• NAC demonstrators arrested by police • Anti-Muzorewa demonstrators arrested Photo: LARRY HERMAN by police • Trade Unionists will be next • Unite against the Tories AN EFFIGY of London's police boss David MeNee was burnt by demonstrators in the middle of Sloane Square last Sunday. This was the culmination of three days of cultural/ political events to reaise money for the political prisoners of Southall and demand an end to the police cover-up on Blair Peach. For four hours last Sunday the Royal Court theatre reverberated to the anger of witnesses Southall, playwrights, singers, musicians and socialists. At the end a giant 14ft of McNee was effigy... was lowered onto the stage. It was decided that since the events being depicted had started on the streets, that's where they should end. The audience carried the effigy out onto the streets and burnt it to cinders. When the police and fire brigade arrived the Metropolitan Police Chief was nowhere to be seen.
