Thats up to you. If you don't want to come because it'll risk your job, then
you shouldn't come. Otherwise, how would anybody know you're a civil servant
if you keep your head down?

The meeting's in a pub, its not in some knock 5 times, roll up your trouser
leg and say the secret password private club.

This is not related to Colin's email:
If someone's sole reason for coming to the meeting is to be disruptive or
argue about the cards, than obviously I'd rather they didn't show up, because
this is a relaunch meeting for a campaign group, and it'd be a bit
disrespectful of everyone's time, as well as self important to think that the
most important use of our collective time is to argue with a single person,
when there's 5 million other folks in Scotland, and 58 million in the UK as a
whole. Its also a bit arrogant - I'm sure you are a unique and special
individual, but maybe we have thought of and already discarded those points.
