London 20th- anyone going?

[Brixton Hatter]

Yeah I'll be there.

But I'm fucked if I'm gonna stand around in Hyde Park and listen to the likes of Milipede bleat on about the Tories, in the full knowledge that Labour will continue most of the shit the Tories are doing/planning.

Yeah, same here, to Hyde Park, then straight to the pub up t'road.

I went in March last year, with the missus & daughter. We are moving house on the 19th though, so not very likely at all that we'll make this one. I have told my sister that she needs to go in my place.

 

[tufty79]

I'll be heading southwards

 

[the button]

I'll be joining the South London feeder march, details here:

.... where there is a block* called by SolFed and supported by the Anarchist Federation:

* Not a black block, before anyone starts

There is also action against businesses using workfare, assembling around Oxford Circus at 2.30, called by Boycott Workfare:

If anyone is going from around Birmingham, there are some free coach seats for unwaged / low paid people: http://birminghamagainstthecuts.wor...ats-available-for-october-20th-demonstration/

I can't make it cos it's supersonic festival but I hope it goes well.

 

[Balbi]

Im in.

 

[kittyP]

Due to on going MH problems I am uncertain about attending. Although I really want to.
I would love to know what else I can do if I cannot march though.

 

[Guineveretoo]

It may have some bearing but the TUC Special Events Organiser who was responsible for the last one in March died quite suddenly, by all accounts he was very good at his job..

Actually, he died before the last one, which was one of the biggest marches ever! But yes, he was very good at his job, and is sorely missed.

 

[Guineveretoo]

The details about the main march are here http://afuturethatworks.org/

There is also a march in Scotland - http://www.stuc.org.uk/20-oct

in support of direct action, self-organisation and solidarity towards a future without work, or at least without work for bosses

in support of a future without work for bosses!

they do far too much as it is - let labour take up the strain!

 

[frogwoman]

me and dotty will probably be coming by coach. these things are normally hectic as fuck so can't promise i'll be able to meet up with anyone

 

[krink]

Not going - I will be trudging aimlessly round my own city centre and then going for a drink at a gig on the evening. this way saves the 600 mile round-trip. have a great day though everyone and I want to see loads of pics and stories if it kicks off!!

 

[nino_savatte]

I'm going. You just try and stop me!

 

[belboid]

The RMT has booked a train from Sheffield (calling at Derby & Leicester) - £10 members, £20 non-members. PM for more details if interested

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Helpfully enough, they seem to have installed some sort of security system called CloudFlare on their site, which claims either I have or somebody on my network has malware so wants me to answer a CAPTCHA. I'm using a big public wifi network, pretty likely somebody else on it has had malware at some point Then, after I enter the CAPTCHA, the "Request Access" button to submit it doesn't work

So if anyone else can't get to the site, that will probably be why. Clearly I can't get in touch to tell them to turn this shit off.

 

[dennisr]

yep, see you there

 

[chilango]

Maybe, but probably not as I'll be looking after my daughter and don't really want to bring her.

 

[dynamicbaddog]

yeah I'll be there -going up with a contingent from Goldsmiths

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I will be there with a small group of like minded people.

 

[Guineveretoo]

I will be there with my union

 

[articul8]

will be there

 

[Smokeandsteam]

I'm in too.

 

[Hocus Eye.]

There is a TUC live app for the demonstration for those with smartphones. http://afuturethatworks.org/october-20-smartphone-app/

 

[Urban-Guerrilla]

Will be there

 

[smokedout]

think I'll be there now

just came out of a meeting where some bloke from a charity warned how important it is to remain peaceful, like the civil rights movements and the South African resistance to apartheid

so thought I'd pass it on

keep it peaceful folks

peaceful like the ANC

 

[FridgeMagnet]

keep it peaceful folks

peaceful like the ANC

And the civil rights movement.

Wow, the Daily Mirror is giving it its full backing and lots of publicity

and yes, I hope its peaceful, let the numbers speak for themselves...

 

[DotCommunist]

Last one all the media wanted to focus on was a few stoved in bank windows, neatly making out a fucking huge march was violent when it was almost entirely peaceful. Standard procedure.

quite, the more people who send a message to this government that no matter what the scum do we will do nothing more than passively march away from parliament to listen to speeches in hyde park the better

let's send a clear and determined message of consent
