Notes and topics
BR mentions that while the right to demonstrate was re-affirmed in the House of Commons, that right has been denied during the visit by the King and Queen of Greece. BR adds that "... a frightening precedent has been set. It is now easy to foresee the imposition of the same ruthless conditions for any other future visit by Verwoerd, Salazar, Götewohl, or any other ruler who suppresses all opposition."
