It would appear that the only thing that will bring about any realisation by this double dealing government is people power, The people of this country have it within their power to force change. For a start a mass march of all supporters on parliament on the reopening day after the parliamentry christmas recess. It cannot be outside the organisations abilities to arrange this , if that has no effect mass refusal to pay certain taxes, although this money should be put aside for payment at a later date. There are so many ways protest on a non violent way can be effective. For instance a motorcade at 15 mile an hour on the M25. Call all supporters into action. I for one will be more than willing to take an active part.
