Talkin Bout a Revolution

[Jan Klimkowski]

The rozzers are renewing their calls to ban protest marches:

Scotland Yard will consider asking the Home Secretary to ban further student marches should the levels of violence which have marred the recent protests continue, Britain's most senior police officer said yesterday.

Yesterday the Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson spoke about a "sustained and serious level of violence". He said banning students from marching was a power he had not ruled out using. "It is one of the tactics we will look at and something we will keep under review, and if we think it is the right thing to do then we will do it," he said.

Meanwhile, on BBC2's Newsnight yesterday, Tory MP Patrick Mercer argued repeatedly that protest was a fundamental British right, and protest marches should be allowed.

I suspect that deep political games are being played.

For allegations that Mercer served in the Force Research Unit in Northern Ireland, see here:

Mercer vehemently denies the allegations.

Do They believe Khaos will serve their deepest interests?
