Actions against the policing bill

Yeah, the buggers do that. I think the comrade who posted the notice for the first kill the bill demo in Leicester had dibble on to him toot sweet. Still, at least they were laid back and low key on the day, obviously deciding that going all Avon and Somerset on us was not the way to go.

Anyway, list of this weekend's actions on the ACG site: https://www.anarchistcommunism.org/...-future-demos-and-support-for-those-arrested/

Figures reveal scale of Bristol protesters injured by police - Netpol

At least 62 people injured by police violence in Bristol, new figures reveal. With significant misreporting from the media Bristol #KillTheBill protests, including false reports from Avon and Somerset police that officers had received injuries including broken bones, Bristol Defendant Solidarity...

We mustn’t forget the injuries #KillTheBill protestors have suffered

New figures from the police monitoring group Netpol reporting dozens of injuries to protestors across just three demos prove why we must fight against the Government’s draconian policing bill, writes Politics editor Ben Smoke.

A thought on yesterday: It seems like for a while the SWP was able to benefit from a situation where a lot of the people on demos were very new young people, whose political activity dated back to maybe last summer, and people who were aware of their history understandably felt that there were bigger things to be getting on with than picking fights with the SWP. It feels to me like that situation is maybe now coming to a close? For what it's worth, here are posts from some of the big Manchester summer-2020-BLM accounts:


(as ABL Manchester say, that guide wasn't made by them, not sure who did)



And for what it's worth, Collective Action LDN (no relation to the late and unlamented Platformist micro-cult, but the people who've put together the useful mega-threads of protests) were sharing this:



Dunno how all of this will play out with the next round of protests on May 1st, but suspect there's possibility for things to get messy/there to be multiple separate events happening in the same cities.
 
This weekend is unlikely to be as big, but there's still Manchester:


Lancaster:


Bristol:


And then London on Sunday:

Just saw some stickers and cards which indicate that some on the anti-lockdown are hoping to jump onto the demos tomorrow, something about "million march" or some such
 
I was going to say the above post is possibly misleading, but I see it's been taken down anyway, still up on insta though. Anyway, have seen it pointed out in response that the demo ended up in Piccadilly station, so the armed filth were likely just the general Piccadilly station police rather than a specific response to the demo.
