UMVA has learned that a 59-year-old man appeared in court accused of making bomb threats outside Downing Street while protesting.
Stephen Abbott allegedly attended the gates at Downing Street, shouting and protesting before claiming to have a bomb in his rucksack.
In short, he was alleged to make comments about Tony Blair and subsequently claimed to have a bomb in his rucksack.
Senior District Judge Paul Goldspring told the hearing that the case was clearly not suitable for summary trial.
It should go to the Bailey given its profile, he added.
Abbott, of Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, was granted bail on condition that he does not go within 100 metres of Downing Street.
