    Dont worry the government will hear our the publics views loud and clear I am sure.

    And ignore them - just like the anti-iraq protests before the war.

    There's groups of pensioners going down to complain about cuts in services, so i hope if there's any kettling there'll also be earl grey, scones and provision of some Parker Knoll chairs.

    If anyone is going, take water and empty bottles to fill with "water" once you're done with it. The police don't lay on toilets.

    It's still up in the air as to whether they will kettle or not - I think the police have finally realised the government has changed, and the new one is not quite so indulgent of their antics.

    Ever read Brave New World? scariest book ever.

    I read it a long time ago. The only thing I can remember is the mis-use of the word "pneumatic"... ;)
