Is this the end for Brian Haw?

All the placards are gone. It was just Brian on his own today. It had become quite a tourist attraction.
Good luck to those who go down tomorrow.

I'd like to know exactly what kind of 'security threat' they think he is.....

I'm not sure if the ruling is immediate but I'd presume so. Has ayone seen him today?
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you and then you win.

Brian Haw has won.

How ridiculous that Blair's cronies have to send 30 policemen to remove his dangerous placards while they continue to enrich themselves by selling more weapons and instruments of torture to unsavoury governments abroad!

How well Haw handled the police who, in the middle of the night turned up in their yellow coats to remove the eye-sore placards. Haw is a symbol of decent Britain. More so than any flag or monument or yellow-coats.

He is a "security threat" because he sits outside Parliament with his vigil and placards that alert us to the horror of war, while reminding people in the house of how they have abandoned all principle and how they are reviled by decent people. What an eyesore! Let's pass a law because we can! Haw is a beacon of all that is wrong with our democracy

God, how I hate Blair. This from a life-long supporter of Labour. Not anymore. Let's build a new party.

Blair lost the moment he had to tear down Brian Haw's placards.

He is allowed to display 3 metres width of placards and the yellow-coats left this much. It is not all lost. Haw's vigil continues.

The fuckers. This isn't the end though, its just the beginning of something far bigger.

Yeah, the Serious Organised Crime Act is no doubt being geared up for use across the capital and country now this move has been executed.

We're doing it.:)

Brian has won in a way. Of course they now aim to remove him and his last few placards. Any pretence that the war in Iraq is about 'Western values' such as the 'right' to freedom of expression and peaceful dissent has been shot to pieces.

The 'War on Terror' is, as Brian points out in his more lucid moments, a war of terror, and is not confined to Iraq.
 
Is this a product of living in a country that has exported death to so many countries and threatens to export it more countries that I completely omitted to mention that the purpose of Mr Brian Haw's protest was to protest against the war in Iraq and Afghanistan? Somehow one forgets we are seated at the centre of the maelstrom. Blair wants to take his (read ruling class') new civilizing mission to the rest of the world on the grounds of humanitarian intervention. Mr Haw (sir!) is a threat to that! Ideas rule the world. Our rulers rule by consent only. If you agree that Blair and Bush have gone too far... retract your consent. Simple. They can only keep passing new laws that undermine our civil liberties because we accept that. Step up to the plate and say you do not accept the anti-terrorism laws because they are undemocratic. This is our right in a democracy.
 
Sir Ian Blair does it again...sends 78 police in evict one man and then lies about the cost....£7K what bollocks it eas actually over £27K !

Do you realise that this money could have been used on broughs to fund decent operations targeting dealers, robbers and burglary ! You know..crimes that affect everybody !

This after £100K was spent investigating Kate Moss for what ? No result just a waste of money. Sir Ian needs to look at his agenda.

No...he needs to resign actually.
