| you are lucky you were not arrested as many others were. Apparently the police staged 'Pre crime raids on anyone they suspected of planning any form of protest. There is an appalling example on youtube which shows around two dozen police and secret service personnel descending on a couple of 68 year old pensioners and another middle-aged man who were planing to do some street theatre called off with their heads. Obviously these people were not a security threat and this kind of over the top fascism was a complete over reaction and a worrying development in the politics of this supposedly free and democratic nation. The arrest were made in what was described as a pre emptive strike, based on some kind of 'pre crime law' used to prevent and arrest this couple of pensioners and their friend for conspiracy to course a 'breach of the peace'. Facebook in line with its capitulations over democracy and freedom restrictions imposed by china, removed a large number of protest group pages, apparently facebook being involved in freedom and democracy taking hold in the middle east are not allowing people in our democracy to protest or organise in the same way. Democracy without freedom of expression, freedom to demonstrate,freedom to converse and organise is not democracy its fascism/totalitarianism and those that have not found themselves restricted politically, socially or otherwise seem not to have noticed and by the time they wake up and smell the **** coming down it will be to late. |
