Amazing, how Gloria Arroyo can smile and at the same breadth strangle and starve

WE NEED EVERYONE MONDAY!

This is too important to have gone off the bottom of the page. Come to the DEMONSTRATION ON MONDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2-8pm IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE -
see www.parliament-square.org.uk.
Stop the Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill from going
The Serious Organised Crime and Police Bill is going to be debated in Parliament next Monday 7th January from 2.30pm.

THIS LEGISLATION WILL REMOVE BRIAN HAW'S PEACE PROTEST FROM PARLIAMENT SQUARE AND COULD STOP ALL PROTEST WITHIN 1KM OF PARLIAMENT. IT IS A SEVERE CONTRAVENTION OF THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACT AND A FUNDAMENTAL ATTACK ON DEMOCRACTIC PRINCIPLES.

DEMONSTRATION ON MONDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2-8pm IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE -
see www.parliament-square.org.uk.

At this stage MPs can make amendments and the Bill will probably be voted through to its next stage in the House of Lords. Read more >>
