Default Brightonfags at the (failed) Co$ bookathon.

Well, I got there late, but NarCONon and two others were hard at work outside the Brighton Co$. But because it was raining, the Scifags had no stools or products out. They watched us for a while through the windows, and sent out the occasional volunteers with clipboards and some forms to try and recruit some people to go indoors and look at their books and stress test stuff. They got two or three people to go indoors, and two bought a copy of Dianetics. One anon managed to get one of the guys to read some of our flyers afterwards, and he looked at the book, then at the flyers, and said he'd read the book with our warnings in mind, and make a decision based on that overall, which is fair enough.
Then we had the occasional chavs laughing (or screaming when they saw our masks) at us, some elderly women glared, and some people talked in loud voices about how ridiculous it all is, but we gave out quite a lot of flyers and attracted more attention than the Scifags, in any case.
Plus, some Scifags (we assume it was them) made a fake call to the Police saying that we were being aggressive, but fortunately two Policemen had been watching us from time to time and they could see that we were peaceful, so he said he'd leave it be, which was pretty good.
We packed up at 4 and went for a drink, and as some of us walked back through town the Scifags were nowhere to be seen.
So yeah. I guess that's a win for Anonymous.

Part of Scifaggotry seems to be making fake claims of aggression about protesters. Please bring a camera to keep safe.

Other than that, awesome.

I got a few photos of today's miniraid,will post later.Pretty much as reported by AnonymousIsLegion.
Public were supportive and amused.One guy gave us a tenner,saying he couldn't protest with us but he supported us and we should buy ourselves a drink.The money will go on flyers.
Not a bad day all in all,unless you are a Scilon,of course.

Apparently Aesop is out-tech.

On second thought, they seem to know about the wolf in sheep's clothing...

This is one of the things that will just get better and better the longer we do this, like compounding interest. April's Atlanta showing was proof enough of this. I can imagine the phone conversation in April:

"Lady, we are not sending the SWAT team out for, at worst, a couple of noise complaints. We'll send a few squad cars. Maybe."

I hope eventually they won't even respond. "If we get one more report about 'anonymous terrorists' we're going to start citing you for wasting our time. A bunch of kids in masks is not terrorism, we've got real crime to deal with you pussies."

Great job, Brighton Anons! And, we're starting to get tangible support: media, money from passersby. People are waking up, speaking up, and ponying up!

Except for the pansy Scions, who have been taking to hiding in corners lately as L Ron weeps.

One thing I didn't mention - Southern FM were in town today with some mics and cameras, but they stayed away from us. And since I got told off for standing a few inches to the wrong side of one of the poles marking the square I didn't approach them at all. We got a few funny looks from them though. I doubt they would be willing to show support for us, lest the $cifags attack them too.

Do the police keep records of all the fake calls they recieve?
What if we could tally the fake police calls that CoS has made..? That would be amazing :D

The set script for responding to pickets includes phoning the police and being at cause over them by making them attend. If they decline then staff must tell lies until they do. Getting other staff to phone in pretending to be local residents disturbed by the noise is a favorite.

Photographs are then taken of the police talking to the picketers and to staff and sent to Los Angeles, where they are filed as 'police tell hate marchers to stop harassing parishioners' and 'Scientology staff confer with police about hate marchers'.

OSA is unreasonable about this. They don't care about annoying the police, they must have those photos in case DM asks for the file.

Anyway, good work guys.
