Last weekend five activists carried out a banner drop in front of The Park Inn located in Southend-on-Sea. The team then continued to deliver 1000 leaflets in the surrounding area. During the leafletting the team interacted with many locals, informing them of this betrayal committed by the treacherous Tory government.

This weekend, Patriotic Alternative hosted our 4th annual Summer Camp and Hike at a beautiful location in England. It was fantastic to spend time out in the great outdoors with friends - old and new - for a weekend of camping, hiking, BBQing, live music and games.

Over 160 people attended our camp (including two guests from overseas) and others joined us on the Saturday for the hike. We also had a record-breaking number of young families and children attend. We tried to get everybody in one picture but it was too difficult from the ground, so you'll have to trust us for now and wait until the drone footage arrives. 😉

Due to our growth over the past year, we were also able to carry out the biggest banner drop we've ever done at Patriotic Alternative!

The pictures, videos and vlog are currently in the process of being edited and will be live soon at www.patrioticalternative.org.uk.

Norwich Migrant Hotel Protest

Whilst many of Eastern region's activists were at our 4th annual Summer Camp last weekend, one of our number stayed behind to attend a local protest against the Best Western Brook Hotel in Norwich playing host to illegal migrants.

He spoke to a BBC reporting crew and redirected the conversation away from their pointless questions about "far-right infighting", instead drawing attention to the recent news of a woman in Skegness being attacked by a migrant male a mere few months after Patriotic Alternative protested in the very park in which she was attacked. No doubt the BBC will not be using the footage.

He also spoke with worried parents who came out to see what was going on. Listening to their concerns about everything from the necessity to change the route their children walk home from school, to how the protest could've been much better organised.

Once everyone had one of our leaflets, and as the speakers started to leave and the counter protesters started looking at their phones (no doubt to check when their coaches back to London were going to turn up), our activist - with a renewed appreciation for Patriotic Alternative's ability to organise protests without confusion and without compromise - headed towards the city centre to distribute his remaining leaflets.
