Nice one everyone that turned out for July Critical Mass, it was apparent unfortunately that the Police's heavy handed tactics last time succeeded in scaring a lot of people away.

... still no peace
30-07-2010 21:22
Although most people had already left at ten minutes past two, the last 25 people left for another march through the city, ending up back at Rose Court. With a few more people the energy would have been even more awesome. Sadly everyone seemed to have urgent appointments (at the pub?). Again the street was taken, and besides similar slogans as before "No Justice, No Peace..." Wwhose street? Our Streets!" the general public also got some education about proper bike etiquette and other lighter issues.
With a bit more stamina and determination this day could have been ours.

No Justice No Peace...
30-07-2010 20:22
About 200 people rallied today at Rose Court after it was announced that there will be no prosecution of Ian Tomlinson's murderers. Quite a few people took the opportunity to express their anger and grief, about Ian Tomlinson and everyone who has died at the hands of the police. Then the crowd took to the streets and after a short halt at Bank went to Cornhill to have a minute of silence in memory of Ian Tomlinson.
This is only the first installment, wait for more...

"The White House is screaming like a stuck pig. WikiLeaks’ release of the Afghan War Documents “puts the lives of our soldiers and our coalition partners at risk.”What nonsense. Obama’s war puts the lives of American soldiers at risk, and the craven puppet state behavior of “our partners” in serving as US mercenaries is what puts their troops at risk."
