Lib Dem MP's step out to support Parliament Square Protester

Susan Kramer MP, Brian Haw and Vince Cable MP

In a gesture of support, Liberal Democrat MPs Susan Kramer (Richmond Park) and Vince Cable (Twickenham) today offered a new poster to Parliament Square protester, Brian Haw to help replace those taken by the police in the early hours of this morning.

Susan Kramer said "I have always been proud that we allow a protest in front of Parliament. It is a reminder that we live in a democracy. Brian's protest has been no threat to national security and the decision to reduce his display to insignificance is petty."

Susan went on to say "If we don't oppose this, they will soon be removing Brian altogether. That would be a sad day for freedom of speech."

Susan Kramer and Vince Cable are two of the 23 MPs who have signed EDM 2146 supporting Brian Haw's right to protest.
