The Gloucester Arms on Leighton Road in Kentish Town has been subjected to protests by anti racists following the landlord, John Coyne's decision to let organised racists hold meetings in the pub. There will be a week of email and telephone action on the week of 25th - 29th Jan asking that Camden council remove the pub's licence especially as they play hardore porn in front of kids.
The far right group Jobbik Party, part of a racist group "The Alliance of Nationalist Movements" drafted by the BNPs Nick Griffin, have been holding meetings in the pub. The pub's walls were recently daubed with Close BNP Pub and local people are sick of the loud music being played at full volume all night and hardcore porn dvds being played in front of children in the bar.
During protests held by Camden Anarchists and covered by the Camden New Journal the lanflord John Coyne came out and told them to "go whistle" before allowing the meeting to go ahead. The landlord is believed to have links to racist right wing groups formed in Ulster.
Contact Camden Council and ask that they remove the pub's license.

Ask Camden Council to revoke the pub's license.
The man who bought the pub is a right wing Ulster Loyalist who knowingly and deliberately bought an IRA pub ...and is therefore clearly a lunatic...tread carefully.
The link between the UDA / UFF / UVF and Britsh far right groups goes back 80 years...the porn and letting people into the pub is bad enough but the political situation is a dangerous one and is even moree reason for the council to revoke the license for the safety and peace of mind of residents living nearby. ....We must ask WHY did the Camden council let him have a license in the first place? The head of Camden's licensing department should be sacked.
