Police are Hufflepuff - not much up top, but have the penal ability.

Neither of which are relevant to my point, which was directed solely at Del Lardo's Grauniad article. Yours was from BBC News - a source that is somewhat less 'OMGWTF! police brutality!'

Ah, fair enough, my apologies for posting something that had nothing at all to do with your prejudice over what seemed like a pretty factual Grauniad article about the police apparently abusing the Terrorism Act and refusing as usual to identify themselves

We all wrote our names and numbers down for someone last week after he kicked off and complained.

After we bundled him into the cell.

One article in itself may look innocuous enough, but it really isn't hard to find others that are decidedly one-sided, without even offering the police a chance to comment, let alone presenting the facts that suggest other than the black-and-white 'police brutality' the Grauniad might want you to believe.

I'm not suggesting that either of your accusations against the police don't happen, because they clearly do - 'G20' - but I'd also rather see reporting that is just a little less one-sided.

I think all Harry Potter actors should be arrested under the terrorism act and detained at Guatanamo Bay indefinitely.
