RADICAL ORGANISATION Muslims Against Crusades has decided to hold a protest on the day of royal wedding despite the Metropolitan police rejecting its formal application for protest near Westminster Abbey.
Far-right group English Defence League too had applied for permission to stage a counter protest against the Muslim group.
“It is a day of national celebration and we want that to be the mood for the day,” the Met police said, adding that it was holding talks with two groups who planned to hold protests on the day. The Met police cannot ban a stationary protest by any group unless the government imposes a ban.
The Muslims Against Crusades, led by controversial lawyer Anjem Choudary, told the SkyNews on Wednesday that the group would seek to hold a protest on the wedding day in a spot as close to the wedding procession as possible.

Brit women don’t envy Middleton

BRITISH WOMEN are not sold on the royal fairytale wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. A YouGov survey for website MyDaily.co.uk revealed that nearly nine out of 10 women do not envy Kate.
Of the 86 per cent British women, of nearly 2,000 questioned, who do not envy Kate, 44 per cent said the fact that the 29-year-old fiancée of the second-in-line to British throne will not be able to live a normal life. Eighteen per cent of the women were put off by the idea of constant public scrutiny and 10 per cent by media attention. For one in 10 women who admitted to feeling envious of Kate, her wealth was the most desirable factor for 27 per cent.
