Boycott Moda Show Brick Lane : They sell fur and cause a nuisance to neighbours

Wonderful stuff!

Why just pick on them, there are quite a few fur outlets in Brick Land and there are several fur stalls in spitalfields market as well............

Get rid.....

@Matthew:

It's quite common for campaigns to pick a representative target to focus on rather than spreading the campaign thinly over all possible targets.

But since you're offering, what are the details (address, phone number) of the fur outlets in Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market?

Telephone number for Moda Show seems to be 020 7739 5010 in case anyone wants to give them a polite ring to complain about them selling fur.

During protests an array of odd characters parade up and down and pose for photos with anti fur protesters while wearing fur coats. One guy, wearing a very expensive looking fur and a filthy jumper, tatty trainers and old jeans walked up and down very slowly, while eying protesters.

Several women who looked like, ahem, ladies of the night sidled up to protesters while wearing skimpy clothes, puss boots and furs posed for photos with protesters and then jeered after parading past the protesters several times. One walked around and around protesters while her mate mocked the protesters. There were few of these and while unfortunately it is common to see people in fur on Brick Lane this was obvious and deliberate provocation.

The funniest guy was the chump who tried to threaten us claiming "there's a few of us now" and "we wanna have a chat with you after the demo in my living room".

All very dodgy indeed.

Undeterred by these weirdos and the knobhead and their attempts to bully, harrass and provoke protesters on behalf of Moda Show,the anti fur group carried on and quite clearly are having an effect on fur shop Moda Show.

The wearing of fur and provoking anti fur campaigners is something that Harrods have also employed. Harrods also asked a plant to tell protesters "Our vet is refusing to give the Harrods petshop animals free vet checks while you protest so you must leave, " which is one of the more bizarre ploys used by animal abusers.

Moda Show have boasted that they can get "any fur, from any animal" which is worrying and possibly something for the Wildlife Crimes Unit to look into.

Sorry for the delay. At spitalfields they don't have phone numbers, as they are market stalls, but if you go to the market on a Sunday and look at the stalls by a cafe called "the Daily Grind" you really can't miss them.

They actually have "real fur" signs up next to the stalls.

Good luck.

Poor Ollie

that we decided to "pick on" Moda Show is because they are representative of the shops on Brick Lane and the surrounding area. Near to the junction with Bethnal Green Road, it's a busy and visual place to stand, we needed somewhere to stand on Brick Lane to demo (yes, there are a lot of shops in the area that sell fur!).

We also hand out general anti-fur leaflets and will ask people to "Boycott any shops like Moda Show that continue to sell real fur". They were a good target because, when the campaign started in October 2008, their entire display in their window was fur, fur, fur. A really good place to demonstrate.

I wasn't there on the day this letter was written. I'd like to know more about it.

It must be terribly dreadful to live above this awful shop.

We have found the one at a time approach to fur shops works more effectively than campaigning on a wider scale.
This tactic has worked well for years and the fur industry is not so widespread in this country as it is in lots of countries in europe because of this tactic and also the successful banning of the production of fur in the UK because of the cruelty involved.

Please can you ensure this article is removed ASAP.

I have asked you previously to remove the article and would like this addressed at your earliest convenience.

I am Ollie Emery, the suggested author of this letter and previous resident of 220A Brick Lane. I DID NOT write this letter and actually was PRO the shop selling fur and wrote to the council and police to press charges against the protesters themselves. This fake letter is clearly a response to that and I would like it removed.

If you do not remove it then I will seek further advice on the matter.

Kind Regards,

Ollie Emery
