The British now live under a totalitarian regime so extreme that they wouldn't bat an eyelid if they woke up in Pyongyang....it's time the United Nations took a look at us....

The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act has been challenged several times in court under Human Rights Legislation, but so far the challenges have failed because the Act states that after receiving adequate notification of a protest (normally six days) the police MUST authorise.

This new development is a contravention of the Act and a very mysterious and sinister development. Parliament Square itself has been fenced off for weeks and the original reasons given by the Greater London Authority have now passed. My enquiries to the GLA have been met by silence, but thankfully a group of people took it upon themselves to liberate the Square this afternoon, and it is once again open for the enjoyment of Londoners and the for the needs of peaceful protestors.

The march should go ahead next week in defiance. Can we find some Buddhist monks?

rikki, london,

Sir
Tell me something I missed. Do you want the groups that are all set up to go for war to march????
I thank you

Susannah, do you really think that Gordon is going to call for a general election if he is not 100% sure that he is going to win? However if he is I am sure that he will do it. God stay with Britain!
We're living in a dictatorship. Sad thing is that most people don't realize it. They are too busy with paying their ridiculously expensive mortgages, doing long ours at work and paying their taxes so the rest of the society (unemployed and happy in their 'stupidity') can live out of it. Only people who really get anything out of it are the bosses of international banks and cooperations and our government the servant of theirs.

Daria, Sheffield,

We are slowly being turned into a Communist State, by this Labour Government. Our only hope is that Gordon Brown calls for a General Election and we can get rid of this insanity, once and for all.

It would seem that the police have made the situation in UK equal to that in Burma so marchers should have the courage of their convictions and march anyway. After all that would be to show solidarity with the Burmese people.

Now what Britain needs is a few 100,000 Buddhist monks.

Another step in curbing our freedoms. Looks like Bin Laden is winning after all.

I remember several student marches in London when the rules were interpreted in precisely this way, actually.
