Hello peoples. I've just seen that Muslims Against Crusades are seeking permission to protest near Westminster Abbey on the royal wedding day. The English Defence League have warned that if they are allowed to protest then they will protest in response to the protest.

I like the idea of a domino effect of protests, starting with MAC protesting, then EDL protesting about their protest, then some anti-fascist group protesting about their protest, with several other groups involved and it eventually coming full circle and MAC ending up protesting about a protest that is indirectly in response to their original protest.

But I don't know enough groups to fill in the gaps, don't have time to be googling for ages and can't be bothered to make them up.

Anybody fancy taking up the challenge of writing something on this? Or helping me out with some ideas and I'll have a crack at it?

You could include TPA (the Tax Payers Aliiance) protesting at the cost of police overtime.

We should do this as a chain, so:

Muslims Against Crusades - English Defence League - Lewisham Anti-Racist Action Group -....

and so on.

COuld we aim to end up with the Ugley Women's Institute?

Sealed Knot Society might join in eventually, to reinact the first battle.

The original plan was to have it end back with the MAC protesting about something different. Chuck in some students, they'll join in a protest for anything.

The so-called "royal" wedding is so boring that I think you should find another starting off point.

And, if the Wettins still want to be called "royal" they should get another good dose of royal German blood. This mixing with commoners stuff has gone beyond the joke stage.

Good idea, I might have a go but up to you to take a crack first.

I was going to have a crack at writing it up as a full story and 'borrow' some/all of Pete H's, but then it was used as a NiB, so I assumed it would be a waste of time writing an expanded version and wrote something else instead, on a completely different topic.
