Different point altogether mon ami. They died so that we could live peacefully under the rule of law, having seen what the law can prohibit, I find it remarkable that the Met cannot order this march to take place on a different day, any other day in fact. The very fact that the organisers have chosen this day is indication enough that they seek confrontation, but Plod wrings his hands and says he can do nothing. That dereliction of duty is the point I'm making, they can do something but are choosing not to.

I would expect the march to be heavily policed, trouble to break out, heads to be cracked and the usual suspects whining about police brutality. Or it could turn out to be a well organised, well behaved, peaceful demonstration, in which case I will hold my hand up. We'll see.
