Strawberry unFair, Saturday 5th June

[CambsClassWar]

This Saturday we will be resisting the local plods effort to stop the annual free association of people on common land.

The Strawberry Fair is one of the very last free festivals, which has now been undermined by undemocratic, authoritarian forces known as 'Cambridgeshire Constabulary'.

The license for this year's event was granted by our elected council.

The police's job is to uphold the law not to dictate by their own ideology.

A pirate radio station will be broadcast on the day on 88FM to bring people together on the day.Below is an open letter to the police.

Dear Cambridgeshire Police,

It has come to our attention that your group known as 'Cambridgeshire Constabulary' are planning an assembly on 5th June 2010 at Midsummer Common, Cambridge. As Cambridge citizens it is our responsibility to ensure that our common is a safe environment where we are free to go about our business without harassment and violence.

We respect your group's right to freedom of expression and assembly however this must be balanced with the rights of the users of the common.

In the past members of 'Cambridgeshire Constabulary' and affiliated groups including the extremist gang known as 'NETCU' have been responsible for crimes and anti-social behaviour ranging from harassment to assault. We wish to ensure that this is not repeated while respecting your right to voice an opinion.

We wish to inform you that as Cambridge citizens we will not tolerate any criminality or anti-social behaviour from you or your affiliates. Additionally we would like you to pay our un-policing costs needed to ensure your event is properly facilitated.

Regards,

Cambridge Citizens
