>after all, this is not Russia, is it?<

Maybe you should watch "on The Verge" - the SmashEDO film. Or go up to the EDO
factory and see how the uses of megaphones (under a council by-law) and cameras
is being controlled. Or see how said film has been (and is still being)
discouraged from being shown by the police. Or have seen how the police
recently made holiday makers and passers-by delete footage from their camera
phones after they had filmed a protester being assaulted by the police outside
the Sealife centre. I could go on.

Their are many people in Russia too who think everything is OK.

With the ever increasing crackdown on freedom and civil liberties and the ever
increasing powers of business in this country people around the world will soon
be saying "after all, this in not Britain".
