Public meeting: Stand up for your freedom to protest! LSE, 2nd December

Gordon Brown plans to extend the restrictions on demonstrations near parliament to cover the whole country, claiming that this will simplify the work of the police. The current law totally bans spontaneous protests, requiring advance police permission, which allows the police to impose arbitrary limits on numbers and effectively act as political censors. The consultation proposes extending these rules to any protest anywhere, in the name of 'harmonisation'. The freedom to protest was won through hard struggle and if we want to keep it we must take a stand to say enough is enough. Come to a public meeting to plan a public response: we propose early January.

Public meeting
LSE room H102, Connaught House
2-4pm, Sunday 2nd December

Pakistan, Somalia and the media. Two protests in London on Saturday.

Arriving at Downing St, I am surprised by the number of media present to cover the demo. There must be at least 30 photographers and camera people for the protest against the imposition of martial law in Pakistan. They all seem to be huddled around one corner of the demonstration which numbers about 500. Have our tabloid editors suddenly experienced a huge change of heart in what they consider to be news? Are the concerns of the British Pakistani community now worth investigation for the first time ever? Are human rights and the behavior of our terror-war allies now a priority for our media?

If only….
