In 2005, the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act was passed, which restricted the right to protest in designated areas around the Houses of Parliament. How was Haw involved in "serious, organised crime"? It wasn't a crime to begin with. Parliament had to make a "law" to try to stop him, and others like him.

May Westminster Council forever fail in their attempts to move the camp. May Haw never be forgotten.
