Yesterday outside M & S more people turned up to support the picket. We learnt that M & S are planning to get ASBO orders on the picketers and have ASBO incident forms to report back to the police.
Also, the attack on the picket last week is planned again next week (17th July). There was no trouble yesterday but a jewish newspaper says that the attackers were ex-IDF soldiers and is calling for more people to turn up for a "counter-demonstration" against the picket next Saturday. Their intention is to turn up early and prevent the picket setting up.
If there are enough picketers and supporters we might be able to deter this. People came yesterday in various capacities. You don't have to leaflet if you don't want to but you can come as a legal observer or just as moral support.
Please help. We cannot allow people to be driven off the street in an organised campaign orchestrated by a huge business and sanctioned by the city council and the police, no matter what you feel about the M & S boycott.
Thanks.
