MASKED, WHITE-OVERALLED PROTESTERS DEFY s.o.c.p.a. IN PARLIAMENT SQUARE!!!!

Sorry for the late posting but this was a story that had to go up!

On Wednesday a group of masked-up white-overalled political agitators assembled by Parliament. It is unclear as to whether or not this gathering arranged with the Police as none were present to clarify the situation. After various banner waving antics (that were possibly illegal) the participants (who may have been gathered illegally) marched (definitely illegal!!!) down towards Victoria Street before occupying Methodist Central Hall for some kind of rally. Both the gathering, march and rally were organised under the noses of the Police without any intervention! Yet again the SOCPA legislation lies in tatters! Another blatant violation by political hooligans, which should have every reader of the Daily Mail Shaking with fear!

And this is not the first time!

On a serious note, the protesters did have very important issues to raise with the government.

Issues which affect everyone

As Indymedia is all about protest, why wasn't the big pensioners lobby/demo covered in its own right, not just as a device to illustrate the absurdities of Socpa. Its a shame that Indymedia Uk and its supporters can't seem to break out of its own self-imposed ghetto very much, (the recent welfare demos which didn't get a centre column feature either is another case in point) and i say that with sadness, not anger, as the terrible death of Brad shows, Indymedia can and should mean something more.

Its not a case of 'Indymedia' covering more stuff like social issues. Everyone is Indymedia and with open publishing nothing is stopping you from covering whatever you think is important. I didnt know much about the issues behind the pensioners protest. Nor did I have time to interview anyone, so put a link to their site instead.
