The police refused to authorise our planned demonstration on Whitehall at 11.30am today (April 21) and made clear that, if it took place, the organiser will be liable to arrest and imprisonment for up to a year.
To avoid any police action against protesters turning up, we have been forced to cancel this demonstration.
Our protest from 5pm-7pm outside the Treasury (1 Horse Guards Road, London SW1A 2HQ – click link for map) will still take place. Please spread the word and attend the protest to demand a People’s Bailout – and defy police moves against demonstrations.
We will also be going ahead with our 7.30pm Question Time event with John McDonnell MP, economist Graham Turner and others in Committee Room 10, House of Commons.
Make sure you come along and exercise your right to protest.
