Johnson wastes £250k on bid to muzzle protest
London mayor under fire for gag on peaceful Occupy demos
BORIS JOHNSON was accused yesterday of wasting nearly £250,000 attempting to silence peaceful protests at Parliament Square last year.
Information provided by the Greater London Authority (GLA) and Metropolitan Police shows that the London mayor spent almost a quarter of a million pounds during last October’s Occupy Democracy demonstrations.
An additional £3,000 was spent erecting the now infamous fence surrounding the square.
