no of course they won't - the who;le thing is completely unworkable - preventing people who they believe to be suspicious from traveling towards a demo/picket is a whole different thingto preventing people from using any section of a road due to them being members of a particular charity
i can see then nicking people congregating at an airport for the sole reason of protest but thats a bit different - and they have been able to do that for ages not just due to the prevention of terrorism laws but under the criminal justice act in the mid 80s.
the whole article is a total non story - note that they use the term "could" rather than "will" which is the mark of spurious juornalistic licence - anything "could" happen , aliens
could land on the whitehouse lawn, I
could be the next prime minister , it
could go for a whole vweek without raining... but none of this means than any of these things
will happen
