"Pleadings"?
Are you a bloody yank?

...
Anyone here know who is organising the march?
I am serioulsy consdiering billing them because thier
actions have meant I have had to cancel a planned trip
with all the resulting problems that causes.

I am seriously consdering sending the organisers of
the march a bill for my time and inconvenience.

Perhaps some of the long suffering commuters, earners and
vistors to the capital should also bill the organisers,
who from what I have heard seem to be unwilling to consider
that others have a right to earn a living or enjoy london
in 'peace'.







Find me an actionable defendant, with sufficient funds to satisfy a

judgement
and costs, and I will draft the pleadings for you free of charge!

Marc.

No, "pleadings" is the word used by ENGLISH lawyers to describe documents used
to commence and continue proceedings in the civil Courts in England and Wales.
The term covers a multiplicity of documents including Particulars of Claim,
Defence, Counterclaim, Part 23 Claims and many others.

So glad to light your way out of ignorance.

And which group of disrupters are you going to take on next? Football
clubs? Pop groups? The Lord Mayor of London? The Stop Bush march, like
sporting, entertainment and pageantry events, are legal and we just have
to put up with the inconvenience that they cause.

Living close to Stamford Bridge, I am seriously contemplating the first group
you mention - I cannot leave my home whenever Chelsea play "at home" and if I
am foolish enough to try to drive home before the match has finished, I can
expect to sit in my car for anything up to 2 hours waiting for a car space to
become available. It often takes 2 hours for dispersal even after the match
has finished: all streets between Fulham Road and Wandsworth and Putney Bridges
are in complete gridlock.

Pop groups and the Lord Mayor of London (if you mean Ken, he is not a "Lord"
Mayor) cause me no inconvenience and other events, like Jubilee or Remembrance
parades are usually at week-ends or public holidays, so cause no disruption to
my work.

I too live, work and pay my taxes in London. I'll be equally damned if
people like you through your demonstrations try to stop me going about my
normal business because of your assumptions and opinions about Bush. As much
as you may support the feelings against him please recognise that there are
many in this country who have the opposite opinion.

I commute to Waterloo to work every day. On Thursday, however, I
shall commute to the starting point of the demo instead. I live and
work and pay my taxes in London, so I'll be dammed if someone tells me
I shouldn't attend a demo in my own city.

I thought it was Bush who was demanding the whole city got closed down.
Why is no one saying any of this "I have a right to go about my
business" stuff about him? Anyway, is this protest really going to stop
anyone going about their business anyway? I bet it won't affect me.

If Bush's advisers are making the demands you suggest, it can only be because
they have leigitimate concerns that, if the demonstrators got anywhere near
Bush (who is, whether you like it or not, an INVITED GUEST in this Country)
they will do to him what some have already stated they will be doing to his
statue.

It seems to me that those who are demonstrating should be doing so primarily
against Blair, at whose suggestion the invitation was made. Once that
invitation has been given, you can hardly blame Bush for accepting it, and then
wishing his safety to be secured.

Oh, please! Plenty of things affect us going about our "normal
business." You're just whinging about this particular one because it
inflames your political sensibilities.
