The next regular London protest against Scientology is planned for this coming Saturday the 15th of Ma and is expected to follow the usual plan.

The next regular monthly protest for London is scheduled for Saturday the 10th of April.

Here’s the WWP thread.

The next regular London Monthly protest against Scientology will be on Saturday the 13th of March.

For February, a bunch of anons from Manchester are coming down to join us, so we’re doing our Main Monthly protest on the 20th to accomodate them.

It’s expected to follow the standard pattern, here’s the planning thread on WhyWeProtest.

Another standard-format London Monthly protest is planned for Saturday the 16th of January.

There’s been a lot of sporadic “miniraid” activity recently, but the main London monthly protest is this coming Saturday the 12th.

It’s expected to follow the usual pattern. See also the thread on WhyWeProtest.

Independent Australian Senator Nick Xenophon (for reals, no fooling) has made great use of parliamentary privilege to raise concerns about issues Scientology that various ex-members relayed to him, and call for a full inquiry into Scientology’s behaviour (they have a tax excemption in Australia).

To quote Gawker’s article, “An Australian senator has called for a criminal investigation into Scientology, alleging that the cult is “an abusive, manipulative, violent and criminal organization.” The senator’s name is Nick Xenophon. This is going to be good.”

The Australian reports, “Independent senator Nick Xenophon tabled explosive letters from former Scientology officials and staff alleging a litany of abuses, including coerced abortions, assault, imprisonment, covering up sexual abuse, embezzlement of church funds and blackmail.”

There’s a whole Situation Room over on the WhyWeProtest forum, which includes a thread with full youtube videos and a transcript.

This situation has interesting implications for the UK too – because of UK Scientology’s “interesting” corporate structure (i.e. it’s mostly owned by COSRECI, an Australian corporation), they have an excemption from UK VAT because of a reciprocal agreement between the UK and Australia governments. If the .AU govt revokes their tax excemption over there, with any luck this will mean UK Scientology will stop being able to dodge VAT over here.

The next main London Monthly protest is coming up shortly, this coming Saturday the 17th of October.

For more info, see the WWP thread. For basic information like maps and how to find the protest locations, see the Protest In London page, same as usual.

This month’s main London protest is coming up this weekend.

Please check the planning thread for more details.

Congrats Anonymouse, the first Anonymous protester to grace London’s Fourth Plinth.

In other news, there’s a miniraid in London this coming weekend.
