Dec 8th Climate March - Autonomous Bloc

Greetings!
As you may be aware, there's a global day of climate action on the 8th dec, including a national march in london. Given the expected size of the march, it seems fair to have a nice autonomous bloc.

The bloc will be assembling with the rest of the march at 12.00 at Millbank (Westminster Tube, apparently), and will probably assemble using the traditional "Organic Coallesion" method - reproduced below for those who aren't familiar with it. People are encouraged to bring along the normal paraphenalia (banners, megaphones, flags, one of those awesome bicycle sound systems), and anything else that they think should be fun.
Anyone who hasn't been on an autonomous bloc before is especially encouraged to join - we're all lovely people who'll be happy to chat to you, and you'll have a much better time than on the rest of the march ;)
Pass along the message to your friends and comrades!
Solidarity,

Appendix - Organic Coallesion Technique of Bloc Formation
1 - Arrive at meeting point
2 - Look around for red and black flags
3 - Head towards the nearest one
4 - Introduce yourself to the bearer and their companions
5 - As a group, repeat from step 2 until everyone is in the same place
In the unlikely event of no red and black flags being visible, look for other telltale signs of possible bloc members, such a palestinian scarves, black hoodies, and special brew.
