London

Protest Plans

Same as always. Meet at the Scientology HQ on Queen Victoria Street by Blackfriars at 11am for the first protest. Following ENG's case being thrown out, it is now open season on "Cult" signs - prizes will be given to the person who brings the biggest "Cult" sign.

We will disperse from QVS at around 1.30 (listen for announcements on the day), and regroup on Tottenham Court Road at 2pm. The Dianetics shop is right by Goodge Street tube station, head towards there and you'll find us.

Usual rules apply.

- Do what the police say. Apparently the police are reducing their presence for this one as we've proved we're not violent, so lets try to prove them right and be well behaved.
- Don't go anywhere near Scientology property
- Be polite and nice to anyone and everyone (even if you think they're a Scientologist - remember we're trying to help these people)

Also come dressed as a pirate for this months "Sea Arrrg" theme. Bring Sea Org-related flyers and info, and be prepared for unabated swashbuckling.

• Cult is allowed, ENG prevails
• Bring loads of fliers, they will be handed out by someone, if not you
• Bring refreshments, or moneyz to go get refreshments
• Might be hot (with luck), sun cream good idea
• Brolly a good idea if its due to rain
• zero trolling of the police
• Use your common sense, and all will be good

Operation Sea ARRRGH! isn't it?

So dress up as pirates I guess.

lolwut at where my london post went... explanation would be nice... hmm...

on another note, yes, june, roll on sea arrrgh!

and wbm is july

Calling all ArtyAnons, although please tell me if you think it might not work.
When we protest opposite the Queen Victoria center, there's that upper level. Do you think it would work to get a lot of paper, paint a huge ship on it, and dangle it over the edge so everyone upstairs looks as thought they're on the deck of a ship?

its official: i will be bringing my dad. run for cover! and for fuck sake don't let him speak to the public!

It seems like the dressing up like a pirate idea is catching on. At least three of my friends are now saying that there is a high probability that they are coming along to this protest. One being extremely happy that the date was 14th of June and not the 7th as originally indicated, because she'd be busy on the 7th.

"Operation : Nightlight" is a fantastic idea for an anonymous event during the summer. It is legal because somebody beamed a naked chick onto the houses of Parliament in London a few years back

Aye, I'm having a lot of luck with snaring people with the whole "dress like a pirate, eat cake, have lulz" angle. Of course then they do a bit of research and get anti-Scilon too so it's win-win. This one will definitely be a popular protest in the way that Reconnect wasn't

Pirates for the win. Just imagining the scilons' expressions when 500 people turn up waving swords outside their org... priceless.

+3 confirmed already for pirate fun :)

This theme works well on all fronts.

1. lots of lulz
2. Focus – sea org – loads of juicy stuff; abortions, RPF, billion year contract.
3. V mask looks good with pirate gear.
4. Perfect for new recruits – come for the lulz, stay for grate justice.

I will be tharrrrr! to catch a major London raid at last.

Though probably not in pirate gear, I'm just travelling through London that weekend...
I think sword-waving (even fake swords) might be a bad idea, but if we could get a bunch of people making balloon swords...

I think as long as the swords are made out of cardboard and tin foil we should be alright. We'll see how this whole "threatening harrassment" situation works out with the police tomorrow but honestly it would be ridiculous if they perceived blatantly fake, badly-made swords to be intimidating.

The Sea Org is a fantastic thing for getting moar newfags. "How many religions do you know that have their own private navy, and their own penal system (RPF)?" If the person you're talking to doesn't go wtf then they either haven't been listening or they just don't live in the real world.

Yarrrr!

YARR +1!

Co$ must roll 1+ on 3D10 for saving throw. Fails saving throw.

(Wtf where did that ^ faggot tree come from :S)

I will be in attendance. Perhaps in mix of pirate + raid outfit. Im thinking long-john-type-trousers, big leather belt, silly shoes and long red/white socks, but suit & upper tie on top half.

...with a pirate hat. Thoughts?

I am almost..almost convinced to travel down to London for this. Not because of the piracy but because I feel stupid and useless sitting behind a screen willing you on.

What are the rules re: cake bringage?

nah. not balloon swords... what you want is a baguette :)

Leeks also good

I will prob just do jeans and T-shirt and bring a couple of sheets of fake 'medal' stickers to make a fake SO type outfit.

Leeks would be funny - can't say I am so enthused by the pirate thing, its a good idea for a theme, but I dont like the dress up. I liked it when we all wore suits. However, I shall go with the flow here
