The area around Apsley Arch that runs from Hyde Park corner to the Park has been close off for a week or so now making access difficult and dangerous. It seems 'Fathers for justice' have taken up camp on the roof of the arch and rather than remove these people it seems the police have taken to cordoning off the area. The assumption is to starve these people into submission or that living in their own effluvium will become too much. Whilst I have no opinion on the rights or wrongs of the protest, I have an issue with the manner in which it is policed. These protestors should be moved on otherwise
Brian Haw in Parliament Square Fathers for Justice on Apsley Arch
will end up with a Brian Haw ( see picture above ) situation and cyclists will lose the right of safe travel around Hyde Park Corner. Plus there is the cost - 20No Police Officers and vehicles 24hrs a day. This appears to be another instance where the safety of the majority are affected by the illegal one or two. How many injured cyclists before this camp is closed down?
