The revolution will not begin in shops or require a uniform

An advertisement has been bought to my attention that may well give entirely the wrong impression about loitering and I wish, on behalf of the LRM to squash the evil lies being pedaled before they damage the reputation of loitering beyond repair.

A television commercial for some kind of outdoor supplies emporium is currently being broadcast. The name of the establishment escapes me but it features an over zealous goon running about extolling the virtue of some particular cut price tents.* He then goes on in a rather vexatious manner to explain you can also purchase the correct clothing for all manner of pursuits – including hiking, climbing and loitering!

When I heard this I nearly chocked on my noodles with the audacity and indignity of the very idea and urge you all to ignore this filthy nonsense

There is NO correct attire for loitering except that which you feel comfortable and stylish in.

I would venture to suggest ensuring you dress appropriately for the weather, wear comfortable shoes and be sure to add some glitter – but that is my taste and the LRM welcome anyone, no matter what they look like or believe in. Further more we reject attempts by the capitalist system to recuperate our actions for its own nefarious ends and believe loitering should be available to all, regardless of income. Indeed the right to loiter is a basic human right that should be enshrined in law not used as a tawdry attempt to sell so-called leisure wear.

The LRM: reclaiming the city for everyones pleasure. even those with crap hair.

*Just to clarify the LRM love camping and do recommend you procure something waterproof to shelter in but we do not endorse any particular brand. In fact we suggest sharing, borrowing or swapping stuff as much as possible so you need less money and thus have to work less to accrue it - becuase less work equals more time for loitering equals a happier and more just world. Taa daa! xx

Now that's my kind of logic!
