Who Killed Blair Peach?

About Us

About the campaign

Defend the Right to Protest was launched in response to violent police tactics and arrests at the student protests of November and December 2010, with the support of activists, MPs, trade unionists, student groups and others. We campaign against police brutality, kettling and the use of violence against those who have a right to protest. We campaign to defend all those protestors who have been arrested, bailed or charged and are fighting to clear their names.

G8: Protesting against muslims and protesting against hedge funds invites a different response from the police

Jun 12, 2021 ~ 4 Comments ~ Written by admin

by John Sinha  Tuesday’s raid on the convergence space in Soho is not without precedent. Those of us who were at the G20 protest in 2009, which led to led to the death of Ian Thomlinson by riot police, will recognise a familiar pattern. The police obtain a search warrant from compliant magistrates under the pretext of searching for “illegal weapons”, or criminal suspects.

In both cases the search proves fruitless, but in any case the police have gained possession of the building, and protestors have been arrested and taken out of action through the pre-emptive arrest and the imposition of bail conditions, which forbid participation in future protests. Such tactics are designed to intimidate and frustrate protest and protestors. These tactics are invariably used against anti-capitalist protestors. The implicit assumption being that protesting against capitalism must be a criminal - or a potentially criminal, activity. The full weight of public order legislation and anti-terror legislation introduced since the miner’s strike, the poll tax protests and 7/7 is brought down on such protestors. The blatantly political nature of this “total policing” became even more apparent in the attempts to snatch the flags and banners of those marching through the streets of the West End on Tuesday.

Contrast this with the license afforded to the EDL by the police on 27th May. The EDL were allowed their drunken rampage through Leicester Square throwing bottles at passers-by with not a single arrest. It appears that the police desire to protect the “rights” of the EDL to protest against Muslims, but to deny the rights of those who choose a more deserving target such as the hedge funds of Mayfair.

    We are in a country where it is now bordering on a Police state and a corrupt Government who are virtually abolishing the rights of not only the Unemployed or disabled,but everyday people who try any sort of protest.

    This Government and the last Government take our public money to bail out the Banks and we still see the massive bonuses given to the managers etc.Not one banker has been sent to prison.

    Crazy as he may seem, take the shape shifting Lizards out of the story and David Icke has been proven right again and again in just about everything he has said.

    Its only a matter of time before the NHS is Totally privatised so pity the sick.
    Disabled people are now deemed fit to work.Unemployed people are getting benefits stopped,foodbanks appearing all over the country.WTF is GOING ON?

    William Hague said the other day that the LAW is for the poor.

    If you are rich money can buy the LAW.

    We need to get this Government out now but the only problem is the other lot are just as bad.This is not a democracy!!!!

    They WILL NOT LISTEN to anyone.

    Only a mass demonstration of which we have not seen the like or General Strike will make the politicians take notice.

    All World governments are stepping over the red line, it’s got to STOP

    Accounting For War: Press Conference 23rd April 2013

    http://youtu.be/4MeUyUR8rE0

    There comes a time when women and men must align themselves to correct action and moral fortitude and persistence for truth & justice.

    Calling on all who are of conscience to enforce the law.
    Murder is always a crime, and the murder of children is the most heinous of crimes.
    The message is to stop violence not to promote it.

    It has been decided that the best way forward is for as many people as possible to copy the message below and print it out in order to hand it to police officers directly. There are 4 pages of text, but it is the first two pages that predominantly need to be given directly to any and all police, when and wherever possible. It would also be of some advantage if crime report numbers could be requested when reporting the crime of murder.

    People of the World unite against tyranny, repression, oppression, corruption and injustice

    Article 21.
    • (3) The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government.. http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml

    http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/index.shtml
    Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
    Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.

    “we don’t have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
    // howard zinn (1922-2010), historian activist

I couldn’t disagree with this more, 1 How are the hedge funds of mayfair more important than the fact that muslims are taking over the country. 2 the EDL are always banned from protesting against extremism and the one case where they were aloud and understandably things got out of hand as they would have been enraged at the fact that muslims are aloud to abuse our soldiers, women, children and law but when anyone makes a stand against a muslim their in the wrong not the religious person. British citizens are now discriminated against as we are the minority in our country now and we have lost our right to protest. Unless you turn up in a burkha in which case you will be aloud to do anything.

    The nazis started by attacking the disabled, the unemployed, immigrants and then people of foreign religion. Their plans have been taken up and continued. Time to stand against is now. Peacefully get involved at all levels start local by attending meetings and raising your voice. And yes, shapeshifting aside everything David Icke said is being proven right.
