The Law Lords have decided with the government in regards to the anti-war protester outside Parliment, he has to get permission to protest just like the rest of us.

Quelle surprise!
On a political level - people should have the right to be irritants.
Well, we get more totalitarian than ever, and nobody does anything. The story as it has always been, is, and will always be I guess.
what you'd like to do to him is far worse than what he's ever done to us
he doesn't harass people, infact he shys away from people, he's a nice fella me and luby bought him and his friends a cup of tea in the middle of winter for the fine work he is doing
lets hope he sticks it out
You have to wonder whether he would have been allowed to continue if he hadn't been protesting about Bliar.
Does anyone else see something very, very wrong with this?
Did you read my second point?
Ever heard of the term 'tongue in cheek'?
Beginning of a terrible end to life on earth for far too many of us, I fear.
WE can prevent it... it just takes that those of us with the will and kowledge, and the desire to change things stand up and do it.
However, the system itselfs with the mass media is well adapted to subdueing people and keeping them dumb and down... we have to break free and let others know they can to.
Count your blessings, whilst you stll have them.
Er, yes, but we're not. And frankly its a bit stupid to suggest that making protesters get permission before holding a protest (nb protests are not banned) is in some way kind of equivalent to China's repression of the Tibetians or a dozen other problems in the world today.
See it wouldn't surprise me if the UK ends up like that... They are slowly erroding our rights. What the fuck has an anti-war protestor got to do with terrorism? All he is doing is having his say about this bullshit war.
so i need permission to stand on the street then and enjoy the sights of london?
because i might get in the way of someone.....
what about if you do ask to protest, say about the police and the government PEACEFULLY, and they say no. What do they expect you to do? if it was me i'd arrange a violent protest......
allowing all law abding peaceful protest without question is something a democratic nation does, as it gives no reason to hold violent protest - if you remove that freedom to protest peacefully, you might as well tell the police to get ready for violence they're acting like children and unethically, you might as well
my point was whether you are blocking the street, if this is enjoying the sights, as in plural, then you are moving about. If your a one man/woman protestor on a march, as in walking around with a snadwich board on you, then you dont have to ask permission because places like Starbucks do that.
But if you are standing right outside a particular place, blocking up the street with a sign or banner and creating a nuisance then you should be moved along and shifted, or get permission to cause that nuisance.
