Yard fury over Bush visit
By Patrick Sawer, Evening Standard
White House security demands covering President George Bush's controversial
state visit to Britain have provoked a serious row with Scotland Yard.
American officials want a virtual three-day shutdown of central London in a
bid to foil disruption of the visit by anti-war protestors. They are
demanding that police ban all marches and seal off the city centre.
But senior Yard officers say the powers requested by US security chiefs
would be unprecedented on British soil. While the Met wants to prevent
violence, it is sensitive to accusations of trying to curtail legitimate
protest.

Well I'm going to be there on the 20th on the Stop the
War Coalition/Muslim Association of Britain "Stop
Bush" March -along with tens of thousands of others.

It just shows how terrified our rulers are of protest
and how much these demonstrations matter.
Demo leaves Malet Street 2.00 pm for a march to
Trafalgar Square. Hope to see other Brit rhizomers
there!
