Samba Summer Fete Venue Change

It's a free country innit guv | 26.06.2005 12:52 | London

Loads of food and music at Circle Community Theatre Tufnell Park Road. there was a last minute venue change from the Duke of Clarfence due to the usual state repression. i.e. a visit for the Met ( on behalf of either MI5 or perhaps a jealous vicar having a rival fete )

Todays Rhythms of Resistance G8 Summer Fete ( a fundraiser for the upcoming week of protests in Scotland and to raise awareness for the Shell AGM Noise Demo at Excel on Tuesday * )

Due to pressure from the protection racket known as the Metropolitan Police ( it's a free country guv - I'm just doing my job etc. ) the RoR Summer fete will now be on at St Georges Theatre, Tuffnell Park Road. ( easy walk from Holloway Rd, Nags Head - buses 43, 17, 271 etc. Tube -Tufnell Park then 5 mins trot ). Lots of music and food :-)

In Britain today not just anybody may hold a Summer fundraising Fete. Virtually any public event now requires police permission or at least their acquiescence. I was planning to come to the Fete in order to make a few new friends and enjoy myself but misgivings about possible police violence and/or arrest made me change my plans. I don't want to spend 10 hours or more in the slammer for doing absolutely nothing unlawful, or else being penned in a small, crowded street area. Or worse, being taken for a terrorist. The safest bet these days is to just remain indoors alone and get drunk, while restricting one's socialising to the internet, content with being merely monitored for possible dissident leanings, drug abuse, or antisocial behaviour. I suppose it is just a matter of time before my home is raided on the grounds of me being an insurgent pensioner.
