I was just on my way to a church function when I saw police talking to Brian Haw as I drove around Parliament Square. I stopped to try and ask what was happening. Three policemen came over to me and said they weren't required to tell me but I could ask Brian and Barbara later. The acting sergeant then told me to move on. I asked why and if I was doing anything wrong and he told me to move on again. I tried to ask why again and he called a policeman over saying "Do a check on this man - he won't move on" I said I would and to my shame I moved on. They were very intimidating however.

From what I could see they were trying to search the tents, but they didn't have a warrant or were refusing to produce it.
