The Fuck Parade Strikes Back! - Reclaim Camden, Reclaim the Beats Sat July 11th 7pm

[shaman75]

Reports on twitter of riots, police everywhere, dogs, traffic carnage and a few rumours of a man with a gun

 

[shaman75]

Video from scene. Lot of smoke grenades.

 

[Limerick Red]

14 coppers merked according to whatsapp
Forces loyal to Assad holed up in the elephants head, hurling highlights in flynns interrupted !

 

[Citizen66]

Doesn't look like a riot.

 

[shaman75]

It does if you view it through the medium of twitter

 

[Citizen66]

I meant the vid of someone pissing about with some orange smoke.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

No idea what's goin on now but it was very peaceable before. Started at the Camden Tube then wandered up to the Lock with a banner over the street and then wandered back. Some of the Class War crew then started agro in the street opposite the Underworld. At that point I left.

Full marks to Simon Subvert for his ace fire breathing at various points.

4 out of 10 to the 12V sound system folks, shame because there are plenty of good mobile 12V rigs out there. Perhaps they should read the relevant Urb75 thread on this very topic no less!!!

 

[ska invita]

i think there was a technical hitch wrongspeed - last time that bin was belting it out...seemed like it wasnt working properly from the off. it was turned off for ages early on too
also last time there were about 6 sounds in the convoy....missing today

I hate that shit. Fucking pollution - it gives me asthma. Some one kept using them at the anti-austerity rally. When I first saw one I thought it was CS gas and had a right panic. Pricks. What is the point of smoke bombs?

 

[sleaterkinney]

I was in Camden around 7, wondered why all the cops were there.

1. If you paid attention you would have noticed a large group of Polish Neo-Nazis that had just come out of a gig in Underworld. That's what the bother was about. So, cheers for fucking off when those ghastly CW types start defending ourselves. The Evening Standard miraculously manages to miss mention of the white supremacists in it's report.

2. The Gabba Death Machine's main amp blew after about 20 minutes. You should bring what you wish to see, not sneer from the edges.

You weren't there.

thanks for the clarification, in hindsight i got it wrong. I did wonder what all those people were queuing up to see earlier on.

 

[Citizen66]

I'm commenting on the video. Was the riot round the corner?

If you came you may have seen.

 

[Supine]

So the trouble was somebody else's fault then...

It was peaceful until the fash appeared then things escalated....quickly.

 

[Citizen66]

Fair point.

 

[Nice one]

sobota doesn't strike me as a rapper who would attract a neo-nazi fanbase. Maybe i'm wrong.

It's well known camden town is a social hub for visiting fascists.

Any news on those arrested?

the empirical evidence suggests you're mistaken.

perhaps. But a cursory look around Sobota's background shows he has come in for a lot of hostility and racist abuse because he has a black partner and a mixed race son. (It's mostly in polish so maybe a polish speaking comrade can put some flesh on the bones of that).

Maybe neo-nazis would spend £18 to see someone who is the cultural embodiment of multi-racial diversity, i don't know. Maybe they just like the noise he makes.

yeh. being as a mutual friend with a similar family structure recently announced he voted ukip anything's possible. i don't know how much the poles paid to see yer man on sat, but unless the underworld now letting people in for free they'll have paid quite a bit.

no, you've rather cut yourself off

There could be other reasons for their attendance. Attending a gig isn't evidence of someone being a fan of the artist.

you think they were all writing reviews or weighing up the act to offer them a record contract?

Fash aren't known for turning up to gigs of people they're targetting then?
