Drivers to demonstrate around Parliament.

Because of the way SOCPA legislation is worded it is unlikely that fuel protesters will be stopped by police under that particular law when they stage a juggernaut go slow around Parliament Square at noon on Wednesday.

Other sorts of protesters can be arrested for merely holding up a simple banner peacefully in the SOCPA zone, instead of holding up traffic as the fuel protesters intend to do. As reported in the press, Captain Gatso said his group MAD was committed to disrupting Mr Brown's journey to Parliament.

Of course, this is all about the price of fuel, despite the fact that UK is not the most expensive for fuel either in the EU or the World. Norway is the most expensive in the World and UK is only fifth in the EU. The driver protest in Pariament Square is just part of a wider UK protest to be held on Saturday, which is likely to interfere with contractual relationships bigtime, animal rights protesters and police please take note.
