after the rather public humiliation of superintendent terry this week in court 
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/09/350716.html, barbara tucker was back outside downing street this afternoon, attracting crowds as she sang anti-war songs with fellow activist, charity. meanwhile, steve jago, whose own draconian bail conditions are likely to be lifted on tuesday in a further slap in the face to terry, stood near-by reading orwell's 1984.

demo outside downing street this afternoon
the three activists once again defied socpa legislation designed to free tony blair from the embarrassment of being publicly reminded of his war-crimes.
for the first time in months, police were conspicuous by their absence. the downing street diplomatic corps were there as usual of course, but no community support officers passed near, no foot-soldiers from charing cross arrived, no vans full of hired police thugs turned up, and the three brave protestors held their peaceful demonstration right outside downing street.
given all the intimidation, harrassment, and what has now been shown as unlawful actions by superintendent terry's charing cross gang in the past, it was a pleasant change to see the peaceful demo taking place in safety this afternoon.
the war is far from over, but a small battle has certainly been won, and today was proof of this.
