Why its crucial, more than ever before, that we get you all out on the street!!!

"Many of you have contacted us asking what the purpose of the next demo is, I would ask you all to spare two minutes to read this missive.

The way forward has become all too clear – Westminster have chosen to ignore us, especially when we spoke of the "rising tide of resentment". Well, that tide has become a tsunami, and as far as many influential people are concerned, we have only now proved that we have an "army" to be reckoned with!

So, now we can ignore Westminster, and we are going to use our army to…..

"LAY SIEGE TO LONDON"

….well Westminster really, but the notion is better when we call it "London". And by presenting this totally outrageous "notion" i.e that in the year 2009, a group could lay siege to the biggest Capital City in Europe, all the more respect will be derived when we do.

Monday, May 11th 2009 [FULL DETAILS] will be the first in a series of demos that, with Police backing, are going to do a slow ride around WCC bringing any 4-wheel transport therein to a standstill.

Now, I know a lot of you out there are "uncomfortable" with the idea of upsetting other road-users, but you must realise that, quite simply, we have to make a point and will unfortunately have to inconvenience people, it is only then will they realise that the root cause falls at WCC’s door. The Cabbies do it; the tube-drivers do it – why? because they know the longer they hold out, the more nervous the Authorities get because they know that the initial public outcry against the strikers will soon turn to anger against the "oppressing" authority.

However, unlike others, we are going all out to "advise" Londoners to STAY AWAY if they don’t want to be caught up. The advantage of this is that it gives us to form of promoting our cause. One encourages would be supporters to join, whilst an equally powerful simultaneous message tell others to stay away. Both messages will invoke thought and curiosity in equal measure.

Believe me when I say, the more we do these sorts of demos, the more WCC get very nervous, because they know that, once we have taken the flak from the "inconvenienced" public, that same public will eventually turn on WCC and demand that they concede to our demands – and that is simple – SCRAP THE TAX, nothing else.

People keep telling us we should be "saying this" and "presenting that", but what they don’t seem to realise is that there is no-one to say it, or present it to!!! WCC don’t want to know, and there isn’t a Court that rules on such matters. To coin a modern phrase, our only chance is in the "Court of Public Opinion" which is having more and more teeth these days.

As I say, we are an army, and they will have to listen to us – period. To achieve this, we need to get everybody back out on the street so that our credibility is confirmed, and that when we say that we are "laying siege" to the biggest Capital City in Europe, we prove that we can do it.

Spread the word and lets swell our ranks. Every time we do a demo, we empower more people by shaking them out of their reverie of apathy and feelings of impotence, and give them the cause by which they can be heard. Together we will crush this tax.

See you on the 11th May!

Best

Warren"
