Conservative Party conference

The Conservative party are holding their conference in Birmingham at the International Convention Centre this week. Broad Street is crawling with coppers & the security is quite something: high fences, turnstiles... More than the last time. Could it be they're expecting trouble this time?
Everyone else has to get out of the way of an event like this. Broad Street is already single lane & it hasn't started yet. For those who work in the city travel will be a nightmare this week. This really pisses me off that these high-risk idiots are allowed to displace everyone else, just to have another bun fight at which they'll take something else away from the unsuspecting population.
