posturing that drove up the prison population by 40% between 1997 and 2010"

Fascists are rejoicing and attempting to cause a scandal because there was one banderol that “encouraged violence” in Sundays antigovernment protests that was attended by 10k - 20k people.

Below published stance from the anarchist group A-ryhmä that made and carried the banner. Screenshots from their Instagram. 1/2

The A-Group's position and comments to Ilta-Sanomat regarding the "noise banners" at Sunday's demonstration. The picture shows a banner with the text "If something is cut, let's cut Petter and Riikka's heads off." A drawing of Petteri Orpo and Riikka Purra between open scissors. And the A-group logo.
The sign has sparked a debate on social media. How did you comment on your sign and the debate it has generated? The text of the sign has first appeared in Kapinatyöläinen magazine as " If you cut something, you cut Iiro's head", a reference to Iiro Viinanen's and the Coalition's actions during the recession of the 90s. We felt that the Orpo-led government's plans to cut back are so brutal and hostile that they are comparable to the original context of the text, so it is time to dig up the old slogan. We understand that for some the text on the sign is too much, but it does not reflect our agenda, the aim was to satirise the government and provoke a moralist reflection on how far the responsibility of politicians who deliberately miserable the living conditions of the people should extend.
How would you describe the message of the sign? The message drew attention to the amount of human distress and suffering, comparable to violence, that the government's plans for cuts and labour market inequalities will cause, especially for the poor, the sick, the unemployed and low-wage workers, including many supporters of the Finns. If government politicians feel that they have a right to cause all this, those affected by government policies have at least a right to carry protest banners with more than just slogans. We wanted to bring to the streets the discontent on which new demonstrations and eventually a general strike will be built in the autumn.
We also hope, of course, that government politicians sleep very badly at night after seeing popular discontent on the streets. Construction businesses and building factories go bust at the drop of a hat every few days; today the closure of the Sunila paper mill was announced. These workers who have been put to work in the kilometer mills are in for a cold shower when the government programme and its cuts to their livelihoods start to be implemented. At the same time, Orpo and Purr gave themselves a ton of pay rises and are smiling happily as their capitalist friends' accounts swell. This is not acceptable to us and we will at least show it on the signs.
