    important advice: if you carry an umbrella, you may be mistaken as a ’ringleader’

    Lawyers claim they have received no evidence that any of the 30 still facing prosecution were in any sense “organisers” of the UK Uncut occupation of the luxury department store on 26 March, which coincided with the TUC anti-cuts march in London. The group says it has no central leadership

    The Observer has learned the details of the cases assembled by prosecutors against the activists, including the sometimes bizarre grounds selected for identifying the supposed organisers of the protest. A 24-year-old man is facing trial on the basis that “he entered the store with a placard”. Lawyers from Hodge Jones & Allen, who are also representing the protesters, say no information has been provided relating to when he acquired the placard or even what it stated.

    Others charged include a 23-year-old woman, who “unfurled a notice on the stairwell” of the store. Another protester is facing prosecution “due to her placing leaflets on displays”. A third is referred to in the documents as “carrying an umbrella into the store”. One 22-year-old participant is accused of carrying UK Uncut cordon tape and more than 50 printed signs stating: “Big society, revenue and customs: if they won’t chase them, we will.”
