What a weird week

I'm going to be nice about the boys in blue for the second time in a week!

Dennis O'Connor has published a report into the police's management of public protest, and it's a gem. He's called for a major reappraisal of the attitudes and behaviour of the police, and has called for them to return to the values of consensual policing, rather than seeing their job as opposing protest - less automatic surveillance, less violence, more care.

What's more, the police seem, so far, to have accepted it.

Life's suddenly becoming all serene.
