Brighton, UK October 11th Post Game
Peak number:11
Fliers given out: OVAR NINE THOUSAND!
We set up the normal table and anony-flag base and set about giving out fliers and getting our lulz. Music was played, and megaphone lulz were had.
Our resident Scientologist once again refused to talk, even when I was being interviewed by a documentary filmer, which was funny.
We also had some chalk and proceeded to chalk "WARNING: RACIST CULT" on the pavement.
We handed out all our fliers and were preparing to leave, when a pair of coppers came over. Apparently, they had recievced a complaint that the Chalk was "Intimidating, harrasing or distressing" and we where ordered to remove it. Although we had persmission to chalk, and we knew the Scilons were only complaining to get their wins, we felt it wasn't worth arguing over, and washed the chalk away. Then the copper decided that the chalk had been a "breach of the peace" and said, to avoid further "breaches of the peace" he ordered us to move on. Again, we felt this was VERY unfair, and told the copper so. However, seeing as we'd basically already finished the picket, we complied and moved on.
However, one of our number, a chap called helios, was taken aside and spent a long time talking to the police. We asked a copper what was going on. He said he couldn't tell us, but he said there'd been an "aligation" and they were talking about it. We left at this point, so I have no idea how this was resolved or what the aligation against him was. (I will point out however, the whole thing looked rediculous because Helios was wearing a chicken suit!)
Photos hopefully forthcoming.
