A warning for anyone travelling up the up the M6 tomorrow.

I was on the way to a show today and heard they are planning a protest on motorbikes on the M6 tomorrow lunch time. I'm sorry I only heard the end of the item but so I don't know any other details times or anything but it is definitely in Staffordshire so be warned if you meet them there will be a lot of motorbikes travelling slowly.
