Tuesday anti-Bush protest details
Tomorrow's protest is taking place a little earlier than I had realised, due to the schedule of the pre-fundraising dinner cocktail reception.
The easiest thing to do is head for Marylebone Station's front entrance, which happens to be very close to the back entrance of the Landmark Hotel where this dinner is being held. Once there it should become immediately obvious where to go - you will see the crowds and a heavy police presence.
Once there, you should be able to pick out our "Proud of my country, Shamed by my president" placards fairly easily.
The general schedule should go something like this:
4:30PM - Gather for a picket of the event as the guests arrive.
5:30PM - Speeches from group leaders
6:30PM - Protest finishes
I hope all of you can still make it out despite the obvious inconvenience of the time. But we need to show these people that we don't appreciate this event happening here in the slightest.
As before, I think staying out of any trouble that might brew up and generally being respectful would serve all our interests best in the long run.
wish I could be there

Got my sign from November's protest in with me at work today, and permission to bunk off at 4pm! See ya there!
