When is a demonstration in Parliament Square not a demonstration in Parliament Square? When the police give you your permission ten minutes before the thing is due to start.

Still, Tim Ireland has made his point: he’s discovered that it is illegal to display a banner in Parliament Square with ‘I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?‘ on it. Democracy is safe once one. Cheers SOCPA.

For anyone willing to rock our nation to its very foundations and attempt this dastardly crime, Tim is offering a very special prize.

Update: Congrats to D-Notice.
