Party@Parliament - 9th October, 1pm

We know how distressing it can be to lose your job. As we're sure people who have been sacked know it is helpful to have caring and supportive people around you to deal with the stress of being unwanted. In this spirit we will be helping sacked MPs and Civil Servants get over their distress of being fired on Monday 9th of October.

Judging by recent statements MPs only have a few days left of employment. Unsurprising really when you consider they have dragged people into two unwinnable wars (three if you count their war against a noun), and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Enough is clearly enough, and on the 9th of October these fools will finally be given their marching orders.

But if you can spare them a brief thought of the stress that they will be facing. There are only a few companies who will happily employ war profiteers and war adventurers. We're offering our help by turning the afternoon of the 9th into a Party@Parliament. All Members of Parliaments, Lords, civil servants and their lackeys are invited. They will be able to boogie away their blues, canoodle in the corner underneath Winston's watchful eye and generally forget that they have destroyed the lives of thousands of others.

This party is, of course, also open to all the various members of the public who are coming to Sack Parliament. We think it will be a good chance for them to mingle with the recently sacked MPs, and maybe give them some advice on what else they could do. Perhaps they can point them in the direction of the Job Centre?

Tell the Evening Standard about this action

Why not tell the Evening Standard about this action in order to get more publicity for it and therefore much bigger numbers. All too often major actions end up consisting of just a few dozen people who are then shoved into a pen by the police. So inform local London newspapers and radio stations about this action.

- as if any protest action is going to be front page news unless it affects house prices or tube fares?!

are you joking???


The Mayday protest were reported in the Evening Standard

The Mayday protests of a few years ago were reported in the Evening Standard! Also if this protest is to be a success then it has to told to as many people as possible and given that the Evening Standard is the biggest newspaper in the London area then it should be informed and be sent press releases! So too do local radio stations. This is the most important demonstration ever as it is against the genocide in Iraq and Afghanistan being committed by Adolf Blair!!!

I'm sure that something's been sent to the Evening Standard. But really I'm not sure we should get too worked up about whether they cover it or not. If they do cool, if they don't well... they'll certainly be covering it come the Monday! If you really feel worked up about it why not write to the papers to tell 'em what you're up to (as a letter - innit!), and those new freesheet things also let you txt msg in messages. They seem to print pretty much everything they get so you may as well!
