Publié le 20 février 2008 par Reclaim Your Food Brixton

We had recycled lot of good vegetable and fruits with some amazing bread.

We met us at the morning for cook, two French people come to joint us. Every thing start realy well.

Then we are cooked : A big vegetable soup, a big salad, bread with oignon farce, mint thea, patatos and papers, several banana cake and one amazing fruite pie. All for free !

                                                    undefined

At the place where we serve the food we organize the stall a bit differente. Finaly we just put the banner more visilible, and start to serve. Everything was okay untill two policeman came.

They start to look at our leaflet, while we explained to them what we doing. Then after they asked to us to pick up our stall away frome the place. We don't understand this spontaneous decision, and we asked why ? So they accused us to serve unsafe food to the people, of not possesion of licence or anyright to use this public space (Public for who ?). They above all accused us to organize gathering in the street, this thing is about this law Anti social behaviour.

Then we refuse and try to explain them we have right to serve free food and the vegan food should be a right for everyone. Exept them of course ! But after several threats of arrestation and the bad treatement frome one of us, we decied to move.
So we had continue the day in a park close to Brixton, we made pic-nic and invited everyone they want, joint us to eat.

For the next RYF, we don't know how will happen but the thing we know, it's we will never stop to do RYF. We will come back every Sunday at the same place without or with police even if they arrest us.

The repression give to us the wings !
