Yea, it's me. I'm also on the BBC, the Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, Evening Standard and a few others I haven't seen, apparently...
A new law came in on that day ( Monday last week...), under the terrorism act. Basically, it says photographing the police, while they are on duty is punishable by up to 10 years in the cooler if the policeman is so inclined... The protest was organised by a group of libertarian blogs which I follow and regularly comment on, the National Union of Journalists and the comedian Mark Thomas. There were 3 of us in the V masks, from the Libertarian Party, UK. We were there to further highlight the way this country is slipping into a totalitarian state. If you have seen V for Vendetta, you will know that the totalitarian government in the film is heavily based on the 1984 government as well as the current Labour government. The mask is intended to imply that we are moving closer towards the "Big Brother" situation shown in Orwells 1984 as well as V4V.
The event had nothing to do with the group Anonymous and their protests of the Church of Scientology, although, many of the Journo's there asked me if it was. I helpfully informed them that it wasn't, but, told them where to go to find out about the CoS stuff.
TL:DR
It's me.

what do you mean relief?
The CoS events are fun, I have started going again... it's the social side which interests me...
