After the mornings delivery of parcels containing genetically modified crops ('time bombs') to government offices, people gathered outside parliament, holding a press conference, handing out leaflets, parading a large 'Terrorist' banner through the streets and presenting Emmeline Pankhurst with a 'terrorist sash' in recognition that the suffragettes could have been tried for terrorism under the new laws had they existed then.

NB the police folder with the Reclaim The Streets sticker tape on (wonder what's in there?)... which, if RTS were ever to be proscribed under the new terrorism act would land the copper in serious trouble (as even wearing tee-shirts with such an organisations name could be a terrorist crime!)

After the actions outside parlament the protestors moved off carrying the banner down past Downing street, and were followed by police to a local pub where the police maintained a guard outside while people relaxed inside.
