Watching the local news last night, even their own people don't support their radical views.

They have got it right belatedly. The had the intelligence (as in information ) to have been able to ban the group before now.

Why they didn't is a matter for them to explain once someone asks the question in Parliament.

Going to disagree.

Though I may not a agree with your views. Within the confines of the law I believe in your right to demonstrate them.

By "Confines of law" I suppose I could sum up as:

"Mr x Is a Tosser, He's responsible for Blah Blah Blah" Fine

"Rise up Campers, Mr X is a Tosser and we should string him up from a tree" Not fine.

But we already have laws that cover this without resorting to the coverall of Terror Legislation.

The right to protest needs all the protection it can get and banning whatever group without providing any evidence is counter-productive.

Within the bounds of the law.... yep, I agree. Should we have a march to let it be known what we think?

+1

I disagree with this group, I disagree with their march and I would like it not to happen but despite that I still support them having a *PEACEFULL* march, even through I think it is disgusting.

If on the other hand it is just an excuse for violence then yes it should be stopped, there should be evidence for that rather than just "because the police fear it may happen"[1].
