Advising a citizen at the CSG (citizens supporting government) 'Freedom to Protest' Border Point at Trafalgar Square, London


Late additions were made to the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 in an attempt to end the long-term protest in Parliament Square by peace activist Brian Haw. Partly through careless drafting they failed to do this, but made protest, however peaceful, within 1km of Parliament illegal without prior police hundred 'Freedom to Protest' demonstrators made their way around Whitehall through the designated area on Saturday Jan 12, 2008, towards the end of a consultation period on the future of SOCPA. The Space Hijackers - calling themselves the CSG (citizens supporting government) set up a 'Freedom to Protest' Border Point on the edge of the SOCPA zone at Trafalgar Square to advise the public about the danger of passing into the an area where freedom is severely restricted.
