London Counter-Recruitment Picket, Saturday September 1st 11am

29-08-2007 09:21

We encourage everyone to help us hand out fliers and let people know what it's really like in the military!

Someone locked onto the pole of the marquee confused around 50 police for a good hour. Eventually they had to lock-off because police were talking about dismantling the marquee, which would have been extremely dangerous for the locked-on protester.

There are reports that there are still people up in the trees on the site.
