Parliament Square Peace Camp display threatened...

WebCam Down to cover police attacks, as usual.
Moments ago, Brian Haw was threatened with arrest if he didn't reduce his display within half an hour. The BBC webcam covering the square is offline, and police are getting ready to attack.
Just as a Judicial Review of Brian's earlier unlawfull arrest, and subsequent prosecution while making a complaint over another officers assault resulting in a gash to Brian's cheek, was placed at the door of the CPS and Met, Superintendant Newman wades in to threaten arrest and possible theft of the Peace Campaign. Fellow supporters, Barbara Tucker and Charity Sweet are currently on way back to the square after attempting to serve the JR on others.
If you are able to get down to Parliament Square, I'm sure all support will be welcome.
Further updates will be given as soon as possible.

BBC Web Cam - Post Incident!
the police tracks having been covered by the BBC (UK's equivalent of a Ministry of Propaganda for government).
However, all is not well. The Ant, one of the dedicated and brave supporters staying in Parliament Square, has been abducted by the filth. Allegedly for calling them by their more common and descriptive name - nazi's.

Given the direction of our government and all those in parliament, this phrase (nazi) will soon be obsolete, a thing of the past, as the word nazi is replaced with 'uk parliamentary' or 'uk democracy'.
The Ant's solicitors have been trying to contact the custody suite to speak to him, but custody seems to be doing their usual scam of not answering the phone, so as not to allow him legal advice. Their number, if you are interested in contacting them, is 020-7321 6729 (direct custody suite line) or the more likely one to get an answer from, is the call centre number for the Met - 020-7730 1212 (and ask for Belgravia Custody - let them know if you have tried the custody number and no-one has answered, this should be recorded).
The arresting officer, Inspector Fox, has already falsly arrested/kidnapped The Ant, and others, on 26th February 2008 and this has been passed on to one of the custody officers, earlier tonight along with a mention that this was recorded on the custody suite record for one of the arrestees on that night, but it seems that Belgravia Police have been passed the baton for the Parliament instituted attacks on members of the Parliament Square Peace Campaign.
Earlier this evening as Barbara Tucker and Charity Sweet were trying to hand in a formal complaint against the unlawful actions of the police, the officer screwed up/ripped the complaint and threw it in the bin! Barbara and Charity were then forcibly ejected from the police station and even from the public steps in front of it by more of the thugs, while trying to explain (calmly and peacefully) that they were handing in a complaint that the officer screwed up and threw in the bin. But to no avail, the police had no interest other than in pushing and shoving the pair of lovely ladies out into the street. I suppose this is Commissioner Ian Blair's new complaints procedure in action! (albeit probably not-so-new).
God bless, The Ant.

His text message this morning: "At thomas hospital not in a good way. very violent police." He then returned to the square around 0820 this morning 'shocked' by his traumatic ordeal at the hands of the Butchers of Belgravia.
All this the week before his court hearings in oxford. (this seems to be part of the current plan - that a week before any court trials/hearings, the police will be arresting members of the Parliament Square Peace Campaign to cause as much damage as possible).
It also appears that he was denied access to his lawyers throughout the night, if confirmed this would be a very serious breach of the codes that police are required to abide by...
.... sorry did I just fall into the trap of thinking that the police obey ANY LAW!!?!?! I must have had a mad moment - since when does the Met abide by law, any law?!
