Irrespective of any of that, it'd be different if they were blocking the road or access, which they were far less guilty of than the Police appeared to be, but they do have a right to be there, and he has a right to film.
YoY German industrial production data has just come out and it's 3,3% lower - energy costs cited as direct reason for this. If this pattern continues, more and more European production and manufacturing will be moved to China - it doesnt bode well for European economies and the leaders of India and China are laughing - spectacular own goals scored by Euro politics. We've stopped pissing in our side of the swimming pool but haven't stopped buying or using products. A spectacular economic slow suicide.
"but they do have a right to be there, and he has a right to film." Of course they do. Which is why I look forward to the tee shirt wearer being filmed today, and said footage being uploaded to social media. Then again, the beeb might take up the story of a lone activist leant against a wall???? What? Not going to happen? Why? Of course, home for tea and dunkers today. Or put another way, filmaker stages choreographed stunt. Not going to win an Oscar, Bafta, but at least he'll receive a few likes on twitter. The highest security event for a generation, and you are shocked, or alarmed at their treatment? What did they, or you , think would happen?
Given you agree that they had a right to be there and film, I'm not really all that sure, or all that interested in whatever your point is.
Manna from heaven for the likes of BNK Solicitors. Another gross misuse of police powers, hopefully it'll end up repealed much like section 44 of the terrorism act was after plod abused its use. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
