Despite marches, protests and a petition of over 1000 signatures, Philip Hammond claims that "overall the community are broadly supportive" of the proposals. Classic Government doublespeak.

Very politely done. Looks like it has been trained for.
This is THE OLYMPICS after all.

There was no way that the security could know that it wasn't a terrorist attack until after they'd brought the kid down.

He seems to just be cycling alongside those walking, until he was dragged in front of the car.

You know you're getting old when a "terrorist" looks that young and harmless, sweetie.

An 'excuse me, you're too close to our security bubble, move away please' would have sufficed, no?

There were definitely wires protruding from his cycle tyres.

On another thread someone suggested it was time for a certain Captain F

Not to mention between the handlebars and forks...

...and put in a neck lock, then pinned to the ground.
The police statement that he "fell off his bike" is laughable: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18756050

I wonder whether PC Chris Dainty - one of the violent plain clothes TSG snatch squads active at the N9 student demo - was one of the gravity-assisting officers involved in this incident, now that he is working at the Torch Security Squad?

There's also a protect going on today about the closure of the Lea towpath, which is a major pain in the arse for local cyclists, walkers, residents etc. The towpath was supposed to remain open during the Olympics, but a last minute decision was taken to close it for "security reasons" from now until September...even though there is an 8 foot £80m security fence protecting the Olympic site! Soldiers are now stationed at either end of the path to prevent access. Fuck this corporate Olympics shit.

Though if you pay £45, you can take a canal boat alongside the towpath....because people with £45 are obviously not a security risk

Hard to tell from those pictures...but to be on the torch security team you definitely need to be fond of getting stuck in first and asking questions later. This police attiude is the reason Harwood is up for manslaughter at the moment. Let's hope the kid doesnt have some sort of liver disease...

Aye, load of fucking bollocks. I suspect that 45 quid may rise quite a bit come the opening of this crock of shit.
