How many policemen does it take to trmovr most of Brian haw's banners and posters from Parliament Square ?
According to this reporter, whose fuller story may will appear in the Evening Standard:
Brian's posters and banners and placards were moved at 2.30am. The police swooped in the middle of the night to avoid confrontation and conflict with protestors.I believe he is only allowed a single poster and placard from now until the appeal. Police are still there this morning and have cordoned off the road.
There are about 25 officers.
Seems excessive amount to move on one man, but that's the Met for you
But so far, it is only placards that have been moved, not Mr Haw himself.It is understood that any decision on eviction may be decided at Bow Street Magistrates' Court next Tuesday when he will face allegations that he has breached protest conditions.
