They have been doing it to peaceful animal rights demonstrators and
now to peaceful anti-biofuel demonstrators. Whose next on the list to
be politically repressed in the UK?

" Scottish Police Harass a Peaceful Protest

Alex Cabb | 15.04.2008 23:40 | Repression | Social Struggles
Five members of the Edinburgh Clown Army (1) were detained for
questioning this afternoon at a peaceful and entertaining biofuels
protest in Bruntsfield(2). They have since been arrested and charged
with a breach of the peace, despite maintaining a friendly atmosphere.

Eye-witnesses state that the biofuels demonstration was peaceful,
friendly and party-like atmosphere.

Witnesses also state that the Clowns were friendly and entertaining,
creating a comical and amusing ambiance for the protest.

Witnesses say that the Clowns gave no grounds for the police to charge
them with a breach of the peace.

Police moved in in large numbers, surrounding the Clowns, filmed them,
and took them one by one into the back of a police van.

They were taken to St Leonards Police Station for questioning, at
which point they were charged with a breach of the peace.

Well, obviously you don't care as you are looking forward to the
compulsory use of aggrofuel in your car to try to salve your
conscience.

Well as a previous supporter of wannabe-green aggrofuels you obviously

This would be the same clown army that caused so much damage during
the G8 when it was in Scotland?

Perhaps that police are still following up leads from back then?

( Cue Doug disputing the damage again...)

You're quite right, I don't care about a bunch of semi-literate fuckwits
calling themselves an army then getting their supporters to moan at their
treatment. Perhaps if they didn't play up to, and pretend to be, some
paramilitary organisation, they'd get a less heavy-handed attitude from
those upholding the law of the land.
