Just a quick note to say i dont understand why this thread has been shut down!It is no different to say the country side alliance who organised a march involving 470000 people.You need some sort of vehicle to organise these things.
I relise there is an issue to do with protests and motorways but hey live dangerously every now and then!!
Lets not forget we live in a country where it is ok to protest without fear of reprisal,and that involves freedom of speech?
Over to you

Cheers

I believe Mrs Fish (moderator) closed the thread pending Ted's decision upon his return.

It's a difficult position to be in, as any signs of 'pistonheads' as a name supporting action like that could result in court action against the site - Not what anyone wants...but yes this country, as part of the human rights act does support freedom of speech.

See you there, I'll be in the jam sandwich.
Not a camera operative.

I was waiting for Ted to make an executive decision, which in fact he has done upon his return and has re-opened the thread.
