I am furious. Absolutely furious.
The picture above, ladies and gentlemen, is from the NHS protest yesterday outside the Ministry of Health. Yes, that is a policeman armed with a machine gun. They're known as the diplomatic cops (ha, ha) and they were called out in case our protestors got frisky. So were the riot police. For more pictures and info on this go to Latent Existence. Don't bother going to the BBC web pages, because they did not report this.
I don't know what I find more disturbing here; the fact that there were armed police at an NHS protest or that it was not reported by the main news channels. I thought democracy was ailing in
Britain. I now realise that I misdiagnosed the patient. It's actually dead.
Pass this on and let everyone know. We owe it to those who turned out for this protest and we owe it to the NHS.
