John, it wasn't banned if Jowell was suggesting holding it in the Mall or Traf Square instead. I mean, "No you can't do this in Hyde Park where there aren't many people, you'll have to go and protest in the middle of the City where everyone is" - shit, ain't that just dreadful for the poor darlings?! Loads of concealment, shouldn't be allowed, police state, up the revolution, wibble wibble...

Sounds like lying scumbags are not limited to the pro-war side.
