Scottish police discriminate ageist Anti-Scientology protests.

Anonymous protester
In January a internet movement known as anonymous released a youtube video declaring war on The Church of Scientology, The war on Scientology started of using tactics such as Prank calls, Black faxing and DDoS attacks, The attacks up on Scientology where replaced by a set of peaceful protests, At every Scientology centre, Hundreds of black clothed, masked protesters turned up, Anonymous protested on February 2nd, march 15th, april 12th, may 10th, with success.
On may 12th Anonymous hit the headlines when a 15 year old boy was issued with a court summons for calling Scientology a cult, Civil rights groups and many others protested that this was an infringement of his freedom of speech, On the 23rd of may all chargers where dropped, and the London protesters where once again aloud to use the world cult.
In Scotland, Scientology has wrapped the police round its little finger. Multiply cases of police censoring Anonymous protesters, and asking them to remove the world cult, from all the signs, If protesters refuse they are told they will be charged with a "breach of the peace". On the 7th of June, a group of photographers, angered at the way Scientology uses cameras to harass critics, organised a flash mob, in Glasgow city centre, The group of around 15, turned up at 3pm and took photographs of the Scientologists "free stress tests" . 20 minutes later two police officers turned up, They asked the group to move on, When the organiser refused, they took him aside, and searched him under the "misuse of drugs act", This was not only unjustified, but a form of harassment.
There is a world wide protest by anonymous planed for the 14ths of june, the normal protest spot is hunters square, but the church of Scientology requested a permit for this spot & date before the protesters submitted there request, In a hope to stall the protest, the protesters but in yet an other permit but this was also declined and they are being forced to protest over 1 mile away from there normal spot, The reasoning behind this is "Having the two opposing sides so close together could be hassle", although the protesters have protested outside the Scientology's "church" for the last 4 months with no "hassle"
Personally, I think this is a horrible breach of civil rights, and has to be dealt with

Scientologist Frausters & their mates in the UK Police Service.....

Its fruit n nut founder L.Ron Hubbard, a fanatical science fiction writing waster who couldn't even write a good story, dreamt up this Scientology farce as a get rich quick and sod everyone in the process, we already know a statement made by him about getting rich quick by setting up your own religion/cult.
We have showbiz celebrity nutters like Tom Cruise, John Travolta and other actors who's careers are failing, becoming high ranking members of this evil cult, getting rich by suckering in fools who are easily brainwashed by these stalkers who will spend days following those who speak out about them, dissapprove of them or are not easily taken in by their lies.
Now the police in the UK are strong arming it against those protestors who see Scientology for what it really is: A sickening cult, full of brainwashed deadbeats who corrupt our families, our children with their scheming lies and deceit.
Do the UK Police Service now condon fraud? Is it now ok to defraud others, if you call yourselves a religious organisation? How many members of the UK Police Service have become members of Scientology?
The UK used to be a place we were able to bring our objections and protest against what we saw as being something that was wrong and deceitful, but now on the streets the police seem to be more like robocop than a normal everyday police officer serving the community against crime, but these days the police arn't interested in beating crime, their more interested in bashing a protestor.
I fully support those from Anonymous and all that they do in exposing Scientology for what it remains: A VICIOUS EVIL FRAUDULENT MONEYMAKING SCHEMING CULT.
To those who are Scientology whackos, I say "Do you know Ming the Merciless, Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers or any of the following aliens, Daleks?" Well if your that idiotic in believing Scientology then you may as well believe that Daleks exist.......
