Yard fury over Bush visit

The Met police "spin" in the Evening Standard more than any other paper.

I think the article below is getting people ready for some pretty heavy policing during Bush's visit, with the strap line "the Yanks made us do it", as the excuse!




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.
