We all thank you for the excellent organisation. I can only urge England to regionalise now. Our Welsh Assembly Government protects us from many of the ConDem cuts and earlier this month we voted to distance ourselves further from Westminster where we could. I would also urge a headcount of those attending on Saturday if that's possible. It is in the interests of "the authourities" to minimise numbers, maximise trouble in order that future events are discouraged: few cared and those who did, did damage! That's what the press say. Far from the case! I KNOW there were half a million there, less than 600 did damage or were dangerous, yet what was reported? By the time we got home, listening to BBC reports on the radio, we thought we'd attended quite a different event! It was a wonderful day, superb organisation, great camaraderie and, again, a privilege to be counted, just let's make sure the counting is fair! See you next time then brothers and sisters!
