Protesters arrested outside Parliament

Two more protestors have been arrested inside the censorship zone around Parliament.

Recently, the British government passed a law preventing anyone from protesting within 1km (why metric?) of the British parliament. They passed the law to enable them to move on an anti-war protestor who has been camped outside the British parliament since the start of the Iraq war. Unfortunately for them, a judge said the law didn't apply to him because he was there before it.

So it didn't achieve its main purpose but it has served them well in preventing protestors putting off the tourists and spoiling MP's view as they go to work. It's like the three Labour monkeys - Hear no Evil, See no Evil and Shit on England.

Anyway, the police have reluctantly arrested two more OAP's for unauthorised protesting. They were ringing bells to remember the estimated 100,000 people killed in Iraq since the start of the war.

The police man apparently said "I wish I could join you. I wish I could do what you're doing. This is filthy. This is very hard for all of us."

Since the law was introduced, 27 people are facing charges for unauthorised protesting.
