MN DEMO - Who is attending

[jessicaandrebeccasmummy]

The MN Demo tomorrow at 10am at Vauxhall Bridge? (hope i got those details right!)

Please add your name here.

come on you London lot - didn't need a kick up the arse for a booze up did you?

shove yer kid in a trolley and get yersen down there - I'd be there if I wasn't so far away.

take your friends, make it a day out - god take your mother!

actions speak louder than words girls!

Hey JARM, great oomph you are providing here!

Im trying - bring ANYONE with you - Ive got my dad in tow ffs!!!!

.

I guess london people who aren't on holiday are at work, already committed etc..

COME ON GIRLS

Where are you all when MN NEED you????

GET YOUR SH*T TOGETHER AND BE THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am up in East Yorks so just can't make it unfortunately.

How about CATting Tahir and myfreeforum, see if they can get the word out on their boards?

ive been in contact with Tahir via email, he was going to put the word out, but we need MNers backing too - 6 people is a shockingly poor response.

Those at work - PHONE IN SICK! Its 1 day!!!! IT WONT HURT!!!

yeah have a sicky or 'go to the dentist' the fact your fizzog will be on national telly is neither here nor there

surely you can sort something out - even if its just for the morning?

JARM - you're doing a sterling job!

who gives a stuff about being seen on telly?! We are talknig human rights....... ill bet 90% of employers would do the same if they would get away with it

and thanks for the praise - my head is pounding, DH is having to do EVERYTHING tonight because I am sat here TRYING to get this thing off the ground

I expect the early time and the lack of time to get organised is the sticking point (apart from preserving anonymity and the cost)

Have you told people about this in other parts of mumsnet, just incase that they haven't come into this bit?

Does it have to be a week day ?

I'm really sorry but I can't make tomorrow

short of spamming every active convo - which will piss a lot of people off - theres not much i can do

i am relying on people reading the site stuff threads

imo it is the short notice that is the sticking point with so many. The early timing wouldn't be such an issue if people had time to prepare for it.

Havent read the whole thread, but is it worth putting this up on bounty and BMC?

I am in Birmingham so cant make it on such short notice. Good luck to you all though.

I hear what you're saying wanna but as a news journo myself I have to agree with edam that it's a good idea to make the most of this initial flush of publicity because people won't want to cover it if it's deemd old. It's also still the silly season so home news is a bit weak at the moment which means there's a better chance of getting decent coverage.

Its on Bounty, and there is lots of support, but people cant make it due to distance from their house/time/money.

Maybe you should all take laptops and synchronise with online support

can't you pressgang passers by to join the fun?

Why am i bothering?

Sorry guys I posted on the other thread, I can't make it I have looked into it and I would have to catch the commuter train up from Hastings at about 7am and with the 9mth old in tow it would just be impossible.

if peter wasnt coming home tonight then i'd be there. you know i would. i'm sorry
