After the Royal Wedding - next years Queens Jubilee

This is an independent proposal for a networked and autonomous series of groups who just organise events locally and publicise them in one place (possibly Ian Bones blog).
After the Royal Wedding - next years Queens Jubilee
Given that there was an autonomous wave of anti Royal feeling against the Wedding this year, and given the arrests. There maybe some potential in a Republican coalition that specifically attacks the Queens Jubilee next year, that contrasts the cuts with the money spent on the monarchy and their wealth, crown estate etc and which is also very ‘Defending the Right to protest’.
It should set out to be as inclusive as possible, and focus on building events around the country, confronting the Roayls wherever they go & with a big one for the ‘big day’. The key to success is clearly mobilising on an anti royal theme, which is not tied to any ideology, it should demand nothing of people in advance of involvement and just be very ‘can do’, ‘should do’. We must defend the right to protest by showing that we can target the Royals that the police want to protect at all costs.
This is not so much a case of wishful thinking, the political situation demands that we break through here and protest otherwise they have got their way and protest has been effectively banned.
