Newcastle Office Angels Picket (13/05/11)

Comrades! belting success - dished out 200 leaflets, could have been

local anarchist group attended.
Statement taken from Newcastle Evening Chronicle, fingers crossed..

On the 11/05/11 West Yorkshire Solidarity Federation picketed the Leeds branch of Office Angels. We were joined by Leeds AF. Office Angels locked there doors (maybe thinking we where planning to storm the office) but didn't come out to see what we were doing. We gave out 300 leaflets, getting a good response. Some people came over... to ask for leaflets and at one point the whole of a bus queue outside of Office Angels where reading the leaflet.
