Demo held at Malvern theatres, Malvern, Worcestershire. 29/09/03
Plenty of cops were at the front and back entrances. CCTV van outside. Four failed attempts to enter the building by a few demonstrators. Most demonstrators called it a day about 2.30pm.
The remaining cops left around 4.00pm but when they tried to start the riot van they were in, the battery was flat! So they had to wait stuck in van for 30 minutes until a squad car came with jump leads! So off they went thinking it was all over ...
Four of us stayed waiting for these death dealers to come out, which they did at 5.30, not a cop in sight, and were treated to hell on earth by those of us who stayed, telling them never to come back to our town, or any town, to get the f*ck out of all our lives and to dwell on the bombed out villages of Afghanistan and Iraq and to picture the dead children, mothers and fathers that their weapons have layed waste to (as we followed them to their expensive cars and to the local high class hotel.)
According to three suits that we cornered at the end, they were discussing 'military communication systems' and 'not' selling each other WMDs at the conference which they were pleased to let us know hoping it would get them off lighter, but what they really meant was that they were discussing the equipment used to communicate the orders on where and when to use their WMDs...So, hell on earth resounded once more as we saw the final few off.
Overall a good demo, next time people, if you're reading this who were there, do hang around and help finish the job! ; )
