activists assembled outside and a an activist went in to hand in a lists of demands
the activist spoke to someone and told to call back in an hour when the boss is out of a meeting
as the activist was leaving she heard the boss announce that they were closing the office and the vouchers were being stopped for the day
when she challenged the decision saying why she the demonstration was not distrupting the office and she was not leaving untill the office was reopend she was then joined by anouther activist and they blockaded the door asking the office to be reopened

it was so pitiful how a 12 person demonstration could intimadate and scare them into close
when the office door was blockaded so they would not shut was brilliant
they closed the office to undirmine the protest wich was on the other side of the road
to try and get an angry responce to the protest
they failed
the police responce was very interdating to send a firearms officer to the scean
they were not bothers once they got us out of the buliding and then buggerd off
demonstrations will continue to happen
police harrasment or not
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER
HOME OFFICE ARE RACISTS
CLOSE DOWN THE ANGLE GROUP
STOP THERE CONTRACT WITH THE HOME OFFICE
