I think arguing that he got thrown under the bus is giving the guy far too much credit. He very deliberately dragged a dying man out of range of the surveillance in order for him to be executed in cold blood. I don't doubt that war is hell but the guy knew what he was doing and is yet to show any remorse.

It's a reference to the fact that blackman filmed the execution.

These wonderful photos have restored my faith in this once great country, what a delight to see these proud and patriotic people marching through our streets instead of the usual rabble who regularly demonstrate..free this brave soldier now...the whole thing has been a travesty of justice, a national shame and embarrassment!

I'm really not sure whether to laugh or cry. It's shit like this that makes me feel slightly uneasy about wearing a poppy. Remembrance is important but there's a very thin line between remembering the dead and glorifying the murder of brown people.

[some old bloke said] he had not come to protest but to ‘salute the incredible dignity of Sergeant Blackman.

"Shuffle off this mortal coil, you cunt... I've just broken the Geneva convention".

So dignified.

Ugh fucking hell

.

I mean any clues as to what kind of justice would be, in their view, more appropriate. Some have suggested manslaughter but that doesn't make any sense so I'm just struggling to understand what the protests are for.

Oh I'm not suggesting you did! My main concern is that I can't remember exactly what was said and whilst I know it was threatening (and shouted approx. an inch from my face) I'm not sure whether that is evidence enough.

I'm really confused about this Sergeant Blackman shit. The protesters claim to be fighting for justice but it seems to me that justice has been quite appropriately served.

Any clues?

Yeah but the bloke at the desk said that it'd be a better bet going for a s.4 Public Order offence of fear of violence.

Apparently the reference number that the 101 woman gave me is inaccessible to the people in the police station (wtf). So the number plate of the car is floating around in the ether somewhere, no longer in my brain, and I doubt that anyone will bother trying to dig it up from last night's report.

All in all not desperately hopeful, but we'll see. Kind of makes me feel like I'm making too much of a fuss having red @benborp 's account - harrowing stuff man.

Sounds really grim, shit. I'm currently sat waiting to give a statement so we'll see where it goes. I know the plate but seeing as he didn't actually hit me I'm not sure what will come of it.

I think I will report. I wouldn't bother but I remembered to get his reg and he really was such a horrible prick.

I guess they mean two unconnected people must have seen it and they'll still do nothing

ftfy

Has anybody been assaulted (non physically) and had success with the police? I can't decide whether to potentially waste my lunch break trekking to Shoreditch if they don't do anything about it.

On here?

man I love that.

I just had a fucking mad one.

Going up Holloway Rd very slowly in heavy traffic and a woman pulls out across the bus lane. I stopped pretty close to her right door, and out of the window came a torrent of abuse including "can't you see this is a fucking road?"

At that I shared a "what the fuck" sideways look with the cyclist to my left and then some mad cunt got out of the car, marched over and started screaming a whole load of incomprehensible shit right in my face. I've never seen anyone completely lose their fucking rag like that.

I definitely shit my pants way more than I expected I ever would in that kind of situation (I apologised - ugh). I was pretty fixated on the fact that he had his hands behind his back and I really really didn't want to get stabbed. Anyway off to the pigpen tomorrow having just reported to 101.

Thanks to the dude on the red something (with chromey bits) who stopped to see if all good. Looked fixed so maybe on here? Anyway cheers.

:(

Undoubtedly fruitless clicktivism but there's a petition floating around for a vote of no confidence if you're into that sort of thing

Cheers! Was good to meet you folks - will likely see you next week.

Here's hoping

pretty tidy

Bloody lovely. They're pretty hypo-allergenic right?

I like it. Was thinking something similar if I ever get around to doing mine.
