A Statement from the:
Gun City GalleryBush and Blair state their main aim is to bring freedom and democracy to every country in the world.
This statement seems rather hypocritical given what is happening in their own countries. For example, Bush’s stealing of the 2000 election, Guantanamo Bay, the ban on un-authorised demonstrations outside the British parliament or the proposed introduction of ID cards to name only four things.
The Third Reich did not arrive overnight. It came step by step. The Fourth Reich will arrive the same way. Only this time its disciples will be wearing black shirts designed by Paul Smith.

Shag locally
On Tuesday October 2 at approximately 6pm I was demonstrating
outside the Tory conference in Bournemouth with an A3 poster titled ‘Save oil
- shag locally’. A policeman looked at my poster, searched my bag, took my
name and address and went away. Other police on duty saw the poster and said
nothing.
The next morning I did the same again. A sergeant came up and told me to take
the poster down, as it was distasteful. I said his colleagues the previous
evening had made no such threats. He said it was daytime now and the law had
changed - there were children on the beach. I said I wasn’t on the beach, but
eventually complied and he went away.
I then moved my position and put up the poster again. One of his colleagues came
up and threatened to arrest me under the Public Order Act for harassing the
public, even though no delegates had complained, including the MP Boris Johnson
who witnessed the latter incident.
So much for civil liberties!
