| Quote: | Short notice I know, but Mark Thomas is organising a
demonstration in Parliament Square protesting the requirement
to licence demonstrations. In order to attend you need to
register on Thursday 24th August (tomorrow!) at Charring Cross
police station. Most people are meeting there between 5:30pm
and 6:00pm to hand in their application forms. The
demonstrations (each individual will represent a single
demonstration) will be one week later on the 31st August at
6pm.
This is 100% legal! Any individual can legally demonstrate in
Parliament Square provided they apply for permission 6 days in
advance, which is what we shall be doing. All you have to do is
decide what you're protesting about.
More details here:
http://rachelnorthlondon.blogspot.com/2006...ree-speech.html
Please read that page, it explains everything that you need to
know.
Fill out this form (BLOCK CAPITALS) and bring it with you. http://www.markthomasinfo.com/downloads/do...orm%203175A.doc
Meet on Thursday 24th August outside Charing Cross police station any time between: 5.30pm-6pm to hand in your SOCPA forms. The address is Agar Street, London, WC2N 4JP |
I thought it was quite innovative approach to protesting a ridiculous law,
even if he does snub 9/11 truth. |

Excellent! Wish I could get down in time to join in!!
I find it odd that Mark Thomas snubs the 9/11 movement especially given that he was very outspoken with the whole Shayler/Gadafi scenario. I wonder what is going through his mind with it all - its a shame his show is not still running on channel4. Oh well....

I have been getting involved in these and took down a 9/11 placard to the last demo and will be applying for my license again tonight.
I don't know Mark's personal views on 9/11 but I would seriously doubt he would publicly say anything until the cracks in the dam get a bit bigger. He makes his career through the media and does a lot of good in various areas and if he did suddenly go public with this then he would stand to have his career badly damaged. This is where we come in, if we can raise awareness to a decent level then I'm sure the likes of Mark Thomas and Rob Newman may come on board.

Don't worry, I am covering this. I did this last month and my 9/11 banner even got a slight mention on indymedia. Last night there was a huge increase in numbers, with over a hundred people turning up(it was in the Guardian, hence the numbers) and even BBC and ITV news interviewing Mark. There were a few familiar faces there from the London meetings.
The demo is next week where I will certainly be flyering. If anyone else wants to get invloved, as there will I'm sure be a TV presence there next week that we could get on, then fill out a SOCPA form today and get it to your local police station. You need to provide 6 days notice so today is your last day to hand in a form.
Cheers
Andy
