Discussion

Issues associated with Clause 152 of the Justice and Coroners Bill

All of our attendees (even those attending in spirit) contacted their MP and mentioned their concern over this Bill. Shockingly none of them chose to reply. Now since I have not seen everyone elses letter I cannot hazard a guess why no reply was sent. They are supposed to reply regardless! Even so, what I do know is that I followed the previously mentioned guide to writing to your MP by the Open Rights Group to the letter.

I did get an opportunity to talk about the response I got from my local MP Dr Richard Taylor.

Council Motion Progress

Brought to the groups attention, was the progress made in getting councillors supporting an ID card motion. Wyre Forest DC’s Fran Oborski and Martin Howard; shown by their printed email dialogue got behind me on this one without hesitation. Very encouraging. A plan was discussed regarding sensitising other council members to the motion set to be tabled.

An Approach!

Our NO2ID trifolds got us in trouble… nah not really we just got some attention that we dont usually get. We were approached by someone froma nearby table. Great stuff I thought. Some of the group got a little too fired up with her questions, I was aiming to answer them calmly…but hey ho theres enough other people in Worcester to practice on!

See you all next month
