Fitwatch tactics have the cops on the run!
Wednesday 4th June, Brighton. The Carnival Against the Arms Trade, tying in with the smashEDO campaign, saw a turnout of some 600-odd people assembling at The Level in Brighton then marching on the EDO offices where a Noise Demonstration was staged.
One of the interesting sights was of the number of folk who’ve clearly taken the fitwatch approach to heart and were doing their best to prevent police FIT and local intelligence-gatherers from photographing the protesters.
It seemed that no sooner did the camera-wielding cops focus their lenses than fitwatchers appeared as if from nowhere, photographing in turn, holding up banners in front of the cop cameras, and generally making their presence felt.
The constantly repeated sight of cops running away in an effort to seek new vantage points from which to snap their pics was truly inspirational.
Well done fitwatchers!
