[g8-sheffield] Fw: demo wed 15th June - my reply to police

[Chris Malins]

I think the implication from our friends in the constabulary, is that if 
there's somewhere we want to march, we should probably assume they won't 
let us. I reckon thats a fair translation of 'obvious routes'. I wait to 
be proved wrong.
