Carols in Parliament Square

Rollem said:
there were some coppers, but not many. i counted 2..and there were way over the road...

The only ones i saw were the ones standing in the gateway of Westminster, and they are ALWAYS there, 24 hours. Compare this to any political demonstration which are normally swamped with police

Perhaps the Police didn't see carol singing outside an empty building as a political protest or a threat to public security?

Maybe it's not about the building, empty or not, but more about testing the limits of the recently introduced legislation that allows for 'exclusion zones'.

It seems to have been done without the usual trappings of a Sinn Fein march from A to B (balaclava and army surplus jacket)

Welcome to the 21st Century chucky.

Yeah. Best not bother testing and pushing the limits of a new law that challenges heavy-handed anti-democratic legislation, eh?

Far better to stay at home and sneer from the sidelines, innit?

:rolleyes:

So what are you doing to highlight and publicise these shitty new laws? Anything?
 
I'm really glad it went well. I would have loved to been able to come along but had prior commitments. Anyway, well done everyone who turned up. :)

No nothing at all.

what law's that then, that challenges "heavy-handed anti-democratic (sic) legislation"?
 
It'll be interesting to see what happens next
I guess we can all protest in the exclusion zone whenever we want now as long as we sing carols as well
(actually probably not :mad: )
