Police response too heavy handed?

I just found this tidbit from a BBC news piece about a man trying to glue himself to Gordon Brown:

"When he left the building he tried to glue himself to the gates of Downing Street but had his hand detached by a police officer."

Aren't we always told we live in a nice, civilized country where the establishment doesn't routinely 'detatch' the hands of political protesters? If this is the state of Brown's Britain, I want no part of it.

I've only just realised

I've just realised, far too bloody late, that I should have called this 'Out of Blog Roll'.



Bugger.
