Class War return to Ripper "Museum"

London. Sat 14 Oct 2017



 A police officer tries to get Jane Nicholl to move

 

 People who want to enter the shop are led in by police as protesters shout at them. Some came out later and

 told the protesters that they thought the "museum" was very disappointing in the way it treated the murders

 

 A man who had come out of the museum shouts at the protesters and films them

 London 4th Wave Feminists in cat masks speak at the event

 

 

 

 Police lead another customer into the shop. At least with the protest they get some authentic London experience

 

 The feminists tell something of the story of the victims. Not much is known about some, but they were all women

 struggling to make a living, some with dependents. People from some of their famiies still live in London and

  are disgusted at the displays in the 'museum'. 

 A number of customers were deterred by the protest, and some stopped to talk with protesters about why they

 were there, and on hearing their comments decided to go away. Some are misled by the museum publicity into

 thinking this is a real museum. When told what it really is many lose interest.

 A police officer removes a Class War sticker - and tells protesters that putting them on the glass is "criminal damage"

 though they peel off easily without causing any damage, criminal or otherwise to glass. Courts would probably

 dismiss any charges as petty as the sticker is easily removed without trace - as the officer demonstrates.
