Are you going on the “Hate March”? (11/11/23) - Poll

[Plumdaff]

I booked in an overtime shift months ago but otherwise I'd be there (@the Cardiff one, which is also not going past the war memorial here. Hateful bastards)

 

[pbsmooth]

Southwark, Waterloo, Bermondsey and London Bridge are all on the Jubilee like. As is Wembley and the O2.

? you've lost me. I was talking about stations by the US Embassy

 

[Fozzie Bear]

I will be there. With love and hate in my heart.

 

[Fozzie Bear]

A mate from Hackney has organised a meet up. Message me if you fancy that.

Ah right. You must have missed this post then:

It's on the south bank now. Surrounded by a huge fuck off moat. It's basically a fort in central London.

Ah democracy.

Bear in mind the closure of several tube lines until 15.00..

District: Saturday, November 11, until 1500, no service on the entire line. Replacement buses operate.

Hammersmith and City: Saturday, November 11, until 1500, no service on the entire line. Replacement buses operate.

Jubilee: Saturday, November 11, until 1500, no service on the entire line. Replacement buses operate on the Finchley Road to Wembley Park, and North Greenwich to Stratford sections only.

London Overground: On Saturday, November 11 and Sunday, November 12, a reduced service will operate between Kilburn High Road and Euston

Metropolitan: Saturday, November 11, until 1500, no service between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Aldgate.

I am hoping that there will be opportunities for topical sightseeing and socialising for all those people in central London after or during the march too.

 

[Cloo]

I so wanted to be there after Cruella's bullshit but rehearsing for a concert in the evening. My husband will be there though.

 

[hash tag]

I think there's four, maybe six, stations within a short walk. depending on your definition of short. so could be worse. probably still better than getting home from the O2 or Wembley.

Depends of definition of a walk.
For main line, there is battersea Park, Queenstown Road, Vauxhall, Clapham Junction. I would also be happy walking to either Victoria or Waterloo.
Tube; Power Station, Nine Elms, Vauxhall, Pimlico.
Then there are a few buses; 344 will take you past both London Bridge and Liverpool St.

Forget the power station. This is right opposite The Duchess Belle | Belle Pubs & Restaurants

 

[MickiQ]

Mrs Q and I are in London over the weekend but not attending the Hate March no.
From a purely selfish point of view I would have preferred this, the Armstice ceremony and the tube upgrade to be cancelled but alas this did not happen so we will have to see if any of it gets under our feet.
London is a big place after all.
I will report back on Monday when we get home as to what we see and how it affects us.

That's about helicopters.

 

[surreybrowncap]

Also Vauxhall Bus Station..

not tomorrow it won't. buses are always fucked round large demos, big diversions, delays etc

 

[YouSir]

Decision made, won't be making it this time round, bills come first. Do know a lot of people who are going though, including a lot of people who aren't particularly active usually. Sure, some of them haven't been out of any kind of protest since the Iraq War but this moment - and Braverman's bullshit - seems to have created something far bigger than it might have been otherwise. How much any protest moves the dial is questionable but if they actually do break a million then that's not nothing.

This does not surprise me, but, I've just looked at TFl and find no mention of any changes to the 344 tomorrow

 

[pbsmooth]

Ah right. You must have missed this post then:

I think you're at cross purposes. we're talking about where the march ends, which is the US Embassy by Battersea Power Station.

yeh well don't blame me for tfl's inability to issue status alerts for the effects of demonstrations

Unless you are responsible for updating their status alerts, I will not be blaming you.

 

[chilango]

If I was around I'd go. Kinda feel bad that I can't.

The Embassy is best avoided

[scifisam]

No, I’m not physically capable of attending marches. But I do call for a ceasefire.

Same. It's quite frustrating really. As ineffective as marches in actually effecting change, they do at least make it loud and clear that lots of people want it.

 

[nagapie]

Yes

 

[newbie]

I went a a BLM march down there and came back saying never again. Once you're onto Nine Elms Lane there is essentially no way out. What is labelled 'Thames City' on that map still looks something like this, or did when I was last there.

Behind those trees is the river. Behind the buildings to the left is a railway embankment.

The met will have detailed plans for how to manage and control crowds. Unlike the West End there is nowhere to scatter if something kicks off. A big fat cordon at each end becomes a giant kettle.


I wouldn't personally organise a big march to go there, I really hope those who have know what they're doing..

I'm intending to go on the march, but I'm quite likely to not go beyond Vauxhall.

 

[tony.c]

Southwark, Waterloo, Bermondsey and London Bridge are all on the Jubilee like. As is Wembley and the O2.

Jubilee Line is closed for engineering work tomorrow until 3pm. Probably open by the time march gets to Nine Elms.

 

[quimcunx]

I'm going. I hope the police behave to spite cruella.

Not really looking forward to it tbh. Last palestine one I went on years ago the police charged us after we were already quite crushed and I was quite concerned about losing my footing and getting trampled.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Going past SIS I see

Meeting up with daughter and grandkids travelling from Norwich. Not exactly thrilled to be going (old, dodgy feet) but even so...
