Those protesters again - London stopped - who can we sue?

Yesterday I was trying to get home from Euston to Tooting Broadway. Not normally the most epic of journeys. But there were major problems on the Northern Line, so I got off at London Bridge. I took an overground train to Charing Cross and got on a 24 to go to Victoria. Poor choice of your route. Whitehall was completely blocked off because of those protesters again, something to do with Tamils. I think they are either for or against them. Buses were being diverted god-knows-where. So I got off, walked to Westminster, took a tube to Victoria, took the overground to Balham then realised that both Balham and Tooting Broadway were shut owing to engineering works, so I had to get a 355 bus home. Anyway, when the French trawlermen blockaded the port recently P&O said it was thinking of suing them. Is there some organization behind these Parliament Square demos that might be sued by disgruntled punters? They weren't entirely to blame, but they didn't help. Two points. Firstly, public roads are not for the exclusive use of through traffic but serve a variety of purposes. Secondly, road closures are mostly performed by the police in response to demonstrations, so sue them. Oh wait though! If you sue them and win it will be the taxpayer who pays up, not the police. It seems that your problem was mainly due to the Underground so why try to blame the protesters? -- UK Radical Campaigns www.zing.icom43.net One man's democracy is another man's regime. |
