COME ON CALDER VALLEY: LET'S PROTEST! - Halifax, Saturday 18th Dec.

Let's make it fun and friendly, possibly even with some singing and dancing! Let's
do lots of good-natured mischief.

SO: Lets meet outside HALIFAX BUS STATION at 1.30pm.

Print off flyers/leaflets from http://www.ukuncut.org.uk/resources, and bring lots
of friends and things to make noise with; horns, shakers, vuvuzelas, whistles etc.
Dress as shoppers! It only takes 10-20 people to make a lot of noise!

Small but worth it!

Not a huge turn out (7 to be precise) but we went into Topshop in the Woolshops in Halifax and started to give out leaflets. We were asked to leave, which we did then stood outside and gave out hundreds of leaflets, chatted to people, and even had a bit a of a laugh with some of the security and police. All very good natured!

One security guy tried to persuade us we were trespassing (the Woolshops is privately owned) but one of our number pointed out that as it was a civil trespass they'd need an order from a judge to remove us. Needless to say we stayed put, singing the odd ditty, 'If you want to sell your clothes, pay your tax!' etc, and generally raising awareness for about an hour.

Hoping to do some sale unshopping in the New Year... watch this space!
