Pride regains its radical purpose
Small band of activists injects politics back into parade
A GROUP of LGBT rights activists broke through security lines during the weekend’s Pride march to chase a Ukip contingent off the parade and reclaim the rally from corporate sponsors.
As the march reached Oxford Circus on Saturday afternoon, a dozen people holding a black coffin ran past guards and solemnly walked in front of tax-dodging Pride patron Barclays.
According to RIP Pride Funeral organisers, several of London Pride’s stewards rushed to remove the protesters from the parade.
