Fit Team vs the Grey Bloc.

Today the Forward Intelligence Team (FIT TAX WASTERS) found themselves faced by a new enemy. Local peacenik pensioners took offence to the FIT's camera pointing at Stockwell station. The FIT were trying to photograph the speakers at the demo.

Plucky pensioner's placard prevents police photographer from snapping speakers.

If you are on a demo and you are being illegally filmed is it illegal to ensure that your placard blocks their view?? The cops today did not seem up for the confrontation. Or was it that they realised that nicking a elderly member of the community would make them look like a bunch of fascist morons? Any legal brains care to comment?
