Scientology Cult Lands in Moseley, Birmingham

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us | 03.04.2008 19:33 | Social Struggles | Birmingham

The Church of Scientology Cult has announced that it's establishing it's second biggest base in the UK in Moseley, South Birmingham. The dangerous cult has bought a huge grade II listed building, Pitmaston House, which is estimated to be worth at least £4.25 million. The former insurance building was listed after a local campaign managed to save the building from developers but now it looks set to turn into a base to recruit people from the local area and to fulfil the claims of it's leader, David Miscavige, that the Church is expanding. The Church of Scientology is no stranger to Moseley, before it opened it's offices in Birmingham city centre, it ran a shop on the Highstreet during the 1970s/80s.

According to an article in Birmingham's Mail  http://www.birminghammail.net/2008/04/03/scientologist-cult-sets-up-hq-in-birmingham-97319-20713379/, local residents are already up in arms about the cult establishing itself in leafy Moseley and are worried that it will 'target young and vulnerable new recruits'. Local people have also shown a keen interest in protesting outside the new headquarters at the junction of Russell Road and Reddings Road:  http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&ll=52.445074,-1.90299&spn=0.001851,0.005735&t=h&z=18&msid=100968359574383677725.0004489f0209bf3e63087

Anonymous, the internet based group protesting against the Church of Scientology, will be holding a peaceful demonstration in Birmingham City Centre at Ethel Street on April 12th as part of Operation Reconnect, a global protest to highlight the Church of Scientology's unethical family separation practice called 'Disconnection'.
