Westminster City Council's response to mass demo
"I call on you to cancel your protest ride on 31st March, which will inevitably delay Londoners seeking to go about their business, many on their journey home"

Getting a 1000 bikers there is a tall order, but it's possible.

If it was aborted then what other form of direct and peacefull action would we take to get the attention of the tosspots who have their snouts in the trough, seems like the council dont give a flying fuck about anybody as long as they squeeze more cash from the public.

Sounds a little intimidatory to me.
Reach out and touch someone.

You could always do the following,

1 just stand on the side of the road (out of the way of the public),

2 keep quiet and

3 get NOTHING done.

That would keep the 'powers that be' happy (and us poorer)

Good on ya lads (and girls), if it was coming to wigan then I would join in

But Kevin, it will be coming to Wigan, if everybody stands back.

Tis true, Chalkley has stated it:

http://www.mslmagazine.co.uk/news.htm

" Called the Pay by Phone system, the use of the mobile technology now means that the plan is now easy to expand across London initially once the scheme has been proven by Westminster.

According to Westminster Councillor Danny Chalkley, after that the scheme will go to Birmingham, Liverpool, Peterborough and across the rest of the country."

If you can come, please do, it's no longer a 'London' thing.

Ride safe...

I've received an e-mail from cllr David Boothroyd that has shown there are some MPs on our side. But I don't know how to paste the e-mail here.

He and cllr Ruth Bush met with the No To Bike Parking Tax group, and proffered advice on how to oppose Westminster council's policy. This at least shows that MPs are taking note.

A big demo on 31st March could make a huge inroad into getting the charges scrapped. Even if Westminster council don't budge, other councils will be watching, and may baulk at the idea of demos outside their own office.

It really is worth attending, people, if only as a bike meet. I met loads of people at Hanover Square last year, had a great laugh, brought Regent St to a standstill, and had my photo taken by a million jap tourists (roughly).

What's not to like? It's a couple of hours' fun. And worth the journey.

Thank you for the invitation, Danny Chalkley. I'll be there, I promise.

I'm there now, if only cause of this idiotic letter... See you guys on the road!

I was going to say look for a silver TL1000 and say hello, but I really don't fancy being stuck in traffic on a sports bike, so I'm going to borrow a Triumph Boneville for the day. You won't miss it, it has yellow cam covers!

Let me know what bikes you'll be riding (photos would be better) and I'll try to find you.

I'll be on the Burgman 400 with lap cover, top box backrest, megaphone and V for Vendetta mask. Hard to miss.

"Perhaps it is now time for one of you to have a quiet word with Mr Chalkley..."

Or maybe a thousand...
