Thanks Leighton for passing this one on..
“The last simultaneous “lone” demo 2006 is on December 20 in Parliament Square ..permission from the police should have been applied for by the 14th” (which probably means all the procrastinators are “out”!) “As Rachel says, “The idea of the Simulataneous Lone Mass demonstrations is that you draw attention to the stupidity of the Serious Organised Crime & Police Act laws which prohibit peaceful mass demos outside Parliament without permission. By applying to protest as an individual about anything you like - silly or serious - and doing so, as a lone individual - together - simulataneously - with other lone protesters - and by applying en masse to protest as individuals - you draw attention to the crapness of the law. Whilst obeying the letter of it.”
