At about 1455hrs this afternoon, 11 police in a van and two cars (one of the cars being from the diplomatic protection group), blocked off the road between parliament and the peace campaigners in the square while the 11 criminals, apparently led by a sergeant steele, leapt into the tents despite continued protests from the campaigners that section 17 was only a power of entry for the purpose of arrest.

During the assault on the campaign, Brian Haw, Barbara Tucker and The Ninja Ant valiantly tried to prevent the continuing crimes by the police and eventually managed to force them to run away after Brian and Barbara arrested sergeant steele. steele, who appears to be the senior criminal at the scene, escaped with the aid of the other criminals and is currently unlawfully at large in the area around westminster.

Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of this man should 'inform the police'! (are you kidding?). He should not be approached as he is part of a much larger organised crime syndicate based at new scotland yard, and may be considered armed and dangerous, his mental capacity has not yet been fully established but his criminal intent has been established during this incident.

This form of illegal harassment will be well known to most protesters, and has continued on the Parliament Square Peace Campaigners over many years.

(Unusually, the bbc webcam recorded the incident, and more, with refreshes at 4-5 minute intervals rather than the more common 20 minute updates).
