BBC NEWS | England | London | End to father’s motorway protest

Police said despite the massive traffic disruption on the motorway, the man had the right to protest peacefully.

A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said that despite queues that stretched for 19km (12 miles) on the M25 and 32km (20 miles) on the M4, the decision to allow the man to stay on the gantry all day was made by the senior officer at the scene.

“He has the right to protest peacefully. It is entirely a matter for the senior officer,” she said.

Fascinating. We do have the right to peaceful protest in this country, it would appear, as long as you don’t inconvenience any MPs. I’m sure there will be lots of ppl pleased to hear that.
