Well done us. We had a great meeting - Taking Liberties, in defence of the Muslim population of D against the Snooker Bollockers, the Department of Education instructions for lecturers to spy against students, and the general Islamophobic crap being vomited by New Labour ministers.
So much ass has been kicked tonight. Thanks to O for being smart, swank and factual; C for dishing quality dirt and analysis; R for eloquent, magnificent defence of freedom, Sh for a well delivered bunch of reality, and to me for a decent speech on short notice.
Many thanks to: S's friends, the hijab-wearing ass kickers, O's crew, D's SWP rock star brigade, a high quality reporter, and an Irked member of Parliament for bringing the awesome this evening.
Now to build, and deploy the Ten Thousand Pound Shit-Hammer of Public Opinion against some notorious Political Police.
S. has been pointed to my blog by O., and liked the description of S.
versus the honourable Member of Parliament. Hi S. and O.! I'm so
embarrassed that you guys saw the post where I talked about being
pished!
It's so exciting that the big event is going forward tonight. Here I sit
trying to do my job and not think about the event so I'm moblogging and
that will put it out of my mind, hopefully. How do you, O.,
compartamentalise your mind successfully?
Leafletting the uni for it at noon and getting there early in the
evening to greet notables and assist in the management of screwups. So
many wonderful people have offered help and we are all deeply grateful.
I was out leafletting with C,S,L today at the campus. Not too effective.
we shall try again tomorrow. Then we went to the girl's area in the
Islamic Society, which was peaceful, warm and sunny. The Muslim girls
chill out there and it was very nice. I sat there and moaned with S
about my job/her schoolwork for a while, then went back to work.
