Stop Disconnection April Fools Flashmob
Are we being made fools of? Is our democracy a joke?
We’re turning it around on Thursday. We’ll be presenting a heartfelt gesture of thanks to the people who brought you the tragi-comedy that is the Digital Economy Bill – but we need your help.
Please help us give them a thank you by joining a small protest for your lunch hour – our Top Secret flashmob. We can’t reveal precisely what we’re doing or where yet, except to say that we’ll meet you nearby.
Once again, we’ll have the placards and the leaflets: just bring yourself and some black tape to censor yourself with.
Meeting point: Central London. Exact location TBA – get a free ticket and we’ll let you know.
Date: Thursday 1st April 2010
Time: 12:20pm
Please help us give a big thank you to the people who brought you the UK’s biggest joke this year…
There are two ways to get the details as we release them:
- Order a ticket on Eventbrite
- RSVP as an attendee or a maybe on Facebook
