- Under the Counter Terrorism Act 2008, documenting dissent is under attack
More in link, but in brief, on Monday, the police acquire new powers to stop journalists documenting their behaviour. These powers are a disgusting breach of civil liberties, and give the police unprecdenent powers to be able to prevent their critics from speaking out. There is a protest/media event organised outside New Scotland Yard at 11am on Monday the 16th. I would seriously urge anyone who is free and in London, or can get to London, to get down there with a camera in hand.

- The Met declare war on photography, houses and mobile phones.
This is just fucking stupid. I’m fine with keeping an eye out. But picking specific things to advertise as potential terrorist activity is just asking for trouble. Whoever came up with this one must be a special kind of moron.
