SOCPA flouted

News in Brief

London CND continue to resist police attempts to halt their monthly vigil outside parliament. We reported last issue (PN 2526) that the Metropolitan police had given up their efforts to halt the anti-Trident vigil in Parliament Square, after the police phoned London CND worker (and PN news editor) David Polden, authorising future vigils.
Just after going to press, the same officer phoned to tell David the vigil had been disallowed because it wasn’t safe. It could only be held in nearby Old Palace Yard.
London CND decided to continue holding their vigil in Parliament Square, opposite Big Ben. At the October event the police decided to take no action. The anti-Trident vigil is held on the first Tuesday of each month, 5pm-7pm.
