Illegal protest??? assembly, even to protest is our right....so long as
it is nonviolent. Boy it ticks off the authorities when people do it
though.
Too right they don't like it! The government here tried to prevent an
anti-war rally scheduled for Saturday in Hyde Park in London, saying the
protest would 'damage the grass'. The organisers threatened to hold the
rally in the Mall, outside Buckingham Palace, instead. The government
decided Hyde Park's grass would be OK after all.
We really have to keep an eye on the governments we elect!
