Wasn't Friday's Critical Mass fantastic? We just thought that we should send our thanks to the one man (or woman?) that helped make it all possible.
Down here in sarf London it's been a bit of an uphill slog getting folx interested in a meet up and a pedal about - especially with the evenings drawing in, but trusty public servant Superintendent Gomm manged to completely invigorate the issue with just a few well chosen lines.
Now we wouldn't mind betting that the issue won't feature heavily on his/her CV when that promotion looms but we say 'well done fella' - is it okay if we contact ya when the next protest group needs a leg up? Top Work!

But you have to be careful giving credit, 'cos you don't know if it's really due.
Remember, when the chips are down, they are still the first line of defence for the State (then it's the boys fresh back from Basra :-).
Chill a little, see what happens at the next Critical Mass.

Where were the injunctions? Where was the s.14 Order?
What makes it even worse for the Met is that anyone arrested/injuncted
in future for CM and/or Parliament Square activities may call
Gomm. Both as a witness to the emptiness of police threats, and to
say how threatened police intervention on a Mass actually exaccerbates
the very 'problem'it sets out to solve.
Perhaps we should name the next CM ride after the Super who's worked wonders
for numbers?
And a big thanks to the 56a members who were there at the beginning of
CM's in 1994 - and still active as ever today!!
