We simply cannot allow this kind of nonsense at this time, or before we know it the next terrorist atrocity will be conducted by someone wearing a batman suit pretending to be \u2018just a harmless protestor\u2019<\/p>\n

As Hain said reported on BBC NEWS<\/a> \u201c\u2018We have had three stark breaches of security \u2013 Greenpeace climbing Big Ben, Fathers 4 Justice throwing a flour bomb in the chamber in May and yesterday\u2019s hunters invading the chamber for the first time since the 17th century\u2026 \u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

Never since Oliver Cromwell has the main chamber of the commons been invaded. Oliver Cromwell fought for freedom. Today we must recognise that certain freedoms-like the freedom to burst into a public building to make a point- will have to be given up in order for us to win our battle to protect real freedom. What if our government and opposition had both been killed today by a bomber?<\/p>\n

What must Osma Bin Laden\u2019s friends make of this farce? When are we going to become serious about security? Is a 9\/11 style event inevitable here in the UK?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
