If you didn’t vote in today’s European and council elections, you should watch this. This is how a country without a democracy operates.

    “Certainly protects them from the sun” – nothing like a bit of British humour in the face of authoritarianism.

    They showed Kate Adie’s 1989 report on News Channel yesterday. Can’t get the link to work at the moment, but really worth a watch:

    Henry Clarke Price’s last blog post..I am very easily amused.

    Very interesting when police powers in the UK are being used to stop legitimate reporting. If that had happened to James with the UK police he may well have been arrested and his material confiscated. At least you know where you stand with the Chinese!
