Nottingham Stop the War Protest demo – War Day One

Just got in from a day of actions and photography around Nottingham.

This morning, folks handed out leaflet, waved banners etc, at many of the main road junctions in town. Traffic chaos ensued, but that that was still much support.

A gathering was getting bigger in the Market Square from early on. Taking piccys for much of the afternoon. Got harrased by a policeman [again:-)] , who reckoned he had a right of privacy. Really! even when stood there, in uniform, in a public place. Anyway continued to record the scene ie, his harasement of a number of people and me. So I set him straight about the law. Silly man !!

Someone had thrown, and painted, red paint all over the Armed Forces Careers Office next to the Victoria Centre. office now shut.

At 5.00pm numbers gathering were vastly increased, few speeches etc. Quite a cross-section of folks there. Gathering on the Square, then suddenly became a march, an off we went, causing more traffic chaos around Nottingham. On getting to the Mansfield Road, in the centre of town, many hundreds sit down.

Have to process film and might get some piccys up of it all soon,
