Democracy Tour in the UK

Delayed arrival - Westminster - Public debate in Chelsea

Day One (24.3.)

The tour started with a great delay. After the bus had left the ferry in Dover the British customs took a close look at it - 6,5 hours. The bus driver was interviewed by the security service. Naturally they found no reason to stop the bus. Only suspicious people might think that this investigation was a result of the conspicuous paintwork of the bus.

Finally, the bus arrived just in time to spend a wonderful night in the underground car park beside a roaring generator.

 

Day Two (25.3.)

We inflated our display in front of the Houses of Parliament. The police showed up.

In the evening a public debate took place in Chelsea.

Speakers:

John Cryer MP - Labour for a Referendum

David Heathcoat-Amory MP - Conservative representative of the UK Parliament on the European Convention

Thomas Rupp - European Referendum Campaign

Sir Anthony Meyer - Federal Union

Professor Stephen Haseler - Federal Union

Chair:

Marc Glendening - Campaign Director, Democracy Movement
