Sukey is British organization formed to counteract the police tactics of kettling, by co-ordinating information electronically and transmitting it to the protesters, allowing them to avoid the police kettle. ‘Sukey,’ is British slang for the person who takes the kettle off the stove (which is itself derived from the nursery rhyme: ‘Polly Put the Kettle On.’
The organization was founded by the students Sam Carlisle and Sam Gaus during the occupation by students at University College London. The system was first used for a London demonstration against the proposed abolition of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) on 29 January 2011.
