Coming on demos
Please attend these demos if you possibly can. They are all arranged with the police and everything is legal and above board. You will be made very welcome. All you need to do is turn up. You can bring your own banner or hold one of ours. Join in the chants if you like and feel the power of actually making a difference and being a part of the process of closing HLS for good.

If you have any questions regarding demos, just give us a ring on 0845 458 0630. We are always happy to answer any questions you may have.

There are regular demos in Sussex, Surrey, London, Berkshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire and Middlesex so if you are free on weekdays as this is when the companies are open then get in touch and come and join us.

If you want to be kept up to date with London demos then send us your email and mobile and we will let you know what is going on.

If you are ever in any doubt about why we never give in and drive so hard to shut HLS for good you only have to read from Michelle’s diary and see what she witnessed.

“The dog yelped in pain. Kathy mimicked the dog’s cry and told me to get the next dog.”

Every one of you counts in this battle. Get active.
