Dennis, have you been to any of these marches or demos? Yeah, there are the usual sectarian hacks, but there are also all kinds of other people too. And the more non-sectbots there are, the better.

As for the date of the assessment, what made that time different is that there were lots of people in the streets, and today many fewer. I don't get your point. It's like saying, yeah the streets were wet, but it's only because it was raining.
