Lady Godiva is pissed off at VAT

In Krakow there was an anti-VAT-tax happening (it's the 6th anniversary of the introduction of VAT in Poland which is 22%). One of the key points was the appearance of a naked girl on a horse, making reference to a Celtic legend about Lady Godiva from Coventry, who got pissed that her husband was collecting to much taxes and went around naked on a horse. Krakow police was chasing after the girl on the horse trying to stop her. She will be charged of "indecent conduct".

Journalists tried to insinuate that the girl has received money for this from anarchists, to which she replied she did it for ideological reasons. She is a socialist. This season, the FA members in Krakow are cooperating with leftists rather than rightists, hence the socialist contacts.

The mobilisation for the no-border camp in Ustrzyki Gorne have attracted more people than similar actions in preceding years, so it looks like it's going to be interesting. Also, FA-Section in Wroclaw is campaigning locally for the September 26 summit in Prague. Many people from Warsaw also declared to go there. We'll see how the conflicts in organising styles will be worked out.
