Comments on: Security at Labour Party Conference http://downingstreetsays.com/briefings/2005/10/03/1807 Every day the Prime Minister's Spokesman meets a small coterie of political journalists known as 'the lobby' for a topical chat, or 'briefing'.

The bit where the local Police used the Terrorism Act for politically-inspired harrassment of the victim is a bit less clear. Passing a new Terrorism Act every ten minutes in an attempt to make it look as if they're doing something about terrorism has been a hallmark of this government, and ultimately they should take responsibility for the consequences. I hope the Labour Party pay for the cost of policing their conference.
