They've been told to stop harrassing photographers but London's police are a law unto themselves.
Read this article from the Independent
Forget the communist bloc, China, Libya, Saddam's Iraq, North Korea - human rights are being violated every day in the UK - by the UK's own police force.
This footage is brilliant - they accuse the photographer of everything from pedaephilia to being an agitator and a terrorist threat to the military parade, and finally after they've tried taking his camera away and used threats to make him leave the area, they push him down some stairs and finally arrest him for breach of the peace. It's fucking marvellous and shows what ignorant thugs the Met police really are. Well done the photographer - only young - for knowing his rights and standing his ground.
This is my main blog - it's been going since 2004. It was originally my personal diary but has expanded to something more sophisticated, thanks to Blogger. Most articles on this site are unfinished and remain so. I am trying very very hard to change this! I have a sidebar on the right - please scroll down - full great web sites, articles, podcasts, etc. The tone of this blog is mostly unfocussed, and long may it remain so...
