Class War Video

Vipassana | 05.11.2007 12:30 | Social Struggles | Workers' Movements | London

Here's a short video of the CLASSWAR demo, where approx fifty protesters were pushed around by 500 police, in a protest to highlight the ever increasing gap between the rich and the poor and the outrage at gentrification pushing us out of our working class areas to make way for new crappy yuppie luxury flats.

The Class War demo met in the middle of the market in portabella road, which made it difficult for the police to control at first, but they soon started hassling people with banners and arresting people for anything they could pin on them such as swearing or sitting down.
Pretty poor turn out on the Anarchist frontline if yesterdays numbers represent the amount of working class people politically awake and active in London, then it shows we've still got alot of work to do in building a strong grassroots movement, we need to be on the council estates organising film screenings and opening up discussions on common issues that relate to all of us, Class War hold meetings on the first Mon of every month email them for more details.....
