Future London protest at SISU HQ? (1 Viewer)

[cornoccfc]

Just thought I'd share this.

Rather randomly, some chap spoke to me at the protests before KO, saying if future protests are planned to approach it rather differently.

Instead of dressing as a football fan (which police etc. immediately assume hooligan), dress as you would to a wedding, all suited up.

Thoughts?

Not sure myself, but I thought it was rather random for a chap to suggest this to me, and he insisted I pass this on to the chaps behind the first SISU HQ protest.

Wouldnt make a difference as instead of people in trackies and trainers shouting 'time to go sisu' 'sisu out' etc, it would just be people in suits doin the same thing :s

They would definitely have got the message after today!

Can understand where he is coming from. Its not exactly practical though. I can't see a lot of people going to that amount of effort.

if sisu start pissing about this week with the bid thats coming their way on monday then we will have to venture back down pretty sharpish.

apparantly hoffs crew will make a formal bid monday.

problem is with no midweek games down there it will be hard to get a load of fans to go down midweek, no good doing it on a saturday as they will be shut!

somebody suggested the day england play wales as some city fans would be making their way down for that game so that could be a possibility, we would need the london supporters out in force also to add to the numbers, want 100 or more next time if we can

i am ready and willing to do whatever it takes to rid us of those parasites...............legally ofcourse

Is the England game on a Saturday tho? As you say pointless if the office is shut. I'd gladly book half a day this week

Protest and police powers

Police have a duty to provide protection and assistance for peaceful protests, but they must balance that with an obligation to preserve the peace, uphold the law and prevent crime. Individual chief police officers decide how to handle each protest in their area.

Violent activity cannot be regarded as a legitimate form of protest, and the police have the legal right to arrest and charge those who commit acts of violence during protests.
Police have many legal powers that can be used to prevent violence or unrest associated with protest. They can, for example, impose limitations on the route of the march, or the location and duration of a rally.
They will only do that in order to prevent:

• riots or other serious public disorder
• damage to property
• serious disruption to the life of the community

Police might also conduct ‘stop and search’ operations around a protest, but they must do so for a specific reason. Because of this, if they stop and search you, they must always specify on what legal grounds they are doing it.

Anti-social behaviour rules and dispersal orders can also be used to break up violent or unlawful protests.

A sit-down protest or a blockade – even a peaceful one – can be stopped if it blocks road traffic or public walkways. Any racist chants or threats of violence – even in an otherwise peaceful protest – are not acceptable, and those involved could be arrested and charged.


That has been taken from the Direct Gov website.

If this were to happen, I recommend someone finds a bit of information about protests and peoples rights. Just so no body does anything stupid as to get everyone involved arrested.
