Jess the Dog, well said that man! I quite agree; keep the UKNDA, BAFF, MFATW and anyone else's agendas out of this. Your shopping list says it all for me, although the overall message needs to be soundbite clear, especially on the noisy, in the street, surrounded by participants displaying placards, outfits, petitions etc, piece to camera that is de rigeur on the tele news these days. Forces against the cuts, perhaps? The broken arrow seems a good symbol (sorry, can't remember whose suggestion). All this will achieve is to put defence, or the increasing lack of it, into the public eye. But that will be a big start for an ongoing campaign, in which visible presence is important. Given the embargo on serving personnel being in the march (well, officially) it is up to the veterans and NoK to turn out en masse. I just knew when Gordo invented us and that tin badge that he would rue the day. That day is nigh!
