Reasons To Join ROT
ROT has also been asked why protesters should join ROT, and will post these REASONS one by one to give you a chance to respond to each of them.
If you are not already a member, please consider becoming a ROT supporter. Life Membership costs £10. See http://www.rolandouttoday.eu/Membership/ for more details. (Please use the paying a friend option, so ROT gets the full £10.) Donations are also welcome.
If you do not use PayPal, use the email address there to explain and ROT will find a solution which works for you,
Reason 1. It is a totally peaceful, legal – and very Charlton – form of protest.
(Yes, ROT did inadvertently break a local byelaw by failing to get permission from the Mayor before our first canvassing visit, but the necessary permit is now in place.)

Reason 2. It takes the protests to Roland’s home town where he cannot ignore our presence.
It thus reaches parts other protest groups do not attempt to reach. They may have other important objectives, such as engaging the British media in our struggle – but we all want Roland Out, so let’s cooperate, not compete.8 -

I'm told that CARD aren't backing ROT, why is this?, if true?0
-
Reason 3. There is support for this rather eccentric approach to protest from the Sint-Truiden locals.
Of course, not everyone agreed with ROT’s message when we were canvassing a few weeks ago, but many did and were genuinely interested.

It isnt true, its bullshit, a number of CARD members are also members of ROT and planning to travel to Belgium.The_President said:I'm told that CARD aren't backing ROT, why is this?, if true?
Sorry its not the reply you wanted

Luckily there was a question mark or two otherwise I would have thought that B20 was having yet another dig at CARDThe_President said:I'm told that CARD aren't backing ROT, why is this?, if true?

Although we can run a list of up to thirty-five candidates, we will have only one. The candidate's name will be made known one month before the ballot, to help build momentum in the run-up to election day.1

How does not naming the candidate help build momentum ?2 -

My guess is we should think of "Lord Buckethead" who stood against Theresa May last election as another example of getting publicity by being anonymous? Except that it appears ROT's strategy is to reveal the name 1 month before the election on 14 October, having first had a period of anonymity.Covered End said:

Wow, if ROT were to announce the candidacy of Lord Buckethead that would be a coup.N01R4M said:

[Edit - it might be worth contacting him to see if he'd say a few words of support. Might help make it press worthy. Perhaps a tweet or two in his direction.]2 -
Nice idea @Stig but there is a small snag. Like Denmark, Belgium has laws against wearing anything in public which obscures your identity!Stig said:

In that case try BoJo, he'd surely be top for a gig like that.N01R4M said:

D'othing my cap to all involved in this.
Including the 'incognito candidate'.
With another false dawn of 'this week' announced folks are getting twitchy & want something to happen.
Fabulous.
Keep it up :-D4 -
Reason 4. ROT’s activities are designed to really get up Roland’s nose – we owe him that much, don’t we?9

Not to mention the certainty he would doubtless expect to be paid many times the contents of ROT's coffers and the Protest Fund combined for a personal appearance...
Back to the drawing board, methinks.2 -
This takes me back, way back. I saw them at the Crystal Palace Bowl as part of an 'alternative royal wedding' festival (Charles and Di?) There was a bloke in the crowd running round naked. At my young age this was an enormous highlight.Ferryman said:

Apologies to ROT for derailing the thread1 -
An 'ENORMOUS' highlight you say??????
:-q2 -
I’m only a tiny chimney sweep
But I’ve got an enormous brush2 -
Reason 5. Roland said CAFC is only 1½ % of his business interests and hence only 1½ % of his time spent.
ROT intends to make it 100% of his business concerns, and concentrate his mind on getting shot of us asap.12 -
Phew! Glad somebody's got this thread back on track!
1½ % of a 40h working week is only - err - 36 minutes?
By the time he's approved the latest economy cuts (sorry, changes in the interest of the environment), dealt with all the new contracts (ha, ha!) and the multitude of other jobs done by our former hard working (cough) CEO, no wonder he has no time to deal with the real issue of the week, f***ing well selling the club.4 -
Maybe he saves all the 36mins up and gives us 2hrs 24mins in one lump at the end of each month.
Gets lots more rivets counted that way2 -
Reason 6. How do you turn the man who has it all into Billy Nomates? Make him a figure of derision.
ROT believes it has the material to do this – it just needs a bit more of the means to deliver it.
3 more reasons tomorrow!10 -
