Vodafone visited [yet again] by anti-cuts protest

Saturday  26th February

After the successful occupation of Natwest Bank by people as part of Notts UK Uncut campaign, ultimately forcing it to close early, people moved on to the Vodafone store in Clumber Street, Nottingham.

After the successful occupation of Natwest Bank by people as part of Notts UK Uncut campaign, ultimately forcing it to close early, people moved on to the Vodafone store in Clumber Street, Nottingham.

This was the latest in a series of many such visits, by people wanting to point out that the cuts to public services, stand in starck contrast to the tax evasions of some large corporations.

Staff have become wise to the methods of protestors, and on arriving a few seconds before the demonstators, I saw a 'spotter' stationed near the doorway, and alerting staff to close the shutters, on sighting the first signs of the group.  However, a couple of smartly dress protesters fooled these arrangements, getting in before the shutters closed.  They then exibited signs and slogans in their window, much to the amazement of passers-by.
