Attack of the Theocrats!
a) It was cold in Manchester. Very Cold.
b) We had a police officer and three community support officers come by to help manage the protest. Apparently we'd been spotted on CCTV.
c)The Boots Manager looked mightily annoyed at being dragged out of her officer to witness it.
d) The pills are smaller than tic-tacs but it's still a job to swallow 84 of the things.

e) Angela from something called "Channel M" joined us, with her HD camera, so there should be some footage up on youtube eventually.
f) We retired to the pub for the afternoon so the day wasn't an entire waste.
We did make the news

but there's more in there from the Society of Homeopaths about how misguided the protest was and from Boots covering themselves in the cloak of "informed public choice"
