Currently you're not allowed to protest near Westminster
But what if thousands of people descended on Westminster Square in a very slow trickle and – when challenged about protesting – just said they were there by themselves and not part of a group or protest and didn't know a single other person there?

What could John Q Law do?

EDIT: OMG INTERNETLAWYERMAN just got in contact with me!

It'd still be a protest.
NEXT.

Would they then force everyone to disperse?
What if everyone just wanted to sit down and have some sandwiches and some iced tea?
(I helped save b3ta! applehead herp derp, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 13:31, archived)
That'd be fine I suppose.
But what you implied was that the intent to protest would be there, but you'd be crafty about it.

In Westminster?

(I helped save b3ta! WHARRGARBL, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 13:32, archived)
Sorry, forgive me
What if everyone just wanted to sit down and have some sandwiches and some iced tea that they'd bought on expenses?
(I helped save b3ta! applehead herp derp, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 13:34, archived)
Christ, bit cheap for expenses that
I was thinking more "Champagne and Caviar"

Have a lovely cup of tea.

I'd be up for it.

Plus you could say you were the victims of a social experiment.

There's not nearly enough wanking in protesting
Lets all march on Westminster this afternoon and wank.

I'll turn up to this protest too.

Nice one
what are we protesting about?
(I helped save b3ta! broadsword, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 13:34, archived)
Not being able to have a public wank in Westminster
I think.
(I helped save b3ta! Lord Gnome, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 13:36, archived)
Nice one

Ask them to move on.
It'd be incredibly difficult to organise something like that without some sort of authority becoming aware.

I don't know
Protesters get on my tits for some reason.

In other news my son has just cut his hand on a mirror in the changing room in asda, where some little cunt has chipped away at the edge of a mirror. The women who helped us said she caught the lads trying to chip a hole from one changing room to another to spy yesterday so it's probably them. Masses of blood yet it was only a tiny cut. They cleaned him up, gave him some starburst and sent him on his way.

Starburst is a rather rubbish name.

It is a bit.
It's not even plural so it doesn't make grammatical sense!

why was he running his hand round the edge of the mirror?

He was dabbing up the last of the choppy chop chop

probably because he's a child?
it's what they do. Inquisitive and all that stuff.

He wasn't, he was trying to get past the trolly to sit on the little chair and put his hand on the wall where the mirror was to steady himself.

hahaha, Although i do agree with the lot of you and had he been running his hand around the mirror I would have said the same thing.

(I helped save b3ta! Mrs Sp@m, Tue 16 Jun 2009, 13:41, archived)
come to think of it,
I only really asked because I know that's the sort of thing kids do, although I've never understood why, although I know that if I'd done that when I was a kid, my mum would have asked me why I'd done it and said it was my own fault.

What would it achieve?

Edit: they can always invoke public safety byelaws to move people on anyway, so in addition to achieving nothing it would also not last long.
