coffeeandufos:destroyerofprivateschools:kropotkindersurprise:May 13, 2021 - Immigration cops tried to arrest two men in Glasgow, Scotland, on the day of Eid. A huge crowd of locals in the area of Pollokshields, chanting “these are our neighbours, let them go!”, turned up and boxed the police van in for seven hours, withstanding attempts by police to break through the crowd, until the cops were forced to let the two men go. [video]/[article]WHAT A FUCKING RESULT!!!This isn’t even the whole story - it gets so much better.This was not a pre-planned event. The home office just showed up in the morning to take them. A neighbour tweeted asking for help and people mobilised and united entirely on their own. None of these people woke up today knowing this is what they were going to do. That man who was under the van? He layed there for EIGHT HOURS so it couldn’t move. The local mosque opened up and started handing out refreshments to the people protesting:And when the men were finally released (after 9 hours of being the the back of the van) the whole crowd walked them to the mosque so they would be safe:This was the ultimate “fuck you” to the British government. It was an absolutely incredible show of solidarity and what happens when people mobilise. The power of the people is stronger than the people in power. ❤️ -- source link
