It would seem that to they’d like to give the police yet more power: “This three-part consultation seeks your views on the areas of police powers which the government is committed to reviewing: – the relevance of the word ‘insulting‘ in section 5 of the [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/12/sneaky-sneaky-very-sneaky-2/feed/ 5 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/09/30/state-of-protest-in-the-us/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/09/30/state-of-protest-in-the-us/#comments Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:24:03 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1946 Whilst this is only a single person account of the events and police behaviour, and so I have a pinch of salt handy, even if the report is exaggerated the use of mace on a reportedly peaceful crowd and arresting everyone on a street even if they’ve only just arrived.

It’s not been exactly a tidal wave of people getting these powers but as The Telegraph observes the number is increasing an increasing rate [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/09/27/a-nice-little-earner/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/12/a-fish-rots-from-the-head/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/12/a-fish-rots-from-the-head/#comments Fri, 12 Aug 2011 10:15:26 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1888 Following on from The Snowolf‘s excellent article, the telegraph today also has an excellent piece comparing the self serving (though often strictly legal) behaviour at the top of society with the behaviour of the looters in the recent kerfuffle. Whilst those at the top may be found not guilty (often on technicalities and one suspects [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/12/a-fish-rots-from-the-head/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/09/is-it-getting-quieter/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/09/is-it-getting-quieter/#comments Tue, 09 Aug 2011 21:30:18 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1874 So far in London tonight at least things seem quieter, though equally that may be that it’s just being reported less. Whilst I’m very glad it’s quietened down it’s worrying as it hasn’t got quieter because the looters have been stopped, more they’ve simply stopped for now. This may be due to the vast numbers [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/09/is-it-getting-quieter/feed/ 1 http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/08/more-than-a-bit-miffed/ http://www.anonymong.org/2011/08/08/more-than-a-bit-miffed/#comments Mon, 08 Aug 2011 23:51:01 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=1864 I’m rather fond of London, even the bits I don’t like I’m quite fond of – apart from a sojourn out in the depths of Essex for a long decade I’ve lived somewhere within it’s environs for my entire life.
