the report on the right to protest on radio 4

only on for another week,

 http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00k4g57/The_Report_07_05_2009/

the idiot who runs nectu is there, funny enough does not support use of section 44 on protesters, also the idiot lawyer who is employed by corporates against protesters for crap injunctions which injunct a few names people and then anyone who looks at pieces of paper.

needless to say the coppers do not view environmental protesters as much of a worry but more worrying the the barrister twat who is now openly going after protesters. seems like some should be going after the barrister twat.

have a listen.

peace

Yeah, I listened to this and it was quite interesting to hear about the way injunctions can be made by presenting a lie about an individual, that doesn't then need to be brought as a charge against someone. I'm thinking about the Radley-Lakes local who had an injunction taken out on him by saying he'd driven his car directly at security guards. He says this is a lie. No charge, no arrest, no conviction, no way of clearing yourself. Timothy L. Crut-whatever his name is (scummy lawyer), didn't even bother defending that first lie on the radio.

Another point that came across (and I think this is really why the NETCU boss came on the programme) was the warning that if 'Ordinary people' mix or are seen talking to radical activists, they'll get tarred with the same brush and end up on Netcu's list of domestic extremists. They want to divide protestors into the safe ones and the effective ones. As there is a growing number of ordinary people standing up to protest against State policies, I think it's down to those already active to show that the issues they care about are more important than being on a list. It may all backfire on the cops. If, as they want, we all end up on various lists of ID info, photo-databases etc, people may stop giving a damn about being added to one more. When they stop being afraid, people take action.
