So many particulars. So many questions.
its a cheap smear anyway- gove did the same at a teachers protest, used the presence of a few swappie placards to sneeringly dismiss the whole mass of protestors as 'trots'. Standard arch sneering from 'public school gangster' DRINK? though. Blokes a bugle

My daughter goes to school in Tottenham. I was glad to see NUT banners at the vigil.

I'd say there was at least 1000 there at peak time. Maybe a lot more.

The SWP are against the bourgeois justice system.

the usual downcount taken from OB estimates I suppose? Jus like the 'tense and hostile' atmosphere the press often attribute to the most convivial of protest marches/vigils/etc

I wouldn't swear to it, but no way was it 200.
ETA BBC is saying 500, so I'd expect it to be more. http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25686732

That has to be one of the sickest !!! things i've ever seen.Even if Mark had been a "gangster" which i've seen no proof of. That woman lost her son, which no mother should ever live to see
And that cunt littlejohn attacks her as if she was a fictional character and not a living person.
What a sick twisted person he is.If thats what he willing to put in print imagine what he really thinks.
I thought we had move on as a society, but if you can print that in a national paper, we are truely fucked

tbh i thought the consensus was that their alternative hadn't been found entirely satisfactory

I dunno. Denunciations, show trials and gulags have been getting a bad rap lately but it's certainly cheaper, at least until you get to the point where you've got no taxpayers left because you've killed them all.

no, i meant their internal courts for their recent, er, local difficulty

Would have said maybe 500 myself,was expecting a bigger turnout.

i think the police emphasis that 'these people are rioters in waiting' probably put a lot of people off. also first nice saturday in ages, so people probably decided to do other things. very quiet at work today.

Yes that was one of the most shameful fiascoes I've ever seen. Tallies with the accounts I've heard from several women who were briefly involved in the SWP but had to leave because of the sheer level of sexism they experienced.

Littlewit lives in a gated community in LA and sells vile opinion pieces to the daily mail who keep publishing him because he strikes a tone some people are glad to hear. He's got fuck all to do with real opinions- theres dyed in the blue wool tories who would go 'steady on' at his shittest pieces. The mans a fucking joke and hopefully will be targeted by a reaper drone by accident
Just read this, its horrendous, how does he get away with it, anyway, she is much more articulate than that creature...

Respect for going froggy.Was there much of a racial divide, I was listening to the radio and they were playing it like the whole O.J, Trayvon Martin where there was a pretty stark divide on based on race
But the area Mark was from is pretty integrated.
Surely he is seen as a son of the area

No amount of cajolery...
It was a really small protest where I was (Oxford) but we had lots of public support

The London one was pretty good on race/gender/age balance fwiw.
Good to see speakers from the Turkish community and also the Hillsborough campaign.

I should hope so, the guy was as much white as black and I'm not aware of anything to suggest that he was shot for being black so its a shame that some elements of the media and community are pushing it as a race thing.

The London demo was very mixed and as you describe representative of the area.family members and speakers spoke of orgreave,hillsborough,Birmingham 6 and Guildford 4,travellers, there was a speaker from the Kurdish community, there was a real sense that this keeps happening over and over again in working class communities,and while undoubtably the black members of our communities get a ridiculasly high portion of the shit dealt out, that the thing that binds all the mentioned incidents is poverty, and class.
Beautiful day here in Tottenham, can't make the vigil as I'm waiting for a friend to come over, will update the thread if things get lively
Fingers crossed
We really need to divide people right now! Fight the power!

He was under surveillance from Trident, which until 2012 “focused primarily on gun crime and homicide within the black community”, indicating that the Met certainly considered him to be ‘black’.
