Today at the peoples assembly in parliament square,direct action was taken to redecorate the statue of Churchill with a vest sign saying "Bring our troops home and on the back it read honour the soldiers", the point was made of respecting the soldiers of our forces,but not respecting the polliticians who send us into illegal wars.
The first set of diplomatic support group police who came said the sign was tatty, so a smarter version was produced,and re hung.Then another set of police turned up and found they were in a minority as most assembled around them liked the sign.
They seemed very reluctant to arrest,perhaps as this would attract more media,
