Today there was a very successful protest in Newcastle against the cuts, called by Students Against Cuts and supported by hundreds of people who picketed banks, tax dodgers and shops supporting the cuts. Despite the protest being peaceful the police arrested two participants, Patrick Reay and Mark Pearson. A picket of the police station has been held and we urge everyone to phone the police to demand the protesters are released. Call 03456043043 and ask to be put through to the custody sergeant at Etal Lane Police Station.
Pass this on.

The police will always arrest anyone standing in the way of big business, power and authority. We must stand together and united, whatever particular method you are using at the moment. After all, your tactics will change, depending on the situation, the need, your politics, the level of oppression, your frustration, and your solidarity with others.

Idleness will get you knowwhere. I'm doin alright. I hav my own business. If you dont like what life chucks at you, deal with it. Stop rebelling and get therapy for anger management instead. Nobody owes you a living.
