Since the old London "org" in Tottenham Court Road is being rebuilt, and the new "ideal org" in Queen Victoria Street is still a multi-million white elephant, we decided to picket the new "org" in Whitfield Street, close to Tottenham Court Road but a block behind the main road.

Six picketers turned up, (another suppressive joined us after the picket). We established ourselves across the street from the entrance of the "org" and started up on the boombox. There is practically no foot traffic on the street, but interestingly, practically everyone who did come past thanked us. There was one guy who claimed to be a local resident and asked us to stop as we were disturbing him. Since he said he wished somebody would kill all the Scientologists, I doubt if the Scientologists would want to claim him as a supportive member of the local community. We continued, observing perhaps ten people entering or leaving the "org" in the two hours we were there. There is also a small alleyway leading into the back of the "Org" from Tottenham Court Road, with a small "Dianetics" sign above the entrance, where they were trying to sell copies of "Dianetics".

If Whitfield Street is supposed to be their great success story, then the "Day Org" must be doing infinitely better than the "Foundation Org". In other words, they are not recruiting anybody in regular employment. The economic problems implied by this are obvious.
