...wound it's way - mostly hemmed in on the pavement by flourescent authority figures - through streets of the east end. At one point very nearly reclaiming the street, or approach road from Canning Town til the police penned half the people in for a while.

Honest Reaction

Sorry people, don't want to offend, but the evidence definately shows that choosing to hold the street party outside of DSEi event dates did not do us any favours. OK, change things around from last time, keep the state on their toes, but in future, learn this lesson. Events as small as this are just ripe for "nutcases prove their useless" type negative press. If we're going to have any negative press, lets at least try not to look pathetic. This mustn't become "Arms Fair Mobilisation Saved by the Clowns", even if they are the coolest new trend since Samba was actually cool!

Who exactly is 'us' or 'evidence' then Mr Observant Sympathiser - I think you are the same negative poster using a different name - there are plenty of anti-DSEI activities betweeen when the years the fair is actually on. 'Learn the lesson...??? - you arrogant tosser. Don't bother posting unless you have something useful
( informative ) to say you egotistical young man.

Why did almost no one turn up?

Why did almost no one at all turn up? What has gone wrong with RTS at one time they used to attract 4,000 people to their parties! How come this one was so badly organised and why the hell was it held BEFORE the arms fair?????
