At first glance it looked like a trendy new device for holding a spare lipstick. On closer inspection a wire was spotted coming from the back of it. The copper in question was friendly enough and explained that the device had completed its trials and would be rolled out for general use within a couple of months. As well as the head cam there was a second one on his chest in case anyone tried to grab the more obvious one. It was activated by a switch and also stored the 30 seconds of footage prior to its activation.
If all the Police are due to be trained and issued with this gear, does that mean that a certain unit (known for their blue shouldered jackets) will soon be surplus to requirements? Well, if in a couple of months time you spot some familiar faces working as security guards in your local Tescos, you now know why…..
A massive and violent insurection erupts in the City of London.
Ello, ello, ello, watching the footie officer?
Erm no, watching images being recorded by this head cam...
...and this chest cam.
Make sure you get a good close up of this one. Could be identified later?
CENTRICA is the also by a staggering coincidence the owner of British Gas which will be announcing a 20% increase in domestic fuel bills next week. By winter householders could be looking at a fuel bill that is 35-40% higher than last year.
Meanwhile the number of pensioner households in ‘fuel poverty’ has doubled since 2004 now a 2.25 million (figures from Age Concern). If the predicted 35-40% increase happens then that figure will go up by 800,000. The total 4.5 million households living in fuel poverty will go up to over 6million. Energy watch predicts that the average household fuel bill will go up from £1058 to £1,481.
Finally it should be pointed out that gas being produced in this country is being sold via the ‘free market’ to the French and then sold back to us at an inflated price. And anyone who objects to this state of affairs no matter how lawfully or politely will be filmed and added to some kind of database just for being there. Nobody bothered to record the details of the crooks entering the building. Who will be personally responsible for god knows how many pensioners freezing to death this winter.
Isn’t it great to live in a liberal democracy?

The SWPers I know (and they are many) describe themselves as Trotskyists with pride. I suppose I could have opened the article with: "This morning while covering the antic of members of the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party..." but that would have been a mouthful as well as possibly falling foul of the IMC UK 'hierarchy' guideline. To their credit they were the only people outside Goldman Sachs and their demo made two national and one local papers the following day. Did I not give a proper account of the issues? I think the person posting above is being a tiny bit over sensitive...
