Did anyone see it last night? If so, what did you think?

This part was quite disturbing, along with how little progress has actually been made in New Orleans.

The part where JC brought their dinner (a cow) into their camp site was the funniest bit IMO.

 

yeah, great tv...tho, makes you wonder how much was staged..?

 

Staged or not, (and I know they were taking the piss but still...) being Gay or a Democrat shouldn't mean that one should have stones thrown at them. They were lucky (alledgedly) to escape unhurt.

Do you think they ate the squirrel?

 

not sure about the squirrel - but what about the cow..???

 

Im sure its staged, find a car in a morning, insurance etc etc. Even so, it was funny.

NO was shocking, how can they let such a place remain in such a state whilst they spend billions on 'defence' all around the world.

 

The cow came later. At one point they were going to cook both.

 

I pulled up behind a car that had a sticker on the bumper that said 'Jesus loves you but everyone else thinks you are an ***hole' . Having to explain this to my mother (in the passenger seat) who is a strict Catholic was difficult. I must admit that I felt like getting out and speaking to them about this as indiscriminate insulting is not what free speech is about. Behave like an idiot, get treated like one.

 

Genius, where can I get one?

Dunc

 

talked to my mate last night who is an Policeman. Whilst he initially thought the antics was amusing, he also pointed out that it was amazingly stupid and if done in the country they would be arrested immediately.

 

And beaten by the police!

First person in court for holding a "demonstration" on their own in the SOCPA Designated Area.
The first person to be arrested for holding a "demonstration" on their own without prior written permission from the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, within the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 Designated Area, is due to appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court around 10am Wednesday 29th December 2005.

We think that Barbara Tucker was arrested on Monday 19th December 2005, near Parliament carrying a banner saying "I am not the Serious Organised Criminal".

She seems to be the first person to have been arrested and charged under the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 section 132(1) (c)

132 Demonstrating without authorisation in designated area (1) Any person who-
[snip]

(c) carries on a demonstration by himself in a public place in the designated area,



According to Section 136 of SOCPA, this could attract the penalty of a criminal record (DNA, fingerprints etc. retained forever) and a potential fine of up to £ 1,000

(2) A person guilty of an offence under section 132(1)(b) or (c) is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale.
How can one unarmed person, on their own, pose any threat or hinderance to the operations of the Houses of Parliament whatsoever ?

This brings the number of people we know about, arrested so fa under SOCPA, to 22, although there may actually be more than this.
