I'm not quite sure what's being planned at the moment for May 1st though a few ideas have been floated that I've heard of (mentioned at the anti-SOCPA Parliament Sq Picnic). Try asking on peopleincommon@lists.riseup.net , someone who has been involved in planning might be able to give you some more info. Hopstubbe - I think this is a big deal, the current governments erosion of our civil liberties is shocking. I believe we have a right to protest (peacefully) when and where we want, I also believe that the government should work for us not the other way around. As for ID cards were are currently wasting hundreds of millions of pounds just preparing for them, don't you think that is a waist of money! Also If you let ID card become compulsorily and then refuse you end up breaking the law and risk fines, prison and restriction of access to services & transportation. Better to nip it in the bud as early as possible. This protest as I understand it is to surround the no protest zone, which is completely legal but the problem is that we need another 5000 people. Brining in other organisations could well make this workable. Being pro active does not mean being violent. Dear Grant, Indeed you evidently do have a right to protest. Erosion, however is a process not a decision and we ought not to be shocked if people see 'erosion/eroding' occurring. However, being told not to protest (by a law)
