when is a flag a terrorist flag? the answer, it seems, depends on who and where you are! to a tamil student in parliament square, it is, and they're arrested (and fined?!). but if you stand outside new scotland yard and challenge the police to arrest you and test it in court, suddenly it magically becomes the tamil eelam national flag and is NOT proscribed. murky goings-on at parliament square.

Rev Billy and his choir were in Cambridge today, and joined the no tesco on Mill Road campaign. After an initial sermon at the old Wilco site on Mill Road, where a new Tesco is opposed by a local campaign, the festivities moved to the humongous Tesco on New Market road, where he preached by the tills. Security got a bit twitchy, and the sermon continued outside.
