Hahaha!!!

The organiser of a local arts exhibition (with a 'Thanet Coastal'
theme) wants to include a couple of our Naked Protest photos...the
strange thing is, this exhibition is organised & financed by Thanet
Council, the people we're supposedly protesting to!!! : )

I think that what you need to realise Peter is that these councils tend to
made up of people with their heads up their own backsides who think that
they know best for everyone else and who thoroughly enjoy telling them what
to do. That covers the reasoning for their daft and
out-of-touch-with-the-community decisions, but the biggest problem is that
they will rarely (if ever) hold up their hands and admit that they got
something wrong and make a U-turn.

So, what's the answer? Well, the only way I see it is to publicly ridicule
these people (via the local press) so that they eventually realise that they
are making themselves look very stupid. That way they can then save face by
blaming someone else for it all, to enable them to wriggle out of any
responsibility for all the kerfuffle.

You think that the Town Hall works that way? It is ten years since I
worked in one but that idea would have made zero impact on them. For
some, the opposite.

I suggest that you deal with the sections that will deal with you and
protest to the ones that don't. Keep records for later amusment but
don't try to play one off against the other.

Simon.
