BBC - Judges rule against peace vigil: The government has won its appeal against a legal ruling which allowed peace activist Brian Haw to continue his five-year vigil outside Parliament.

Guardian - War protestor dealt court blow: The Stop The War Coalition, which backed Mr Haw, said the decision was "another stab in the back" for democracy. Spokesman Andrew Bergin said: "We are very disappointed by this ruling, which we believe is completely wrong. The anti-war movement is determined to continue to uphold the right to democratically and peacefully protest outside Parliament."

UPDATE - Do you remember Tony Blair using Brian Haw as evidence of his liberalism? Well cop this: I am concerned less with the court's interpretation of the law than with the government's shameful attitude. Its motives for getting rid of Haw boiled down to two. His demo was a bit of a mess. It spoiled the view for tourists visiting Parliament. Personally, I find the concrete fortifications in front of the Palace of Westminster far uglier and more offensive. The other point made was that every day, in his journey from Downing Street to the House of Commons, the prime minister was forced to pass Haw's protest and could not avoid seeing the banners and placards.
