There are guidelines here:
http://www.yourrights.org.uk/yourrights/the-right-of-peaceful-protest/marches-and-processions.html
The main problem is that we have no leader. Even this ride... many individuals want to make a memorial ride, it wasn't necessarily called by an individual who leads it.
The guidelines really show that the law needs a leader, but I recognise no leader amongst us. We collectively share a view that a memorial ride needs to happen, and upon a suggestion of the date have collectively agreed to be on the ride... but no leader told us to.
Without a leader/organiser we don't fall under those laws. And reading the guidelines it's clear that they are aimed at political demonstrations. We don't fall foul of any of the considerations the police use, there will be no damage to serious public disorder, serious damage to property, or serious disruption to the life of a community. So whilst we don't even fall under their definition of a march (no organiser) we also don't fall under the exclusions (no impact).
All we should definitely agree to do as individuals is to ensure that everyone who takes part is given relative safety in the group, and that we cause as little unnecessary disruption to the traffic in the area (keep a lane clear and keep moving where possible).
For the tweed ride we agreed to gather in a public space that didn't block the highway, once the route is shared (Eilidh's commute route) we should try and do the same afterwards... a meeting place that causes little disruption close to the starting point, and then a place to move onto afterwards to ensure we don't block up the whole of Notting Hill Gate (it's a Saturday... market day).
