brummie, 08-05-2009 05:59

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.

have a listen.

peace
