I am in the same boat, I don't currently have a job because all my time is spent on Phorm, I can't pay next month's mortgage yet again and the bank are removing half of my overdraft on 1st August. But I still spend vast amounts of time on this issue and whereas I don't want to start having a go at people, it would really have been appreciated to see more people attend.

At the end of the day it didn't really matter (except it meant Channel 4 didn't cover the event in the end due to lack of numbers) because the people who did turn up made the day a great success, but if I am going to organise any more of these events, I need to know people are going to turn up, the amount of work involved is beyond vast and whereas the direct costs of the event were covered by donations, they are by no means the only costs and I simply cannot afford to keep taking all this work on myself (that is not meant to disrespect the people who have obviously contributed but is a general comment to the general public).

So as I said, I am not going to make a big deal about it, the day was very successful, but a campaign cannot be won by people posting opinions on the web alone, it needs commitment in other mediums as well. This protest was a good chance for people to hit the street and make a difference, so I think it is only understandable that I was a little disappointed at the turn out.

alex, did the police give you any indication if they would keep you informed about progress on your complaint about BT ?

peter
Yes, as I said on NoDPI they will be in touch in due course.
