Federation of Teddy Protestors storm Parliament

FTP | 08.11.2005 23:50 | Animal Liberation | Repression | Social Struggles | London | World

On the Sunday 6th November the Federation of Teddy Protestors (FTP) staged a protest picnic in Parliament Square in support of their furless friends the Parliament Square Picnickers. The picnic was attended by Teddy affinity groups from across Europe including the Pooh Crew and the Soft Toy Solidarity Movement. All groups are committed to freedom of speech and freedom assembly and agree that the best way to defy the draconian SCOPA (2005) legislation is through direct action. Not content with 'fluffy' protests, a proposal to storm parliament and reclaim the commons was agreed an acted on.

Wonderfur, brilliant nothing like a good teddy bears picnic.
I'm sure you've just brought down the Govt.

Well done you all deserve a nice hot toddy with a spoonfull of honey.

Roar, Growl never whimper.

Some of the teddy bears were held captive in the Palace of Westminster after their courageous lock on.

Their release was later negotiated by Brian Haw, who secured the liberation of all the bears, fearing they would be incinerated.

Picnicers salute the teddy bears and remind IMCers that the picnics continue; free hot food was available at this one and hopefully in the future to sustain us through the winter.

What was the point of this protest? Did it do any good or was it a total waste of time?

Cool event raises interesting problems

I like your web page www.peopleincommon.org, a website to publish information about Section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (SOCPA) and the campaign against it.
