We have a rat of a city ambassador in the town who was overheard, after trying to shut down a Palestine solidarity stall, talking to police and moaning that we should not have any rights! Today he came by and took a photo of our DAWS stall at the Wellgate Job Centre/ burroo. Within minutes we had a shopping mall security guard down telling us to take our posters of the burroo outside walls. We protested verbally that we had been campaigning for months with no problems. He left us alone but minutes later a cop car sat and checked out the protest. Then we joined the Emergency Protest on Gaza just round the corner and soon we had the 'nice, friendly' liaison police on us. We are most of us all well brought up and difficult to ignore a cheery hiya from a cop but remember this, in a few seconds he could be pushing your face into the pavement and literally trampling all over your rights- our rights! If they are nice cops they really ought to blow the police issued whistle on their bullying, murdering, framing colleagues and handing in the resignation letter. Remember Hillsborough, Remember Mark Duggan, Remember the families fighting for justice for the thousand dead in police custody and not a copper behind bars!
