I'm a photographer not a Terrorist

I've just come across the website I'm a photographer not a terrorist.

It features some really useful stuff for the Tog about town:
  • A bust card - similar to my very own Photography in Public Places wallet card though much more detailed and authoritative on the new anti terror legislation.
  • A useful map showing places where you can't take photos.
  • A Shop where you can buy "I'm a Photographer not a Terrorist" T Shirts. I wonder if you would get stopped less if you were wearing an "I'm a terrorist not a photographer" T shirt.
As they say on the site:

We must work together now to stop this before photography becomes a part of history rather than a way of recording it

G20 Protests round two

After the excitement of yesterday things were expected to be much calmer today. I decided to head down to bank and check out the damage. Things weren't too badly damaged, but a lot of graffiti had appeared.


My Banker

As far as I can work out the protesters were against the war, against the bank bail-outs and in favour of West Ham United!




Graffiti on The Bank


The Duke of Boots in front of The Royal Exchange bore the brunt of some unusual graphic abuse too.

Message for the fallen


Yesterday a protester died of a heart attack and at lunchtime a small group walked into the Bank square to lay flowers and leave messages for the unknown protester.


I think you may have...

As more people arrived scuffles broke out, arrest were made and the square closed down to prevent more protesters joining the fray.
