Thugs attack M & S picket

Saturdays (3 July) Picket of Marks&Spencer here in Manchester was attacked by an organised group of at least seven Zionist thugs.
They assaulted some of the Picketers grabbing leaflets out of their hands, attempted to turn over the Campaign stall and destroyed some of our placards. The attack lasted for over quarter of an hour before the police decided to arrive, in stark contrast to when Zionists make complaints against the Picket and the police arrive within minutes to harass us.
This was an organised attempt to smash up the Picket and intimidate us from carrying on. They will not succeed but we need support from everyone who supports the struggle of the Palestinians and who supports the right to demonstrate.
The weekly Saturday Pickets of M&S are the only consistent events in support of the Palestinian peoples struggle and it is because they are consistent that they are under such attack.
The Picket needs YOUR support this coming Saturday, don't let Zionist thugs drive us off the streets.
If you are unsure about joining the actual Picket but want to defend our democratic right to protest then you can act as a legal observer, not joining the Picket but taking notes about any incident you observe.
