Stop police violence demo in Redditch

A national demo has been called in Redditch on Sat 18 April

This demo has had very little discussion on here. Is anyone going?

The idea of staging a national anti police violence demo in Jacqui Smith`s home town seems a good idea to me. Large numbers of protesters would have a huge impact and would likely be covered well in the press. Most big demos happen in London, but it doesn`t have to be this way.

Jacqui Smith will be battling to keep her seat in parliament at the next election. The last thing she would want is lots of adverse media coverage from a big anti police violence demo in her constituency!!

Jacqui has Ian Tomlinson`s blood on her hands. And it`s a wonder there were not more deaths or serious injuries when you consider the way most the police were behaving. Let`s take this message to the streets of Redditch!

Saturday 18 April, 12 noon, Redditch Town Hall

It would be a great shame if something were to happen to them on the day. Seems like there is no shortage of targets in the area.

Have fun!

Trying to get into my house, saying they just wanted to come in for "a little chat", soon went off though...then some warrant officer barstad bloke turned up instead. We (to be more precise I) had a little(well if truth be told large) picnic once at West Mercia police HQ when Sean Kirtley was sent down. It is just on the outskirts of Worcester (a couple of miles from Redditch) and as the transit vans full of police there to monitor the demo pointed out is kriss crossed with really nice footpaths should anyone fancy a walk after the demo.It is where baby PCs are taught how to police etc and houses the Chief Constable.
For those who like to travel the lovely city of Hereford (also within west Mercia territory) has scenic views and is home to Cargill chicken slaughters, suppliers of McDonalds, rainforest burners, worker abusing, GMO tinkering, HLS customers. Follow you nose the smell is awful and you will reach the abbatoir. They also sponsor Hereford united. On the Rotherwas industrial estate Arrowmight make make cages and stereotaxic devices for many different torturers.
Then there are so many hunt kennels to tour as well.
Looks like a busy day!
