Vigil faces bully-boy tactics

The following is our confirmatory email to them. To confirm our conversation today about the demonstrations on Saturday: We suspect the group behind the rival demonstration is responsible for a campaign to misinform our supporters that the Vigil has been cancelled and as you know the Vigil is going ahead as usual this Saturday. This group has refused to co-operate with the Vigil and has drawn up a programme which they seek to impose on us.  It is like allowing the Socialist Workers’ Party to stage a demonstration at a Labour Party gathering.  We will do our best to ensure that the day passes peacefully but fear that they are trying to disrupt us.  They talk of bringing a thousand people but we suspect that – like the supposed presence of the Archbishop of York – this is just fantasy (we have it on good authority that the Archbishop will not be in London this Saturday). Anyway, we will be grateful for a police presence. As you know we have asked for this very seldom in going on six years. Thank you for your help and support during this long campaign.
