Bringing it all Back Home (Sheffield Student Demo)

http://underclassrising.net | 30.11.2010 17:40 | Sheffield

.....





















Last week a comment was placed that underclassrising was just one or even two and that we are not a movement.. they're right in one regard, we are not a movement but a collective.. Due to work commitments these words are not from our wordsmith.. Our replacement had to also work (such is life: children to feed and think of their future)..

South Yorkshire Police said its Chief Constable Meredydd Hughes had signed an order under Section 14 of the Public Order Act 1986 to "allow peaceful protest but minimise disruption to local people".

So, today I was on my own taking images, and I end up writing a report. Bringing it all Back Home is a plug for Dylan and one of my haunts back in the 1980s: a shop on Glossop Road Sheffield with a coffee shop upstairs and this is where we would all go when we had done with our protest.

The numbers had dissipated, it was cold and there was snow on the ground but, in their wisdom, South Yorkshire Police had placed a section 14 on the action. So, with that in mind, we played them at their game and followed the route, through Broomhill and pass School Children cheering and clapping us, drivers beeping their horns.

Supt Martin Scothern said: "The planned protest site does not lend itself to large-scale assembly and immediately adjacent to the constituency offices are business premises and a children's nursery.

"This gives grounds for fearing that the rights of those not involved in protest would be disproportionately affected if South Yorkshire Police allowed protest to go ahead, unconstrained by limitations as to the location or size of assembly."

Mr Scothern added: "One hundred people is still a sizeable demonstration, we are not trying to restrict people's right to protest."

Student Max Brophy criticised the action.

He said: "So far in Sheffield all student protests have been peaceful and have gone very well.

"What they are doing now is restricting students' right to protest and expecting them to be happy about that."

Onwards, we march in the snow towards Nether Green and the office of Nick 'TWAT' Clegg, pass people at bus stops clapping us, old folk outside, yes, clapping us. The march passed very cold and pissed off lines of police on the road where Nick Clegg did live, his house went up for sale a long time back, did anyone tell them this?

The demonstration took place on a road 40m (130ft) from the office and was limited to 100 protesters.About 30 officers stood between the crowd and the office and dozens more police were in reserve in surrounding streets, some carrying riot gear.
Lines of riot vans parked, FIT hanging from lamp-posts, the Police, looking cold and pissed off, we got to Nick Clegg's office, and in basic we had another hour left of designated protest. Some of us left early, and word has it the Arts Tower library has been occupied, indeed Bringing it all Back Home, less numbers than last week but non the less, still an inspiration.. Look at the images of the Police all shivering and cold. That alone made our day. Last word: we are a collective that is part of a movement, no the other way round. There are no leaders for the free..

Love, Peace, Rage and of course Anarchy:

PS. We know the Police look here, ta for the feed back on our work..
