State of Emergency

STATE OF EMERGENCY seeks to highlight and take direct action against the causes and effects of the War on Terror. We stand in solidarity against military and economic oppression by defending ourselves against the ever increasing domination of the state. We recognize that the state of emergency in which we live will continue for as long as our obedience enables them to control us.

Will SOCPA spread all over the country like an ACPO cancer?
The Home Office has thoughtfully published a crucial paper for the future of democratic protest in Britain with its consultation period over Christmas and the New Year and a faulty file extension making it difficult to download.... Please respond, replies must be in by 17th January 2007.
Here's a brief summary of what they say

1) We want to tighten powers on peaceful assembly NATIONWIDE!
2) Protesters are all thugs / scum who hate democracy
3) Damn, we forgot to ban marches first time round!
4) MPs need to get to work and hippies might get in the way
5) We are scared of the 'terrorists' too
6) We 'need to ensure that ALL groups have the proper opportunity to protest at the seat of the elected UK parliament', however...
7) Parliament square is for tourists - not plebs like you!
We have grounds to treat the 1km around it seperately from the rest of the country
9) Having to apply for prior permission to protest isn't prohibited by the ECHR
10) We might make an exemption for 'small' demonstrations, but then again there might be several simultaneous demos so they will have to be VERY small.
11) We might just make the law the same for everywhere, because... (see 1)
12) IF (and only if) you support the exclusion zone (and other parliament centric restrictions) please write and tell us where you would like to see protest restricted next



Most recent Indymedia article detailing all this UK wide SOCPA stuff
Preserving disorder: freedom to protest and the future of SOCPA
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/11/386033.html

The current law on demonstrations around parliament bans spontaneous protests, requiring demonstrators to seek advance police permission, which allows the police to impose arbitrary limits on numbers and effectively act as political censors.

This Home Office 'consultation' should be invalid since they screwed up the .pdf file missing out the file extension and therefore making it almost impossible to view!

Can you believe it??
With the Home Office YES!
