John Voysey from Herefordshire will appear at Wrexham Magistrates Court on Wednesday 1 February charged under the Census Act 1920 with failing to complete the 2011 Census. John has been a conscientious objector since 1947 and is still standing up for his principles today, aged 82, to the point that he will refuse to pay any fine imposed rather than 'become an accessory' to the actions of the arms industry. Join John for an anti-war vigil outside the court from 11am.

Yesterday saw the first protest of Leamington and Warwickshire DPAC outside the offices of Tory MP Chris White. In spite of continuous rain there were between 30-35 people there. We couldn’t get to see Chris White and shortly before the protest began staff came out of the office and went away. We did however leave a letter for him and he has agreed to see me and some of his constituents at another time now. Full report here http://www.dpac.uk.net/2012/01/leamington-spa-and-london-round-up/
