If there is not enthusiasm for trying to assemble on P Square, then I will
not call it...but a message has gone out from Phoenix I believe (or via
Phoenix), so some people may go to the Square. I do not know who decided on
that.
My thought was that this is a good time to be bold and central in a lawful
and peaceful way, plus the police are far too busy! Plus we should show
political will to demonstrate the illegitimacy of the government that is
hated and detested. People who feel insecure about coming there, I
understand. but I think there is no difference in risk between being at P Sq
(from 5ish to 7) compared to the 15M situation at RFH (which s proposed for
later in the evening and therefore people would be going back after dark,
which is riskier). As usual, P Sq has far more symbolic resonance, whereas
the point of coming to Festival Hall is less obvious.
I have not messaged out the facebook groups at this stage, and do not see
anyone has. There seems too much confusion. WE may go to the square to
discuss the situation with whoever turns up, and work out a better plan.
