Last year it emerged that police have already been handed ‘Chinese-style’ powers to enter private-homes and seize political posters during the London games.
The measures passed by the Government will allow officers and Olympics officials to enter homes and shops near official venues to confiscate protest material.
The powers were introduced to preserve the monopoly of official advertisers on the London 2012 site and would allow advertising posters or hoardings placed in homes to be removed.
The law was drawn so widely, however, that it includes ‘ non-commercial material’ – which could extend its reach to include legitimate campaign literature.
Unquote.
Now, I am usually at the top of the queue to throw scorn on political protests because they serve no good and the participants always look like complete losers that shouldn’t be listened to anyway.
But, giving our already anti people Police the power to remove “Cuba Libre” from a house is just over the top.
YOUR Parliament voted this in last year, but the papers were more interested in crap like X factor.
We just need a coup, PLEASE.
This election can’t come soon enough. The problem is, the Blue party will get in, and they are just as bad/inexperienced/young/stupid/thick. The 3rd party is just a noisy neighbour, the other parties can’t whistle up the money to compete.
