Protesters break through police lines.
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.

Every now and then, the migrant workers down in Immokalee protest Taco Bell and other companies for using produce farmed by people paid below minimum wage. On this day, they were protesting Publix for its farm policies.
The highlights of the protest were college kids in Che Guevara shirts and a protest singer singing protest songs set to Lady Gaga songs.

On July 28, 1917, in New York City, a silent parade was staged in protest of the East St. Louis, Illinois, massacre of July 2, 1917, as well as the recent lynchings in Waco, Texas, and Memphis, Tennessee. The march was organized by the NAACP, churchmen and other civic leaders to protest the violent events against African Americans around the country. The United States had just entered World War I and many were questioning the use of African-American soldiers to fight in a war that President Woodrow Wilson had described as necessary to the survival of democracy abroad, especially at a time when these same men and their families were denied their basic rights here in the United States. President Wilson continually dismissed the requests of African-American leadership to address the problem of lynching and was considered by many to be one of the most racist presidents ever to occupy the White House. The lynching and murdering of blacks was on the rise. And in the wartime climate many African Americans were migrating to the North, both to escape racial oppression in the South and to secure the plentiful jobs in the munitions centers and factories in the Northern urban centers.
The riots in East St. Louis began when whites, angry because African Americans were employed by a factory holding government contracts, went on a rampage. Over $400,000 worth of property was destroyed. At least 40 African Americans were killed. Men, women and children were beaten, stabbed, hanged and burned. Nearly 6,000 African Americans were driven from their homes.
Across the country, people were aghast at the violence. On July 28, 8,000 African Americans, primarily from Harlem, marched silently down Fifth Avenue. They were dressed in their finest clothes and marched to the sound of muffled drums. They carried picket signs while thousands of New Yorkers watched from the sidewalks. The children marched as well as the adults. Some of the banners read: "Mother, do lynchers go to heaven?" "Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?" "Thou shalt not kill." "Pray for the Lady Macbeths of East St. Louis." "Give us a Chance to Live."
The New York Age reported on the march:
They marched without uttering one word or making a single gesticulation and protested in respectful silence against the reign of mob law, segregation, "Jim Crowism" and many other indignities to which the race is unnecessarily subjected in the United States. (1917)
Lynching was never declared a felony by the judicial system of the United States.
The latest Stop the War march. Having initially allegedly banned it, the Metropolitan Police relented, allowing 5000 people to march down Whitehall to Parliament Square.
However upon arriving in the Square the protestors were met with massive limitations - College Green still inexplicably cordoned off, space provided for no more than a couple of hundred and huge numbers of police. The back of the demonstration ended up getting held very tightly together by the police on Whitehall for a very long time as the police struggled to come up with more suitable arrangements. Unsurprisingly when they were finally allowed through, feelings were very high and a sit down protest on the intersection resulted.

On May 23rd, 2019, demonstrators and leafleters gathered at McDonald’s annual shareholders’ meeting to encourage the company to use its power for good and end the horrific cruelty endured by chickens killed for its menu items. This year’s shareholders’ meeting was held inside a hotel at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, and for the first time away from its Illinois headquarters, possibly a reaction from our large protest in Chicago at the same event last year.
With more demonstrators than shareholders on site, McDonald’s should know advocates are committed to ending #McChickenCruelty. Aside from organizing the protest, we also took out full-page newspaper ads in the Dallas Morning News and the Chicago Tribune, as well as commissioned mobile billboards, geo-targeted ads at the entire airport and social media actions.
I took this photo sat down in the middle of a protest in Berlin, was just around the Brandenburg Gate and this protest just happened. Was quite fun, was a really well humored protest. There was a lot of ironic humor about the 1% owning 43% of the wealth.
Advice, try to avoid changing films in the middle of a protest! Its quite stressful!
I stayed until the riot police turned up, (as per usual with these protests). At that point I felt a strong urge not to be kettled so I went. Was fun though!
