http://www.stopheathrowexpansion.com/news/Consultation-Rally

End-of-Consultation Rally

Central Hall, Westminster

corner of Tothill St and Storey’s Gate (Westminster and St James’s Park tube stations)

25th February 2008, 7pm

The rally to come to! It is a great chance to show the breadth of opposition there is to the expansion proposals.

Bring yourself! No charge! Bring your friends!

Be part of the thousands of voices saying ‘No’!

A wide range of speakers! Live Music! Campaign videos!

We have now arranged for a Lobby of Parliament for the same day – see below

Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg will be speaking at the Rally

Speakers already confirmed include:
Mark Lynas, climate change specialist and author of three books on the subject
Peter Ainsworth MP, Shadow Secretary of State for the Environment
Caroline Lucas MEP, Principal Speaker for the Green Party
John McDonnell MP, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington
Brian Paddick, Liberal Democrat candidate for London Mayor
Councillor Barbara Reid, Hounslow Council cabinet member, representing the 2M group of local authorities
Leo Murray, Plane Stupid
Geraldine Nicholson, Chair No Third Runway Action Group
John Stewart, Chair HACAN

Chair of the event: Baroness Jenny Tonge

—————————————————————————————————

The Lobby of Parliament will run from 5pm until 10pm.

It is an opportunity for anybody who wishes to go and lobby their MP in Parliament. It is better to let you MP know beforehand that you are coming, but it is not essential that you do. All you need to do is:

go to the St Stephens Entrance of the House of Commons (that’s the main entrance);

tell the police you are part of the Heathrow lobby (the lobby has been agreed with the police)

go to the Central Lobby and ask to see your MP

Even if your MP is onside, it is worth going to lobby them because part of the purpose of the exercise is to show other MPs just how much concern there is about the issue.

I'd love to go, but I'd have

I'd love to go, but I'd have to fly. So good luck!

Eco-fascists: all talk when their global temperature p**lus is going up, just a little coy when it's deflating! http://www.lenzie.org.uk/scam.php

You should have BEEN there !

Mr T G,

You REALLY should have been there ! The atmosphere was electric !

Lots of big politicos desperate to speak against Heathrow Expansion.

A packed Central Hall.

You could have come sustainably if you had started travelling earlier - an airship running on coconut oil would have been cool, or a chip-fat powered moped.
