Following the recent demonstration in London regarding the decision of the UK press to print the Danish cartoon of Mohammed, the police have been widely criticised for their apparent over their lenient policing of the march, which included flag burning, covered faces and even protesters dressed up as suicide bombers carrying "behead those who insult Islam" placards.

Britain's top ranking Muslim police officer, Tarique Ghaffur has called for far stronger policing, and is urging protesting with a covered face and flag burning to be made criminal acts.

On the other hand, Shami Chakrabati, Director of Liberty said new legislations were unnecessary and likened the reaction to "watching too many American movies".

Who's right? Thoughts? (And please don't turn this into another anti-Muslim rant, just sensible answers.)

I live in one of those jurisdictions (the Canadian province of Saskatchewan) where the clocks did not have to be adjusted this AM. (We stay on central standard time year round). What other jurisdictions declined to change?

Do you like changing twice a year?

Well WELCOME BACK!!! (No, REALLY!)
After all, I'm sure one could have simply left for work or school AN HOUR LATER or AN HOUR EALIER.
Do people REALLY think they can change TIME?!?

How about the next time we "turn our clocks back" we turn them back to when we didn't have to turn our clocks back?

If we confuse dissent with disloyalty— if we deny the right of the individual to be wrong, unpopular, eccentric or unorthodox— if we deny the essence of racial equality then hundreds of millions in Asia and Africa who are shopping about for a new allegiance will conclude that we are concerned to defend a myth and our present privileged status. Every act that denies or limits the freedom of the individual in this country costs us the ... confidence of men and women who aspire to that freedom and independence of which we speak and for which our ancestors fought.

It did for Edward R. Murrow, and I hope that despite the attacks on Habeas Corpus, the Geneva Convention, and many other prized entities, it will for us still.

Do you think Jay Kay's joined we plebs on Yahoo Answers to get a bit of free publicity as his records sales are bombing, or is it me being cynical.He's never shown much interest in green issues or refraining from bashing reporters/photographers before. So much for wanting peace.

Anyone seen 'Escape from New York' - this is where Manhatten Island is turned into a maximum security prison for all bad guys. You never get out and have to fend for yourself. This could work! No more bad people. Just need to choose where we build a 60 foot security wall. I thought of the Isle of Wight, but I like it there. So, it has to be Wales. What do you think?
