A couple managed to wander in Downing Street,
via the Cabinet Office building and got arrested. Downing
Street is one of the sites newly designated under Section 128 (offence
of trespassing on designated site) of SOCPA. The couple was let in,
mistakenly by a security guard, and there are apparently no signs
around Downing Street warning of trespass. Read more at
Parliament
Protest.
As mentioned
earlier,
the Palace of Westminster and Portcullis House are among the other
sites newly designated under Section 128 of SOCPA. Since the beginning
of the month, attending an event in a Committee Room or meeting your MP
in Portcullis House can land in you in jail for up to 51 weeks.
Signs have now been put up around (part of) the perimeter.
