Giving Peace a Chance ?

[DodgyAgent]

Good points from Wendigo and SJ

The most disturbing case was the first, being prosecuted for reading aloud a list of the fallen British in Iraq does seem a draconic act .


With the tax issue , we have to bear in mind that the chap did offer to pay the portion that would have went to the millitary ie 10 per cent of his tax, to be sent to the NHS , which sounds reasonable.

From the article...

Mr Barker, who helps run his son's organic farm, said afterwards that he would probably send the money to a government department that did not have any dealings with military expenditure, such as the NHS. "I don't think they will go so far as to send me to prison, they will either accept the money that way or just send the bailiffs round.''

And did the relatives of those killed give this woman permission to use these names to help her to put her political views forward?
Anyone who is associated with being a vegetarian is an attention seeker, so she gets no sympathy from me.

But the real issue here is that the control freaks of NL are tyring their upmost to stifle any dissenting opposition to their policies.

Surely DA it is not appropiate to charge her under the Serious Organised Crimes Act, introduced by NL in April, whichin turn was designed to get rid of a protestor as described below.

PS No I dont know if they had permission to read out the lists of Iraqi dead, but as that was in the thousands it would have been rather difficult to arrange, yet somehow I doubt the Iraqis would have objected.




Extract

After a three-hour hearing, she was found guilty of breaching Section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005; she was given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay £100 costs.

The law, which came into power in April, makes it illegal to hold an unauthorised protest within 1km of Parliament Square. It was introduced partly to get rid of a long-term and noisy peace protester, Brian Haw, whose one-man vigil outside the gates of the Palace of Westminster was considered a nuisance.

Ms Evans was arrested, along with follow demonstrator, Milan Rai, in October as they stood next to the Cenotaph, close to the gated entrance to Downing Street. Mr Rai, 40, a writer, was reading out the names of dead Iraqi civilians.

The pair had been intending to ring a bell for each of the names read out. Mr Rai, who had spoken to the police in advance about his protest, was not charged.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't this another dreadful New Labour legislation c*ckup, in that it did not cover people who had started their protest before it was enacted, thereby leaving Brian Haw to continue his protest unabated?

Would be a tad ironic if that were the case, is Mr Haw still protesting, I havent been in London for yonks, so does anybody know?

Alfred .. how is Belgium these days well apart from producing female suicide bombers?

[Rebecca Loos]

I don't think the UK is in any position to lecture anyone on the home-grown production of suicide bombers, Chico, do you?
