Negotiating?????????????
The easiest way to remove obstacles from the highway, and that is to physically remove them, and dump them in an appropriate place.
Seems strange that Nottingham Council are asking the Police to ban an arranged EDL march, but no mention of them banning this idiotic protest.
It's just not on, is it? They have lost more than any respect they hoped to gain. I am at a loss to know why they were not arrested for obstructing the Queen's Highway.
We haven't got to the bottom of this Tambo ...do you still really think that the protestors are benefit-scroungers, in light of some of the responses you've had?
AP, protesters had nothing to lose by an arrest, why? In that frame of mind one would be too rich, mental or poor. Poor fits best = benefits, imo. They display total disregard to others & deserve the full merit of the law. As I will inform my MP!
