That G20 bint who got a SLAP...

Right in the Nazbols as they would say.

That's the way communism works, comrade.

 

[Billy the Fish]

I wish I got 50k for every time I've been twatted by a copper. That day walking from Thornton Heath to selhurt would've got me at least 100k

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I'm not convinced the copper in question will be able to justify the batoning, although I honestly believe the "slap" was accidental, I'm fairly certain he was gesturing at her to get away.

But every time I see that woman's face on TV it makes me mad- it's clearly a shameless attempt to cash in on the tragedy of the Ian Tomlinson case. Last night she was saying she thought she was going to be killed- WTF?? From being hit on the thigh? What next, post traumatic stress disorder? She also whined "why couldn't the police officer have asked me politely to move?". Yeah, like that would have worked, in the heat of a protest, with her quite clearly being heard to shout and swear at him, and having just pushed him back, yep, I'm sure a polite "excuse me madam, but wouldn't you mind awfully just stepping back a tad" would have had her moving away immediately.

The only good thing about it is that because she's sold her story to one tabloid (The Star, I think), the other two will now get on her back because she didn't give them the exclusive, so I suspect we'll be hearing a little more about her soon enough. Anti-capitalist? Only when it suits, it seems.

 

[Raphael Meade]

obviously the copper was out of line, but she's clearly just a massive f***ing twat.

my press photographer mates say she was winding up the police all day, acting like a f***ing idiot, goading them, and although they were out of line, someone needed to give her a good slapping.

couldnt agree more with edna that she was just some hippie junkie slag (i'm paraphrasing here) using the ian tomlinson tragedy as an excuse to act like a twat and make a shit load of money.

 

[clapham_gull]

Police in victims of media manipulation shocker, how ironic.

 

[Dr Q]

she looks and sounds a bit of a 'tard in the interview ... did the slap cause brain damage??
The fact that shes associated with Max Clifford I'm sure loses the stupid bint some serious credability.

 

[empire]

leave her be,she got assulted end of

Exactly, but lets throw in a good old character assasination to deflect from what happened.

Surprised the MET didn't get in first, they usually do.

Should bring back the SPG, that would sort out all these lefties.

 

[sir danny cullip]

Absolute twat that woman. She was asked to move back twice and not only refused but actually went forward to goad the copper. What makes her think thats acceptable? In one interview she said 'i hit him back, OK maybe I shouldn't have done that but...'. Surely if she's admitting that she's assaulted a police officer in the course of his duty? Should be charged herself. BINT.

 

[NMH]

If she was in the wrong and was asking for a slap (ridiculous), then the pig was even MORE thick for complying.

Either way you look at this, the ob are wronguns, and certainly no less if she was an "absolute twat" - perhaps more so in fact.

Bottom line regardless of the victim = police in the wrong, and yet again.

Saying she deserved violence will NEVER put the police in a better light!

 

[clapham_gull]

You see this is the problem.

What the press have been talking about for a few weeks, and now a video (albeit edited and coming from the protesters side) has been released.

I havent got a lot of time for the protestors and their way of going about things, but this is quite obviously a peaceful protest, athough some are being a little bit naughty.

It shows the first talked about technique of "kettling". Kept in for hours, then evicted by force, if smashing some over the head with the shield or punching them in the face can be defined as "force".

I don't particular blame the officers there, only doing (mostly) what they are told to do.

But I am extremely uncomfortable about having a police force that behaves like this.

It really is time, for the good of every policeman and women in this country (and the rest of us) that at these major demonstrations they stop behaiving like the thugs they are susposed to be locking up themselves.


Attack video has G20 police in panic - Times Online

For me the most two shocking things about the protests have nothing to do with violence.

The first thing was the police trying to move the press away from an area they were attempting to sort out. Can't be bothered to find the video but the police threaten to arrest some journalists who refuse to budge. The officer in question doesn't exactly go about it in the right way (if there really is one) and now the police have been forced to apologise for even trying to get the press out of the way in first place.

Before anyone says it was for their safety, go and find the video.

Far worse are the many many incidents of police removing their identification.

