Exactly!!!

A few points:

1/ The Protests in Europe are against the Directive 2006/24/EC (and related) which are our biggest threat, as this is what may help Webwise to operate legally.

2/ The Protests are the PERFECT opportunity to reach greater audiences; picture our campaigners with the crowds handing flyers and educating the public that way.

3/ The greatest threat to our campaign is the implementation of Phorm, which will set a precedence. Coupled with European Directive 2006/24/EC I can see NO WAY for us to legally challenge - and our campaign will become no more than a talking shop to ensure that the extent of the intrusion does not go too far.

The Protests are VERY relevant, and a great find by Alex - well done again bud. We must be involved, as the issue with Phorm will not be resolved until the likes of Article 3 of the European Directive 2006/24/EC are removed from the statutes. This is the Directive the protests are opposing - the very same that is threatening success in our campaign.
