Metropolitan Police "heavies" wade in...
... and dump a pedestrian into a hedge. 
Happened during the first 20 minutes of "the torch" being carried in the UK.

To be honest I'm finding the whole 'torch thing' a bit of a propaganda exercise and I'm sick of seeing it 24/7 on the BBC. Why does something like this need such security? What's it afraid of?

From today's Independent:
The determination of the BBC to exploit its exclusive rights as broadcaster is understandable, but it has lost all sense of proportion. Its main news webpage yesterday had no fewer than 15 separate stories about the progress of that damn torch, under such headlines as "Excitement at relay across Wales", "Elephants salute Olympic Torch", "Police want torch centre stage" and "People unite around Olympic flame". That last one is especially spooky – it really does make one feel as though this is North Korea rather than a country supposedly characterised by individualism and nonconformity.

weather for that bit of the country before they eventually actually tells the rest of the population whether it will be raining or not Hopefully they will not be sending more reporters (from the new Madchester office, thus lots of extra hotel bills)) than "Team UK/Brit/England/er?" are, er, wait a minute...

Yup, and every fecking weather forecast has to mention each individual "community" that the bit of fire will be passing through and the precise weather for that bit of the country before they eventually actually tells the rest of the population whether it will be raining or not
Hopefully they will not be sending more reporters (from the new Madchester office, thus lots of extra hotel bills)) than "Team UK/Brit/England/er?" are, er, wait a minute...