There is a particular interesting video (away from the violence) of an officer simply repeating the name of his station when asked his number.

Now - all this has to be sorted as soon as possible so everyone can move on, but heads have to roll and importantly apologies have to made.

theres so much crap about what happend. kettling has been the Met's MO for at least a decade and people should watch how other police forces deal with similar protests - baton charge, tear gas etc. if you stand on the front line, you should take it like a man, its part of the game. ive been to football, friday nights, you know wher the trouble is, stay away if you dont want to be involved. its a practical technique to prevent dozens of mini riots and running battles breaking out. it works. dont know that the solution is if you want a police force that attmempts to maintain order (irrespective of what you think of the cause).

as for the climate camp, once established they had the run of Bishopsgate for the day, Police let them be. my sister was there, they didnt bother them at all. as evening drew in and the Bank of England protest was broken up, the militant group moved onto the climate camp. the footage towards the end there is where a group of about 50 pissed up or aggresive "protestors" is attempting to join the climate camp, throwing everything they could find at the police, who where trying to prevent them from joing the camp, who in turn where not too keen anyway as they knew it'd work against them.

as for the number thing, that is going way to far, and should be a criminal offense. Policing is done by consent of the larger public. individuals officers need to be kept in check as we know theres just as many of them as there are protestors up for a ruck. it serves them no purpose to fall into the trap of looking bad infront of the all seeing media, who, as we can see from the video, edit out the bits that dont fit the narrative they want.

A lot of that I agree with to be honest. Playing f***ing bongos outside of the Bank of England isn't really going to change anything.

I don't really care what bits of video have been left out. I can quite imagine what happened, in fact I seen enough protests myself in London.

But, there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever to dish out violence in the way they did.

They aint there to have a fight - it isn't gladiators. Whatever provocation comes their way, it just isn't their job to give it back.


Funnily enough something similiar happened to me at that Palace game when we lost 5-0.

I left just before the end, because I reckoned the fans would be kept back and as I lived not far away I presumed the Police would let me out.

Wandered out the back of the stand only to be met by a few riot police.

Finally managed to persuade them to let me leave, but I was treated like a criminal. The WPC I spoke to was so hyped up I remember thinking at the time that she really shouldn't be there in that state.

Anyway - they opened a door for me and a few others, and I as exited I was cracked over the head with a riot shield by a WPC outside who thought the door had been forced.

And that's it, not a lot more I can say. I wasn't abusive, I wasn't drunk. I just asked nicely if I could leave and was assaulted.

I have spoken at great length to police about what went on that day. Don't want to bring it all up again, but the people in charge that day apparently weren't really up to it. That comment came from the police by the way.

I also witnessed another incident mentioned on here at a football match that was far far worse. Mentioned it to a policeman who was aware of it and they they agreed it was pretty shameful.

Anyway, I've often thought about what went through the WPC head outside the ground, or what exactly she was told to do if she saw someone coming out.

Bizarre - "right ok, if you see anyone exiting the ground - if there is about five of them, pick one and crack them over the head with your shield"

Ever since then I been very suspicious of Police in riot gear and honestly question whether their whole training should be overhauled.

What exactly are they there to do, control the crowd or have a fight ?

Very difficult job, very important job and I actually have the utmost respect for the police. But for f*cks sake sort out how you go about managing things like the G20 for the safety of everyone.

Wait. You left early? BAD fan!

I was punished for it though and I won't be doing it again officer.

 

[adrian29uk]

Yeah I saw the story. What a bloody hypocrite. As you rightly say, she hates capatilism, but is more than happy to use the newspapers to make money. Why don't she go and get a f***ing job like the rest of us.

I'm sorry but what is the point of protesting against capitalism, the environment.

At the end of day every single person in this world is guilty of contributing to it.

Pepper is another one that moans about the environment, if the environment is so important to her then I would expect her to remove her blog and go and live in a self substainable house. Oh I forgot, she uses electricity to run her hairdryer, and to power her MAC so she can write her blog.

f***ing hyprcrites the lot of them.
