Well, first off what a brilliant day. I can say without a shadow of a doubt that the single most effective thing we did today was to give out those leaflets. Without them it really would have been a bit disastrous (top marks to Alex for sorting those out).

I can't believe how many people were interested in what we had to say, and as has already been mentioned, most were astonished and horrified. Usually the first thing anyone said was "that can't be legal can it?" - We met some real characters on the street today, not least of which were the other protesters of course :P

I now have terrible cramp. Does anyone know how to get rid of a golf-ball sized muscle lump?

On a side note, one smartly turned out chap came over early on who smiled at Alex and asked him if he was disappointed with the turn-out, only to be met by our smiling faces and the offer of a leaflet for his perusal. He seemed so chuffed that we strongly suspected he was a Phorm exec. He even managed to take our picture, which I strongly suspect will make it into the Phorm PR release about the event, as at the time there were only 6 of us present.

Like Jtechs and Madslug I lost count of how many leaflets I handed out, but I was measuring the volume in inches, that should tell you something.

When Baroness Miller turned up with her attendant in tow I was very happy to discover that she comes across as a very warm and caring person, very down to earth and certainly not afraid to mix with the Hoi-Paloi (sp?). The lack of numbers was certainly made up for by the friendly and approachable atmosphere. No-one turned up to spoil the day - they would have stood out like a sore thumb.

Top job everyone, and looking forward to Pete's report. Oh, and there was a reporter from ZDNet who went with Alex to the Police station, but I had to leave at that point.
