    Or maybe get all the farmers to herd their pigs through the square. :evil:

    Hey, it's an opportunity for intelligence
    agencies to gather a lot of data on a lot of
    individuals at one time. Personally, I think that
    anyone who is REALLY linked to al Qaeda will
    be nowhere near that rally.

    yeah.

    the only dilemma is that of the officials trying to trump up some reason not to allow it.

    same kind of questionable shit thats been happening here ever since.

    recently in my homestate, just an hour north of Atlanta, a huge hotbed for Klan activity, a anti-immigrant rally was held by some yahoo organiZation. anti-racist organiZations did the best thing they could. Not attend.

    It turned out there were more cops than racist marching fuckwads. theywere permitted one tromp around town square, it lasted less than an hour. No protesters showed up. The whole even was like pissing on a firecracker. A total embarrassment.

    Id advise the same for this rally in the UK. Just don't show up, don't bother getting enraged about it.

    Let the couple 100 idiots make their noise and then let them go home.
