Thousands turn out against EDL in Cambridge. Part 2

12-07-2011 19:56

The police were careful to keep both demos very separate, and went to great lengths (and doubtless great expense, including keeping the copper chopper in the sky all afternoon), to ensure that each demo happened at opposite ends of town.

Thousands turn out against EDL in Cambridge. Part 1

12-07-2011 19:31

Last Saturday (July 9th, 2011), the people of Cambridge voted en masse with their feet and took to the streets in response to their city being paid a visit by the English Defence League (EDL).

The EDL, who despite most of them having commuted into the town for their own demo on the same day, claimed to speak on behalf of the people of Cambridge by raising objections to plans to build a Mosque and Community Centre at the far end of Mill Road, to replace the smaller overcrowded one on Mawson Road.

Free Francis Fernie. Resist political sentencing

12-07-2011 16:48

Last week, a 20 year old man was given twelve months for violent disorder relating to protests on March 26th outside Fortnum and Masons. He threw two placard sticks, neither of which hurt anyone nor were capable of causing harm.

This man, pictured in one of Operation Malone's witch hunts, handed himself in, gave admissions in interview and plead guilty at the first available opportunity. In mitigation his barrister explained he travelled to the demo because felt strongly about the cuts, did a lot of voluntary work and was due to start university in September.

Offmarket: evicted space, project still alive!

12-07-2011 13:55

After a bit more than 3 full on months of activity, the Offmarket squatted social centre on 121 Lower Clapton road was evicted by Bailiffs, police and owners on Thursday 7th July 2011.

The second Offmarket space was opened last April. We had a visit from the owners only 12 hours after moving in. Our first contact was pretty horrible, as all the other times we had to deal with them, ranging from "you scum of the earth" to "you should all be gassed to death"... lovely innit?

Still, in the few months we got out of the space we managed to do some amazing things. Tons of workshops and regular activities, resources that allowed dozens of people to start their own squats, a hugely successful freeshop that ended up being run mostly by locals...

The court case started early and after few postponings, the owners finally got their possession order and they decided to enforce it last thursday. Some of the bailiffs heavies managed to get inside the space early on in the morning but got kicked out. Some more arrived and they finally managed to break it after some efforts. Few people came to support, which was nice given the short notice. WellFurnished crew was very supportive and helpful as well, thanks for the solidarity!

The Offmarket collective will very probably take a well deserved break but will be back soon for a new space! check this space

Protests in Notts Mark 63rd Anniversary of NHS

12-07-2011 08:55

On Tuesday 5th July, the NHS marked its 63rd anniversary. Campaigners in Notts marked the event with a series of protests against the Health and Social Care Bill. On Tuesday there were protests at Bassetlaw Hospital and London Road roundabout, Nottingham. The following Saturday campaigners held a day of action for the NHS which included a trial of Health Secretary Andrew Lansley and visits to Virgin Media, HSBC and Vodafone, all implicated in different ways in the current situation of the NHS.

On the newswire: Virgin: Hands Off Our NHS! | Anti-Privatisation Campaigners Protest Virgin | HSBC occupied to save the NHS | NHS Anniversary Event: BBC roundabout, Nottingham | Campaigners celebrate 63rd Birthday of the NHS | Notts SOS calls for action to save our NHS | Save Our NHS Day of Action: Saturday July 9th

Events included a rally at Speakers’ Corner, Market Square, in which Health Secretary Andrew Lansley was “put on trial” followed by a demonstration outside Virgin Media, part of the Virgin Group, who are well positioned to capitalise on the impacts of the Bill. Meanwhile Notts Uncut demonstrated outside HSBC who have been capitalising on PFI schemes to rip-off the NHS and well-known tax dodgers Vodafone.
