DESCRIPTION:The Raging Grannies and allied internet freedom supporters will be on the 
 streets yet again to defend freedom of speech. Join us!\n\nA proposed 
 crackdown on social media use following recent uprisings in London has 
 internet freedom supporters fighting mad. The UK's Cameron administration 
 is considering barring "suspected troublemakers" from using social media in 
 order to to prevent a repeat of recent violent uprisings in London.\n\nThe 
 Raging Grannies say it is no coincidence that this violence has erupted in 
 some of the UK's poorest areas. A major underlying cause is government 
 spending cuts, in particular deep cutbacks in social programs. As in the 
 US, spending cuts and a lack of jobs programs disproportionately affect the 
 poor. It is a further insult when the Cameron administration is seriously 
 considering curbing their internet freedom.\n\nThe Raging Grannies oppose 
 any kind of restrictions on freedoms of speech; especially upon those who 
 are struggling against repression.\n\nThe demonstration will be held in the 
 public plaza adjacent to the picturesque British Bankers Club. If you 
 arrive late and don't see us right away, check inside the BBC, where the 
 Grannies may be found enjoying a pint. (Protest may be shorter than an 
 hour).\n\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/08/12/18687509.php
