I didn't intend to come across as critical of the police and fully appreciate the difficult task they faced (I have several close friends who are serving officers). My point was that in the first photo you can't really see any police but in the second there are some police behind the photographers which raised the question. Perhaps, I could have expressed this with more clarity.Philip Ritchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05912352719196616923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529016898634168069.post-56992608128381109992010-11-14T22:07:22.565+00:002010-11-14T22:07:22.565+00:00I love the message, but I'm not too sure about...I love the message, but I'm not too sure about the example. One of the main problems identified was that there simply weren't enough police. They put themselves in danger daily, so it seems a bit much to ask them to throw themselves in front of some hideous person hell-bent on violence.<br /><br />It's such a pity that that the first taste of political activity students get is a pointless parade made worse by a bunch of thugs.Beccahttp://beccasaid.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529016898634168069.post-12694244821374684362010-11-14T16:47:12.385+00:002010-11-14T16:47:12.385+00:00One of my favourite TV ads from a few years ago wa...One of my favourite TV ads from a few years ago was for the Guardian. It showed what was ostensibly an attack on an elderly lady perpetrated by a skinhead. However, when the scene was replayed from a different angle it was revealed that the skinhead was actually pushing her out of the path of a falling heavy object. This gave a very different meaning to the action.<br /><br />I have always found it comforting that God sees the big picture where so often we have only a limited view of what might be going on.Revsimmyhttp://revsimmy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
