I'd just like to say well done to everyone who was involved in the protest on Saturday. It was a great event and well attended.
If you're like me who was at the back and couldn't hear all the speeches, here is a link to video clips and information. Gideon is here, along with Tom.
Mrs Ethal thinks Gid looked like a top duffer in his florescent mac and loud hailer combo.
And I must say I agree.
He does and he was!
Shame you couldn't hear near the back... I was at the front (by accident!) and there were some fantastic words said by all. And a little rain hurt none of us.

'Stoatboy' and myself tried to get the duffing mantra going. "What do we want? Gradual change! When do we want it? In due course". Whoever came up with that, thank you.
Less duffing in the pub later though. They only had straight pint glasses. I should really take my own tankard everywhere.
Think I may have been just behind you Mike.
Does anyone know the identity of the grey haired besuited party who spoke (some sort of politician perhaps)? As others have mentioned, those of us towards the back had a lot of trouble hearing the speakers. Apart from Tom Robinson, who knows how to rouse a rabble.
My research tells me the grey-haired gentleman goes by the name of Lord Tim Clement-Jones, and is a Liberal Democrat peer with responsibility for Culture, Media and Sport.
From
Away from Team 6, Liberal Lord Tim Clement-Jones gave his formal support to the Save 6 campaign. He said it wasn't for MPs to dictate how the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ should be run, but it was right for licence fee payers to tell Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ management when they believe they've got it wrong, and that parliamentarians provided another forum through which 6 fans, as licence fee payers, could air their opposition. "You should write to your MPs and tell them how you feel about 6music", he told the crowd. "The good news is, they're going to be particularly sensitive to your opinions in the next couple of months".
Yes, that'll be the chap. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
