LOCAL PROTESTS ADVICE/SUGGESTIONS
PAGE 1
General
Every or every other Saturday, so public can look forward to your presence. Also stresses permanence of your protests. Any time of the day. For an hour or two (more if you want).
Remember you are there to attract the public’s
attention, not to repel it.
Consult with local police before you go ahead.
Take mobile phones with you.
Best to start with stationary protests – easier to engage public and an opportunity to chat, provide entertainment such as satirical sketches,.music. You can still have
slogans on placards.
Be in a location which has plenty of people around – outside bus station, train station, events space (if town has one), fairly large pedestrian-only areas.
DO NOT CAUSE BLOCKAGES or glue yourself to anything
There will be many more pages as I find time - with resources, and ideas for activities.. eventually will bring all together into an unrolled thread.

OK. I'll start over. The thread below gives you a number of hashtag choices. Please select by liking the one you prefer. There are 5 options.
I'll announce the most popular tomorrow morning Sunday 17th around this time.
1. I need to get a fair amount off my chest.
Remainers tell me: If only we had a leader.
But could ANY 'leader' lead you?
Some want A, others demand B, yet others C and so on down multiple alphabets.
Each is paddling her/his own canoe, and there is no clear route/space for(cont)
2. any winner.
This well suits the Tories.
We need to be logical
Pointless to demand Rejoin now
It wont happen in the here and now
Pointless to demand PR now
It too wont happen in the here and now
GTTO - ok.
How, when they are ahead in the polls,
when half the population
3. have been gaslit?
What would happen if an election were called NOW?
I believe our FIRST priority is to
TURN OFF THE GAS.
I believe ergo that is our FIRST priority.
Get the public
a. to see how they are being abused by this 'govt'.
b. then get them angry
c. then get them
1/3 @EnfieldforEU My aim is twofold 1. wake up the public to the abuse of them by 'govt' 2. disturb/ultimately remove the 'govt'
The more successful we are with the former, the greater our success will be with the latter.
Most of the population dont really care whether we are in
2/3 or out of the EU. They do care tho about tax rises, Covid deaths, food/fuel shortages and price rises, NHS provision.
Atm any detailed explanations as to the benefits of being in the EU will leave most bored to death.
We need to touch emotions, not brain power.
We cannot
3/3 succeed as mere doom-mongerers - so also need a touch of humour. See my tweeted comments today about all this. I do not want these aims of mine subverted by folk wanting to sell the EU to the public......YET
