Oh yeah... forgot the nazi's were gonna be there to kick our asses. Maybe they were really small. Or in disguise.... In fact, I'l bet it was that guy who collected glasses and didn't say anything all night.

 

[Willie Willions]

They had to come in in disguise and carrying equipment in the back door...

ANARCHY at the G8



http://www.sundayherald.com/47848


"The most controversial measure under discussion at top-level meetings is a plan for a special “holding facility” – dubbed by some a “mini-Guantanamo” – to be set up in the capital to deal with hundreds of G8 protesters arrested and awaiting trial."

"He confirmed his force were looking at controversial measures enabled by the Terrorism Act 2000. One measure being examined was the use of powers under Section 44 of the act, which gives the police the right to stop and search anyone without reason.

He stressed that Section 44 was there to allow the police to take a “proportionate approach when judged necessary to assist in the prevention of acts of terrorism”."


"The officers on the street will have batons, CS spray and their stab-resistant vests. But we’re acutely aware of the different levels of protection that may be required to meet each situation."


He said the specialist officers would be kitted out with “vests, shields and helmets with back up from other options”. But he added: “I can only describe it as ‘other options’ at this time. I wold not want it publicised what we have in our back pocket.”


Hmm, wonder what's in their back pocket. Apparently they've asked the belgians for 4 water cannons. Rubber bullets will also be in use.

A spokeswoman for Travel Scot World said it was working in conjunction with the Make Poverty History campaign and would be organising a variety of excursions for what it described as "middle class protesters". These will include a visit to a distillery, a walking tour of Edinburgh and other local attractions.

The spokeswomen said: "They are intelligent, nice people who believe in the cause. There has been very negative press coverage of the nuisance protesters that will come to the G8 summit and cause havoc. But that is obviously completely different to the protesters that have been invited to this event."

Alan Rankin, the chief executive of the Scottish Tourism Forum, said: "Scotland is a country where free speech is welcomed so the principle of going to protest at any event is open to anybody as long as it is done within the confines of the law.

"But if this helps to attract spending tourists to Edinburgh, that is great. And if it helps to move tourists throughout the country and also to promote expenditure, that is a further bonus for the country." [/font]

Gill Hubbard, the organiser of Scottish-based G8 Alternatives, said: "We would urge all who advocate violence to please stay away. Scotland will not be the place for them. We are preparing a peaceful alternative G8 which will come up with alternative policies for dealing with the problems of the world. We can do without the macho solutions."
