When we found out this morning that David Cameron would be visiting Birmingham to speak at the LGA conference (which has Nick Clegg tomorrow), we felt that this visit couldn’t go un-noticed and hurriedly put out a call for anyone who could to come down to the ICC at 3pm – Cameron was due to speak at 3:45pm.
Obviously this talk had been kept quiet – he was listed as “a senior cabinet minister” on the website – as they knew that we would be out to welcome him in even bigger numbers if we had more warning.
Around 50 people made it out to show resistance to the ConDems – a great turnout for a demo called at 8am for just 7 hours later (and on a weekday)
