I had a 3am start to police a demonstration by British buliding workers complaining about the lack jobs for them at the olympics.When the got to P SQUARE we moved them on sharpish whilst the Tamils protested!. The Tamils<br />maybe a peacefull group but the other day when police cleared them off officers were assualted. One got a broken leg another lost four teeth. So much resources from the borough have been taken The SMT must be making the excususes up already as the borough was the top performing borough in the met and they must have completed applications for promotion/gucchi jobs at the yard or super dooper squad based on their leadership at the borough!! that caused itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054760004075742620.post-66189586089625862022009-05-21T14:37:13.504+01:002009-05-21T14:37:13.504+01:00Noddy,

Look at the Iraq war, that was meant to spread democracy around the Middle East. It hasn't happened as the politics of the Mid East are too complex and convoluted.<br /><br />When we interfer we create more far reaching and long lasting problem.

Noddy ...Dandelion - Another impracticable law ... <br /><br />Noddy - Point taken, difference being Burma is not a democratic country. <br /><br />I can't see the protest you speak of being anything but peaceful and requiring more than a small police presence. The Tamil's could have been accomodated elsewhere if they wanted to - but choose to maximise publicity for their cause at public cost and inconvenience.<br /><br />In the past they have done flash protests at short notice because their issues were not on the news. Well I've seen plenty the past couple of weeks on Sky but they go on. <br /><br />Nothing against their right to protest - just the impact it's having elsewhere financially. See today the cost of G20 was 7.2 million and rising. The commish didn't say it was coming out of his budget so he's looking for the home office to pay up. I suspect the Tamil gig will actually cost more if it doesn't conclude soon.Stressed Out Cophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09822426269877730126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054760004075742620.post-68196800740510383092009-05-19T15:06:00.000+01:002009-05-19T15:06:00.000+01:00There are some causes worth getting out on the str...There are some causes worth getting out on the street for, even <A HREF="http://uisgebeathaagusleann.blogspot.com/2009/05/seething.html" REL="nofollow">overseas</A>!<br /><br />I belong to the human race and blinkering ourselves to our national borders is, well, myopic.McNoddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10433976270647799322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2054760004075742620.post-14678258156474788342009-05-19T13:16:00.000+01:002009-05-19T13:16:00.000+01:00Well yes, and I have to agree you have a point abo...Well yes, and I have to agree you have a point about overseas causes.
