Yard fury over Bush visit
American officials want a virtual three-day shutdown of central London in a bid to foil disruption of the visit by anti-war protestors. They are demanding that police ban all marches and seal off the city centre.
But senior Yard officers say the powers requested by US security chiefs would be unprecedented on British soil. While the Met wants to prevent violence, it is sensitive to accusations of trying to curtail legitimate protest.
It seems the bush regime isn't happy just taking away our civil rights. Now they want to take away rights of citizens of other countries while they are in their home country. The've already taken away the civil rights of anyone who was born on foreign soil who is in the US.
