It is just past midday on 10.29.10 29.10.10. There are now less than 24 hours to go before midday on 10.30.10 30.10.10. That makes it impossible for anyone to apply for police permission to stage a London demonstration in favour of sanity (or anything else) at 12pm tomorrow within the confines of the designated area displayed in the map below.
If you wish to have a rally to restore sanity anywhere in or near Parliament or Downing Street midday on 30.10.2010, there is now NO way to gain permission to do it legally; the official deadline passed days ago, and even the short notice deadline would require the use of a time machine. That’s the law.
(See: Sections 132 to 138 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005)
If you wish to hold an urgent and spontaneous demonstration outside Scotland Yard or the Home office in protest, this too is illegal without police permission (see map).
The KeepFearAlive rally for London does have police permission to stage a demonstration within the designated area (from 12pm-2pm), and we will also be demonstrating in favour of the law that grants us this exclusive privelege:
London/Westminster Rally to Defend SOCPA and Keep Fear Alive

are there any official placards saying "I know what you're thinking. I've seen the report from the home office"?

Shh! We do not badmouth our betters and (just in case, because you risk straying there) we never, EVER mention Andy Coulson and what he may have learned from listening to our phone messages.

It occurs to me that you have not taken any steps to ensure that people do not attend when they are supposed to be working. I suggest that all demonstrators sign a declaration that they have permission from their employer to be there. The placards can be endorsed with their line manager's direct number for the convenience of conservative bloggers wishing to verify this.
