See no protests, hear no protests…

November 11, 2003

From the BBC we learn that activists in London will be greatly restricted during Bush’s upcoming visit:

Jeremy Corbyn, MP for Islington North and a Stop the War activist, told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme: “We’ve had long discussions with the police and one gets the feeling that there is a bigger hand somewhere that is trying to prevent a march going along Whitehall and past Parliament Square.

“The Americans are actually running the security operation in London as well… I’m getting a bit alarmed about the degree of invasion of our capital by the Americans.

“The idea of closing off large parts of London to ensure that President Bush is taken well away from any protests or demonstrators seems a little insensitive and an enormous inconvenience to an awful lot of people.”
