RAF recruitment disrupted at Pride

Today the Royal Air Force marched in the so-called 'Pride' march and held a stall in the park afterwards. There was disruption and noise from naughty queers who prefered something just a little more radical than commercial gayness...

Although numbers were low, we managed to join the march and harass the RAF for the entire time with chants and an enormous pink banner. They seemed distinctly pissed off the whole afternoon and even tried to get the march security to remove us, but to no avail. We gave out fliers advertising the new queer space at the cowley club (first meeting 7pm,14th August, Cowley Club, 12 London Rd, Brighton) and talked to a confused public about why the RAF marching in 'pride' and giving out stickers and sweets didn't make them good guys.

Later we flyered and harassed at the recruitment vans and had a mass die-in infront which apparently terrified the tough guys as they called in the cops to defend them. All in all, a fun day. Photos to come.

with rebellion and pink pants,
