Good points. You reminded me of a discussion I have had with someone who was speaking to the SSAFA lawer who was at the original meeting in June where 80 objectors turned up. When the lawer stood up to deliver the case for SSAFA the crowd (led by APEM i am sure) all started booing and jeering (so much for respectable gentlefolk then!)to an extent that the lawer could not be heard. He sat down and then tried again, every time he stood up the crowd starting jeering. He was never heard. I think if that occurs on the night we will have to exercise every ounce of self control we have. We have briefed any speakers that if this does occur, to stand there until the mob are either out of breath, or dry throats stop them. We can hand them bottled water so that they continue until severe throat strain will shut them all up This could be a difficult encounter with the Nimby's.
