Look, months of hard work have gone into this campaign and we don't want the demo to degenerate into a 'them versus us' confrontation. The demo is our public face. There are even BT shareholders amongst us.
The demo has to be orderly with the aim of attracting more support not making ordinary people feel uncomfortable. Being irresistibly reasonable (and right!) are much better tactics than a war of attrition which is why the debate here has attracted interest at the highest level.

TBO, im not sure were this is coming from, the whole point of any video and audio interviewing is to help inform and educate people to the real dangers that customer DPI for profit bring.
theres no intention to make anyone uncomfortable, if they dont want to participate , they are free to go about their business uneffected, it not a problem, Pete mentioned some valid and good points, and its now clear there are no real problems in public space and thats fine.
any action thats unreasonable will OC be discuraged as not a good thing, the whole idea is to inform and collect our own user generated realtime content to be used in helping the wider populas that cant be there on the day, and those that do not know about any of this as yet.
video and audio sound bites if you will, as not everyone takes to reading messageboard text, but will watch short information video and audio clips when placed in front of them, the TV generation is long, as is their average habits, so thats why i beleave it's in our longer term interest to make it, if your able.
there are still masses of people that once they see these potentially many user created interview clips, will also fall on this side, that is the only side im refering to, Pro or Anti DPI for profit, at ordinary users cost in every part of the UK (in this case), and beyond.
