This is scathing of the cynical hacks who comprise the city's political class:

God knows what's taking London so long, but I suppose it makes sense, it does usually take a while for London to catch up with more forward-thinking places like Truro and Norwich.

You've got every left sect disagreeing on time, location and whether to tell the swerps to fuck off. Probably.

won't be easy for the cops to police demonstrations across the city and around around the clock.

As anyone who noted the innumerable different vehicle decals in Bristol might consider, separately organised gatherings across the country taking place at roughly the same time, but announced at different times - some really up to the wire - will play havoc with the centralising tendencies within British public order policing, and further complicate mutual aid arrangements.

Which is, I'm sure we can all agree, A Good Thing

I know it's come into more common use over the past 12 months or so, but I always found it intriguing how up till then, "mutual aid" seemed to be a phrase only used by anarchists and coppers.

I think you may have inadvertently misread hitmouse, who acknowledged the long term use of the term by police, but was reflecting upon its new found proliferation through the pandemic, such as with local community mutual aid groups.

that's why i edited

Also, Sisters Uncut are running workshops on understanding the bill, how we can oppose it and knowing your rights.

Pre-National Day of Action sign up

These sessions will be an introduction to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and why it is such a dangerous piece of legislation. We will be looking at some of the ways that the bill can be resisted, covering your rights at a protest and on the street, and how we can intervene to...

A friend sent me this yesterday, all I've seen for London so far.

That's the flyer for Newcastle

 

[Serge Forward]

It is indeed Newcastle. Apparently, London will be announcing some time after 6pm. Just waiting for the conclave's white smoke.

Ah, she thought it meant Monument London, I thought it was very strange I hadn't seen it anywhere else. Sorry!

Purely out of curiosity, I find myself wondering if these could all be plotted on a Google Maps, er, map...

London start is Hyde Park at 1pm on Saturday, apparently:

Perfect!

I got this one in London as well. Looks like the same time/location though.

 

[hitmouse]

Yeah, that map thing has a few extra that haven't come up in this thread/the ACG article yet, including Kendal, Nottingham, and an extra two London ones. They're up to 37 now, and guessing that number'll be higher soon.

 

[Elpenor]

Wasn't there due to be one near to Finsbury Park on Friday, I need to drive around that area on Friday so will try and avoid that precise location.

Ignore, just seen it and added everything on the ACG page.

The HMICFRS report is here:

A real corker. ‘A different officer recorded in his statement: “Some of the verbal abuse directed at officers was some of the worst I have come across in my 16 years of policing.”’
