Words that come back to haunt us(kind of)

Politicians are all to often exposed as hypocrits when they are in power, it being far easier to keep to principles whilst in opposition it doesn't ever seem to matter that they say one thing and do another. One example of this is shown in the words of Tony Blair only two years ago when he said,

"When i pass protestors every day at Downing street... I may not like what they call me, but i thank God they can. That's called freedom."

Thanks to Section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 it is more or less illegal to protest within a half mile exclusion zone from the Parliament where decisions that affect our lives are made. Well you can if you want to give 6 days notice to the police who can set conditions like a half hour time limit, and if you wouldn't mind leaving the placards and loudhailers at home. No spur of the moment peaceful protest is allowed, ask Maya Evans.
