Northamptonshire BBC protest 11am 11/1

[Mawsley]

11am on the 11th of the 1st - BBC Northampton, Abington Street, Northampton

"We care, we are not going to go away. Section 18 has no part of the TPD because vaping is not a tobacco product, it's not a medicinal product it's a consumer product. There are 7,000,000 vapers in Europe, 1.5million in the UK, and these numbers are growing exponentially."

I am going to write to the newsdesks of the Chron, the Herald, the BBC and ITV to inform them that this is taking place. I am going to invite all MPs and MEPs in Northamptonshire to attend and show their support. Northampton MEP is very supportive.

This is a cross-forum thing because this is a cross-vaping thing and I'll be posting this message on other forums.

Any suggestions welcome - all Northamptonshire vapers welcome.

Dave.

Reminder that there's a vape meet outside the BBC in Northampton this Saturday at 11am. Needless to say the more of us who turn up the better it will look.

I've been in touch with the media, MPs and the MEP...only the UKIP MEP has got back in touch and may attend to make his point that Britain shouldn't be in Europe. Hopefully some of you have also written to them to impress upon them how important this is to us.

Wear something black and bring something to vape

there is also one in birmingham and many other cities accross the uk. same time same date and all are near BBC buildings. fairly sure there will be a media blackout on thise (like anything else that goes against the government) but lets all make some positive noise!

 

[Mawsley]

Current count across all the social media of people who have said they will attend is four.

That's 4.

Not even enough to make up a team for a 5-aside kickabout.

And two of these might not be able to make it.

That would make two.

That's 2.

Can you please give an indication if you are going to come along because as it stands I'd rather hop on a train to a city where a larger meet is taking place in order to add to the numbers there.

Do people seriously not give a f**&? I have reservations myself about this being the best thing we could be doing but it is taking place and I kind of feel we ought to support it.

 

[Mawsley]

With no one else expressing an interest and one more person pulling out I am sad to say that I am writing to the MEP to explain we will not be doing this on Saturday as two/three people vaping outside BBC Northampton will look, frankly, .......***g ridiculous.

We get the politicians and rules we deserve.

 

[Mawsley]

OK.

Two of us from POTV will be going, vaping and handing out these leaflets: http://ecigssavelives.co.uk/images/ECig_Flyer_A5.pdf

Anyone else caring to join us for a chat, a few minutes or a beer afters would be more than welcome.
