Group of English Defence League protesters surrounded by police.
Stop the Islamisation of Europe called for a demonstration outside Harrow Mosque in North West London to coincide with evening prayers on Friday September 11th. The protest was also being promoted by the English Defence League who have repeatedly clashed with Muslims and Anti-fascists in recent months. A counter demonstration was called by Unite Against Fascism.
About 1000 counter demonstrators gathered to protect the Mosque during the afternoon. Police ordered Stop the Islamisation of Europe to call of the protest to prevent violence.
A small group (less than 20) of English Defence League protesters were chased from the area by the counter demonstrators and were escorted away by the Police.
Frustrated elements of the crowd then turned on the Police resulting in a few skirmishes with bottles, stones and firecrackers being thrown. Other sections of the protesters eventually restrained these elements and by about 7.30 in the evening the crowd had started to disperse.
There were 10 arrests reported.

The lead-up to Saturdays protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government cant ignore, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.Nationwide day of action against TPPA: “Ignore us at your peril” government warned
“The lead-up to Saturday’s protests against the TPPA shows the commitment of people across the country to send a message that the government can’t ignore”, said ItsOurFuture spokesperson Edward Miller.
A video shows young activists publicising Saturday’s nationwide protests with footage from Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Nelson.
Action in the 22 centres starts at 10am in Raglan and many of the larger centre marches begin at 1pm, including Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch.
“People have been incredibly creative”, Miller said. “In Christchurch a giant plain-packaged cigarette packet will be marching in the crowd, while Auckland will be led by an enormous Trojan Horse, locked in a tug-of-war between major commercial interests and activist communities.”
“Around the country everyday kiwis will be photographed for a virtual campaign with signs saying ‘I am a ___________ and I say #TPPANoDeal.’ Already this campaign has been very popular.”
“Trade minister Tim Groser needs to recognise that people don’t buy the ‘trust me’ line. They want to be listened to when they say they don’t want the TPPA. And they deserve to be listened to.”

May 22nd 2010 - Outside BBC Broadcasting house in London.
My girlfriend and I love BBC 6music. So much so that we went on a 450 mile road trip just to attend a protest outside BBC Broadcasting House in London.
There isn't much time to tell the BBC that the decision to close 6music and The Asian Network is wrong, the consultation ends on the 25th of May. Click here to find out what to do.
“The BBC can’t possibly close 6 Music, what will happen to the best new music and passing on the knowledge of old music? What other station plays bands like The National and then follows it with Curtis Mayfield and then the Beastie Boys? It's just wrong to even consider it, it will make fewer young people want to listen to the radio and therefore less new stuff will happen, sort ya heads out please.”

Thousands of people gathered at Philadelphia City Hall on May 1st to observe International Workers Day.
Some people were just there to listen to Democratic Party leader Bernie Sanders but they also heard "Free Palestine" chants as he spoke and saw Palestine flags from numerous people, including from a loud Revolutionary Mayday Contingent.
After Sanders ended his speech, the remaining Mayday participants -still a thousand strong - took the streets around city hall and down N. Broad Street. The march was led by large contingents of Unite Herre and AFSCME members. The Revolutionary Mayday Contingent was most energetic, growing to well over a hundred people in size as it chanted continuously on Palestine, against capitalism and imperialism and other popular issues.
At N. Broad and Vine St., police blocked the entrances to the Vine St. Expressway, I676, where 75 participants sat down in the middle of the street, in front of a "Workers, not billionaires" banner. The whole group of UAW, Unite Here, a couple City Council members, and other protestors were zip-tied, arrested and taken away by cops.
The Revolutionary Mayday Contingent's flier:
•All workers have a right to organize and a union!
•Migrant workers and refugees are welcome here!
•We condemn US/Israeli Indigenous displacement and genocide in Palestine!
•We oppose white supremacy, national chauvinism, homo/transphobia, misogyny, & ableism.
•We support freedom/self-determination for all oppressed nations & peoples.
•End capitalism. Save the planet!
•Down with U.S. imperialism. No more wars!
•We are revolutionaries fighting for a future with a right to food, housing, healthcare, education, transportation and other necessities of life.
Come join discussions on skill sharing, political education and community building:

Part of Tate Britain's Don McCullin retrospective (February to May 2019)
This exhibition showcases some of the most impactful photographs captured over the last 60 years. It includes many of his iconic war photographs – including images from Vietnam, Northern Ireland and more recently Syria. But it also focuses on the work he did at home in England, recording scenes of poverty and working class life in London’s East End and the industrial north, as well as meditative landscapes of his beloved Somerset, where he lives.
Sir Don McCullin was born in 1935 and grew up in a deprived area of north London. He got his first break when a newspaper published his photograph of friends who were in a local gang. From the 1960s he forged a career as probably the UK’s foremost war photographer, primarily working for the Sunday Times Magazine. His unforgettable and sometimes harrowing images are accompanied in the show with his brutally honest commentaries.
