The Time is Now
On the Eleventh Day of Every Month
We Unite in Action for Truth until Justice
Join London Truth Action this February 11th outside BBC Television Centre. If you can please bring chalk as we intend to cover the entire pavement outside the BBC with 'Investigate 9/11' messages
This action starts at 11am and finishes around 7pm. We'll head off for refreshments and food afterwards.

Thanks for the email address Tony.
I've tried contacting them a number of times through the phone number provided on the website link but no response to the calls or the voice messages I left.
It appears as though it did not go ahead. Yet it says seven people attended.
Our movement lacks the ability to take direct action and attract MSM attention. We are unable to reach 'the masses'. "Fathers For Justice" keeps their agenda in the headlines via direct action and stunts.

We need to raise our game?
I agree that it ain't what it used to be but any action is better than none.
Seven people all chalking and filming would have been sufficient to cause some ripples and dvd's would have been useful too.
However there was no evidence whatsoever of any action despite the fact that seven people are stated as attending.

After 2 phone calls both unanswered, one voice mail, a text message and an email which I sent a week ago I have not received any reply whatsoever from truthaction.
Are they still going?
Why does the website say 7 attended when no one was at bbc television centre on the day and no sign of any chalk was present any where.
I went to RIBA in the evening (the second part of the 'action' that day) but there was nobody there.
This lack of mobilization and organization is why we need real democracy in our movement. Consensus decision making is the way we need to go. Big Egos/Small Cliques is a disaster. Its a form of fascism. How can we criticise 'the system' if we don;t believe in and practice democracy ourselves?
Here is some info on consensus decision making and social movements:
