Anit Terror Laws

[Allan_Pinkerton]

A schoolboy trying to save his youth club was hauled from class after his plan to protest outside David Cameron's constituency office was spotted - by anti-terror police.

In an astonishing over-reaction, 12-year-old Nicky Wishart was warned he faced ARREST.

"I couldn't believe it," he said. "The policeman asked me lots of questions about why we were having a protest and who would be there.

"I said it was simply because we didn't want our youth centre to close - it's a fantastic place to go and there isn't much else for us to do round here."

The full-scale security operation swung into effect days after Nicky made an innocent request on Facebook to "save our youth centre".

The surprised boy was told police were now monitoring his Facebook posts - which are mainly gossip and banter from school about lessons and friends' haircuts.

He was told he would be responsible for any "trouble" at the well-mannered picket on Friday night.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus that's bad! What with the NSA and all that stuff (btw - how did the police know to look at his facebook site?), added to thei smassively heavy-handed reaction to a protest, you have to wonder where we're headed...

All seems very reasonable to me. Don't know what the fuss is about.

If you've got nothing to hide, you've got nothing to fear IMO.

That 12 year old was let off too lightly.

Crufifixion's too good for him.

Anyone, of any age who even plans to hold a protest or demonstration about something should be rocketed into the Sun at the first opportunity, regardless of the associated costs.

The polis spend most of their day on Facebook now, given the propensity of yer average hoodie to post about their derring-dos on there.

We're heading for a police state.
