Norman Scarth protest Leeds prison and senataph war memorial

We did norman of the scarth family proud the crowd was not too large however it was large enough to get our message out.
Those who could not attend missed a great event, all present expected police in numbers however there were, in total, two police (regular) and four specials. All of whom were informed of our purpose and the peaceful nature of our protest. My hat tip to the police for not being there.

There were many from around our country, we paraded banners kindly created for us, sorry I cannot remember all the names yet in the true nature of the Freeman all was shared, sandwiches were made and transport provided; the free norman bus, big red double decker.

We stood at the side of the road outside the prison and were often 'HOOTED' in support as well as being at the main gate. This part of the protest was pretty quiet but the message was given. I am sure norman was in his element inside his cell.
norman asked us to finalise the protest at the war memorial in Leeds, which we did. We all clamoured on the bus and made our way to the memorial and it was here that much photo and video was taken, we were not quiet and I mean 'we were NOT quiet'. My voice is still a little creaky after shouting to all the passers by. The megaphone was put to good use so all those in the vicinity 'KNEW' just what it was we were campaigning for. Many leaflets were handed out and we played normans speech to great effect through the megaphone.

The camaraderie was awesome and we discussed many subjects throughout the day.

We reached a large audience and put many points across re the corruption of our judicial system - again with relief there was little sign of the boys in blue. I believe because we are known not to be violent and are protesting a cause that is just and proper.

For those that were there well done, for those that could not make it, I am sure there will be ample opportunity in the future and I do believe you wished you could be there. The thought counts as much in my book but it would have been better if you could have got there, you would have had a great time and met some wonderful people.

Namaste, phil;
By the way norman had his pastoral visits denied so I was unable to get a visit. Just another turn of the screw for norman but he is made of stern stuff.
