A protest in Gosforth, near the High Street. I was there on Monday and although this car had been moved, it had been replaced by another car parked on the other side of the road. There was a note on the back of the car informing people not to try moving it as the boot was full of concrete.
The board reads:
"TO THE ATTENTION OF THE CHIEF CONSTABLE MR CRAIK
As you still haven't returned the car keys to my car and have no justification what so ever for holding on to them I now want to make a further complaint about Northumbria Police Officers. Not only have they stolen the car keys to my car they have now stolen my protest notice boards. What are they going to steal next, my car? Is this what the new Prime Minister Gordon Brown had in mind when he said he wanted a more open society and to express freedom of speech and the right to have a peaceful protest? You and your officers have acted disgracefully in this matter there is no doubt in my mind that yous have encouraged the courts and the council to be just as childish in your quest to win at any cost. There can be no doubt that you and your force are targetting me and my family. In fact, I would take it a step further by saying this: how do you expect the problem of school bullying when one of the biggest bullies walking are in the police? If the chief would like to challenge me on this subject then be my guest. Don't forget Mr Craik, there is all types of bullying. It wouldn't surprise me one little bit to hear that bullying exists in the police force. Referring back to the theft of my notice boards, which happened on July the 1st 2007, when I challenged your officer why they were stealing my protest notice boards, the male officer replied 'for evidence'. I ask you, Mr Craik, what evidence are you talking about? In any event is there some thing wrong with your CCTV? Did your officers have to steal my protest notice boards? (Protest noticeboard 3, this protest will continue on protest noticeboard 4)"
Protests took place in Rochdale on Saturday 22 July 2017.
The Force worked to ensure the events took place safely and ensuring the right to protest while minimising any disruption to the local community.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, Borough Commander, said: “This has been a challenging day with hundreds of people attending Rochdale town centre for the protest.
“I understand that these events are very emotive and that tensions may run high when there are polarised views and counter-protests.
“However, we have worked jointly with Rochdale Council and the community to ensure the most effective way to facilitate and manage this protest in a balanced and safe manner.
“This has very much been a community focused operation aimed at reducing the impact of the protest on the normal lives of people in Rochdale.
“I would like also like to thank members of the community who have acted as mediators and helped the smooth running of today’s event.
“In order to ensure we could deliver a safe operation we deployed large numbers of police which meant another busy weekend for officers, who have worked long hours in challenging circumstances to look after our communities.
“It was pleasing to see that this protest did not stop the people of Rochdale from going about their normal activities.”

I went downtown planning to just walk around and take a few photos on the mostly empty streets. I knew there were protests, but I didn't realize all this was happening until I got down there. I stayed across the street and far away from them, but I felt I had to document the craziness...

Campaigners converged on Conservative headquarters in protest at remarks by shadow home secretary Chris Grayling, who last week sparked a row when he said people who ran bed and breakfast in their homes should "have the right" to turn away gay couples. During the protest the Conservatives supplied free icecream for the protestors.

Peaceful protesters have ensured that today’s demonstration organised by the Trade Union Congress (TUC) has passed off without any major incidents.
Officers estimate that about 35,000 protesters took to the streets of Manchester city centre, today, Sunday 2 October 2011. No arrests were made.
The event started with a march that left Liverpool Road, and included two ‘feeder marches', organised by separate groups, which left from Oxford Road and Fire Station Square in Salford respectively, and joined the main congregation for the march.
The demonstration then went along Deansgate, John Dalton Street, Princess Street, Portland Street, Oxford Street, Hall Street, Bale Street and then arrived for a rally at No 1 First St.
Assistant Chief Constable Ian Hopkins said: "Organisers of the demonstration made it clear that it was their intention is to demonstrate peacefully, as is their democratic right, and this is exactly what happened.
“We are grateful to those protesters who co-operated fully with the police.
“We are now working hard to ensure that all users of Manchester city centre are able to get back to normal business, albeit while the Conservative Party Annual Conference and its security demands continue.
"We have worked closely with partner agencies, including those who represent local businesses, and we fully understand their desire to ensure that the city can keep moving. I believe we achieved this as far as is reasonably possible today.
“As we estimate that 35,000 people attended, and that their march covered significant parts of the city centre, we did require a significant police presence, in the interests of public safety and protecting the city. A policing presence, albeit scaled down, will remain into the evening.
“We are now focused on delivering the highest standards of security for all involved and affected by the conference, which continues this week.
"Manchester is privileged to host the conference and the event is good for the city.”
