Opposing the march for England: April 21st /Brighton

[DrRingDing]

The fencing I imagine will be very easy to jump over and would grand if a critical mass of people could get over. The plod would be forced to turn the fash back.

great piece from Schnews:

yeah, bus - fenced in march - bus back. the strategy in brighton, bristol and walthamstow was swamping the streets and preventing them from moving. this tightly controlled method keeps fash away from potential harm and is a classic 'police protect the fascists.'

in truth, that bears similarities with walthamstow too. They 'marched' the EDL (well, walked them like teachers controlling schoolboys) round the backstreets, once they realised we'd totally blocked off Bell Corner and Forest Rd

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Saw the barriers being dropped off an hour ago - 3ft it is then.

 

[TopCat]

Three feet is not a fence its a crowd control barrier! I think the presence of children amongst the MFE supporters will be the only thing that stops the marchers and police from being pelted with beach pebbles.

 

[ddraig]

they might just be extra to the fencing tho

 

[TopCat]

Myself and Mation will be at the pier at 11am. I hope to meet a few urbanites on the day. Come up and say hiya.

We might be in Brighton on Sunday (we're doing a gig the night before) but we're staying in Shoreham so are unlikely to get there until the afternoon.

Here's the right way to celebrate St George's Day:

That's why I called them a barrier, at 3ft

Cya both on Sunday!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

The 'Infidels' also have their own plans. According to an insider, they will arrive in Brighton on Saturday afternoon and on the day of the march, plan to dress in black and mingle with antifascist protesters on Brighton beach. So anyone around the beach area need to keep their eyes peeled.

Any one heard whispers of this plan?

Sounds like usual HnH /searchlight seeking to play their old games of divide and conquer on the anti fascists

 

[malatesta32]

all the action is at the pier!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Looking like it's going to be a lovely sunny day!

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Text from a friend already down there - "Plod presence is huge. Every road from pier to Middle Road barricaded big time."

 

[likesfish]

The infidel. " plans "include a torchlit parade that Leni" Riefenstahl would have been proud of
Unfortunatly being ugly stupid and numbering a dozen and of course wearing nylon flight jackets that "plan" has serious flaws

 

[Mr.Bishie]

City of London plod just turned up.

 

[gawkrodger]

good luck all

 

[tony.c]

Well done to all who are turning out in Brighton to oppose the fash. But take care.

Loads of press gretting searched?

Nine journalists stopped and searched under s60 in #Brighton

This one under the terrorism Act?

[Nice one]

This one under the terrorism Act?

s60 criminal justice and public order act - search for weapons and/or removal of masks/disguises

Often misused that one. They're only allowed to search for concealed weapons, not go through any documents or record personal details etc, but they always do anyway. Taking down names and addresses seems to be a massive fetish for the plod, regardless of whether the person they're taking notes on has done anything wrong or given any indication that they're likely to.

Why are businesses shut and areas sealed off?, people avoiding the seafront, the mod and rockers went at each other in the 60's but photos show people still lying on the beach, what has changed...

 

[editor]

All of the seafront is in total lock down. Local businesses must be losing a packet.

 

[treelover]

Apparently there are only 150 MFE/EDL, why bother?

 

[editor]

Yep. Can't be more than 150 there. Pitiful low turnout.

I can't explain how much it hurts having "You're not English any more" chanted at me.

 

[treelover]

It's a day out for M/C youngsters to dress all radical and affirm their belief in diversity..

look forward to their attendance at bedroom tax protests..

insurance costs the riots last year a better safe than sorry approach not like demos dont have previous for trashing shops that have nothing to do with the Demo.
maybe if its only a 150 they might get the message
