I keep saying this, but wonder just how few people think the same.
The larger the number of people attending a protest event the less inclined I am to attend it, while if it is going to just attract a few people I’m much more likely to take part in it.
This comes from the experience of being on too many pickets of 2 to 5 people, and knowing just how much a couple more people attending will make.
At the same time I keep being told that protesters at the DRS depots, Springfields, Capenhust, or Whitehaven are just too far away to attend them.
Yet the very same people will urge me to attend national demonstrations which attraction vaste numbers, or that really are both difficult and expensive to attend.
That is why I will not be going to protest at Lakenheath, but will be going back to Whitehaven in June.
