So just found out that Boris Johnson may have a lot to answer for; what did he say to the police that he met just before the protest's how did he say he wanted the situation dealt with, did he make it clear that he had no time for these "crustys" and they should be severely dealt with: 9 years under the last Major numerous protests and no incidents anywhere near on this scale i.e Manslaughter. If you have any doubt that the Conservative party have in noway changed their spots then this death and the manner in which the event was policed under a conservative major of london says everything. Apparently the tory spin machine picked this up on the day and have been in hiding ever since no wonder they want to raise this smear thing and keep it in the headlines, this is a disaster for any would be conservative government. This is Boris Blue Boy Johnson's leading article in the telegrpah a few days before the g20 summit...inflammatory or what ! No wonder the police were so heavy handed.


" the alienated children of the middle classes are planning to subvert the G20 summit. Across the desolate wastes of the Leftie internet, their wrathful campfires are already burning, and when April dawns they will surge like the orcs of Mordor in the general direction of the Bank of England."


What a nob this man is....surely he needs to be called to account, an open and public review is needed, he needs to be questioned.

Re: JetSetWilly's earlier assertion that the police will be shown in a more positive light in time re: Tomlinson


It's not looking that way yet, and getting worse day by day


I've been keeping abreast of this and what's shocking me is the lack of shock on the police side. Lots of policemen saying the coverage is one-sided and biase (and in the context of this story there is a bit of that) but not one of them wants to deal with the repercussions of what this actually means. Instead of addressing the issue head on, and the breakdown of trust that will ensue, they are adopting a seige mentality


Unimpressed

The 'new' still footage in the guardian makes them look, well even better. He's just standing on his own by a tree and some bikes hands in his pockets completely minding his own business when a group of 6 police walk towards him from a fair distance away and well.....beat him till he dies.....


any other footage or is it all in some government building somewhere being erased.

Sean, I'm not at all surprised.


The police have been doing this stuff for years, decades. They are not shocked because that is what quite a few of them have been doing all their lives. I was there for just a very few of them e.g. at a marriage ceremony in Brixton when the first Brixton riots broke out two hundred yards away and witness to just what kind of shit the police got up to then. I've seen things far, far worse than what we are seeing on all this video footage etc. Circa 1981.


The difference now is that just about everyone has a camera or phone with camera or camcorder or whatever. Before, there was never any indisputable evidence. Now there is. That's great. Just a pity that we apparently cannot now legally take pix of the plods. How convenient!


They are perhaps only shocked/surprised that they have been 'found out' in terms of public opinion in 'middle England'. They are not used to being on the front page of the Daily Wail pictured doing their mis-deeds.

Very interesting protest at the 'Den' today - outside the ground with i think some of his relatives and right in in front of the police a man dressed in a funeral directors top hat and tails shouting in town crier fashion


"justice for ian tomlinson, a Millwall supporter killed by the FILTH ! , never let the bastards get you down"


Millwall went on to win 2-0 then the stadium erupted into a slow chant of MURDERERS then a sedate pitch invasion ensued police formed a line across the pitch and there was a momentary face off and still came the chants MURDERERS.

Yes good, positive and helpful I am sure that the Suffragettes had to throw a few stones at parliment to get things changed !


And what dreamy society are you talking about H-0 ? the one that driven by rampant capitalism which has in turn fuelled globalization to fulfill it's own aim's is about to get decimated by wonderful new strains of flu that have developed as a result.


Next time you sentence the guy's behind the website Pirate Bay to Death you will be wearing a oxygen suit to do it ! I am sure however there will only be enough for the society you choose at the time.....much love my friend.

But what caused this acceleration of swine flu evolution? Probably the same thing that has favored the reproduction of avian flu. Virologists have long believed that the intensive agricultural system of southern China--an immensely productive ecology of rice, fish, pigs, and domestic and wild birds--is the principal engine of influenza mutation: both seasonal "drift" and episodic genomic "shift." (More rarely, there may occur a direct leap from birds to pigs and/or humans, as with H5N1 in 1997.) But the corporate industrialization of livestock production has broken China's natural monopoly on influenza evolution. As many writers have pointed out, animal husbandry in recent decades has been transformed into something that more closely resembles the petrochemical industry than the happy family farm depicted in schoolbooks. In 1965, for instance, there were 53 million American hogs on more than 1 million farms; today, 65 million hogs are concentrated in 65,000 facilities--half with more than 5,000 animals. This has been a transition, in essence, from old-fashioned pig pens to vast excremental hells, unprecedented in nature, containing tens, even hundreds of thousands of animals with weakened immune systems, suffocating in heat and manure, while exchanging pathogens at blinding velocity with their fellow inmates and pathetic progenies.


Off Topic or what - another thread maybe !

I think it's population that demands intensive farming, not capitalism. We should really by thanking our lucky stars that capitalism provides the investment and incentive to develop appropriate solutions.


Regardless, I'm rather staggered that anyone would imagine that the best solution for a law and order issue is to riot.

it's not a law and order issue though is it ? thats certainly not a definition of law and order killing a man becuase you fancy bashing some crustys ! Don't be staggered , a brick thrown from a mob will get you staggering !

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
