Klub Naziya meets horse poo
Your correspondent lives not by this column alone, editor forbid, but entertains to meet ends. One of these divertissements incorporates his crazy pianist and a dwarf.
There is also an improvised movie in rehearsal.
Which found us – aforementioned pianist +1 – off Broadway behind the rears of two fluorovested figures high on horseback, approaching the Humanists’ Hall in Shepherd Street. A steaming heap of equine ordure graced the street behind the mounted officers. I addressed the officers, two rather proper young women astride their nags, calmly observing a situation. I asked one of the policewomen if anyone is assigned to follow them around with big plastic bags.
‘No!’ she laughed. ‘We just leave them there.’
Her colleague added – ‘people love it. They grab it for their gardens.’
‘So you’re doing a public service! Producing a benefit for the community’s gardens!’ I beamed.
But more distracting shit was going down. Some sort of hip-hop street party happening thing seemed to be pumping with an extraordinary number of policemen. Actually, the bunch of gangstarappa styled youths clustered round a 44 gallon drum was not some waycool Bluelight Disco takin’ it to the streets but an anti-Fascist demonstration against “KLUB NAZIYA” meeting at Humanist House [which – to its credit – has open forum Wednesday nights at 8].
Now Klub Naziya is not a gay theme night. Reliable report describes it as ‘a loosely-organised monthly fellowship of angry Aryans’. We are talking neo-Nazis going, allegedly, hogwild at their first monthly meeting in October.
Anyways maybe it was some sort of ill-considered Chaser-style punk/prank, because no neo-Nazis fronted last Friday night. Maybe they’d blown themselves away with Guy Fawkes the night before…
We were left with demonstrators and coppers waiting in a frenzy for neo-Nazis to show.
The point being – how weird is it people bother to bellyache about people riding bikes on our roads?
