Who is up for a protest outside Random House/Vermillion (who publish that book) TOMORROW? It will be in London. Possibly wearing gags (silenced by xxx).

Please add your name here and I'll CAT you.

Another good point re guide dog Wannbe! I'd be happy to meet you if necessary. But so far we just don't have enough people to make it viable.

COME ON MNers, if you can get to central London for 10am tomorrow, sign up here!

(Being really nosy here, tell me to bog off if necessary, but do you use adaptive technology? Just that I wrote something about it a while ago).

Fio, yes, Vauxhall Bridge Road!

not being nosy at all, yes I use a screen reader on my computer, and have similar technology on my mobile phone. Other than that though don't use anything adapted other than bathroom and kitchen scales, quite horrifying when a little man says "your weight is ...".

Can I suggest a bit later than 10am is best if this goes ahead....not that I'll be coming (sorry!) but travelling on peak fares at rush hour will put a lot of people off!

lillabean · 09/08/2006 14:33

I apologize for being so thick, but I don't get why you'd choose the publisher as a location for a demo, instead of houses of parliament i.e.?

What does the publisher have to do with all this?

edam · 09/08/2006 14:44

Afraid I really do have to go and do some work now but do please keep the thread bumped. Will check back in later.

10am necessary to get any news coverage, sorry.

Publisher for various reasons - we'd have to get permission from the police for a demo outside parliament, which would take time, plus a publisher's office seems like a good place to highlight freedom of speech. If she is allowed to publish her words, we should be allowed to publish ours!

LOL Wannabe!

fluttergandhibee · 09/08/2006 15:06

I really really want to come but I just looked it up and to get their for the time you needs us I would have to get on the 7am commuter train and with a 9 month old I really can't do it.

Sorry guys, if another one is planned at all I shall be more than happy to attent as long as we can do it for later in the day, I think the time will stop a few people because of the commuter issue.

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 09/08/2006 15:09

Gotm y invite - thanks st george x

Rhubarb · 09/08/2006 15:11

If there is anything I can do, let me know. I can't go to this but I can print stuff for people, posters, flyers, stuff like that.

alexsmilitantmum · 09/08/2006 15:11

cheers st george-keep checking my inbox but nothing there

AvaLou · 09/08/2006 15:13

why not arrange a more mum friendly time? i.e 3pm, and then we'd be around as staff are leaving too which will reinforce it to them.

Quootiepie · 09/08/2006 15:13

alexsmilitantmum · 09/08/2006 15:13
