<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear Chris</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I asked: "Is it the 'respect to the defined route' that is the problem, or 'respect the stewards'? Or both?"</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>You said: "I just don't see the need for this, the policing by the police is going to be heavy enough, what is the need to add to it?"</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>But that's exactly the point: I don't want any policing by the police, there is no need for the police, we are quite capable of maintaining the safety and security of our own demonstrations. In Cuba, children and youth provide the stewards at demonstrations, such as at last Tuesday's march of 1.2 million against US state terrorism. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>There's one thing I'm not clear about: are you objecting to having any mention in the open letter of stewarding, or are you objecting to having stewards on the demo?</FONT></P>
