After an ethusiastic action supporting the campaign to keep Mill Road Tesco free involving postering, street petitioning, door to door leafleting and visiting local shops ( see https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/cambridge/2007/09/381829.html ) Libra Aries has suffered a retaliation, presumably in an attempt to intimidate local traders from getting involved in the campaign to protect their own livelihoods.
Local residents immediately rallied round and cleaned off the graffitti and the net result is that there is even more determination to ensure the Tesco blight does not infect this part of town.
Meeting details:
Thursday 27th Sept: 7 pm: Libra Aries bookshop (9 The Broadway, Mill Road)

What we do know is that
i) this shop has never been graffittied before in all the years its been there under current ownership
ii) it occurred on the same day that there was a very lively day of action advertising this as a meeting venue
iii) posters for the meeting were torn down on the same night just up the road from libra aries
iv) the graffitti made it clear it was this shop that was being deliberately targetted (no other shop was graffittied that night)
v) on 'we're all neighbours' there were abusive comments about this shop's involvement with the campaign specifically - that day
There is lots of circumstantial evidence - people can draw their own conclusions.
