The technique used to avoid the usual police repression, by pretending the demo would take place in London when it was actually planned to take place somewhere else, worked very well. It was amazing there were no arrests.

But for someone like me with a bicycle and other reasons why I could not use the tube and train, who turned up at Victoria Station, it was a wasted journey. I also met another potential supporter who was thwarted. I wonder how many supporters were lost in this way?
