There's an event happening at New Scotland Yard tomorrow 10.30am that is absolutely *not* protesting police misinterpretation, over-zealous use of and occasional abuse of their powers under section 44 of the Counter-Terrorism Act. Powers that are to be further enhanced by the new section 76 that comes into full force tomorrow.

Unfortunately I can be there but I would encourage anyone who can be there and cares about preserving their legally protected right to take photographs in a public place without let or hindrance, against which no legislation exists to head down to New Scotland Yard tomorrow for around 10.30am and take some photographs. Remember, this isn't a protest, it's just a bit of photography.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
