[Campaignforrealdemocracy] draft statement

[Mark Barrett]

Hi I've not had time to respond to the statement, but thought I should
mention I've booked the Guernica space for the 16th July,
provisionally for a pre-sponsorship Localists' Union meeting. I know
some probably some can't make it, but does that sound ok, or are there
any major clashes I should be aware of? Mark
