Who polices the police???

Who indeed.* Nobody in their right mind would expect Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Constabulary's review of the G20 policing - ordered by Paul Stephenson - to uncover anything resembling the truth. Heck, they've already attempted a cover up. But at least we can look forward to some of those 'bad' police taking early retirement as justice is corrupted and perverted in the manner we're accustomed to. I'm already looking forward to David Peace's novel on these unfurling and underhand events 30 years from now.

What the papers say...

*Bystanders with mobile phones and cameras. Surely a ban on the use of these devices is imminent?

A kick in the Barack...

G20 Summit or no G20 Summit, the sad fact is this: we no longer make anything that people in other countries need or want to buy. You can pump as much money into the IMF as you want, but that sad fact will not change. Where's the real money going to come from? We are, to use one of my favourite profanities, f*cked.
