Welcome back to police state Britain...


This is the video that you might have seen a brief clip of on the national news. It shows a man being repeatedly tasered in Nottingham last night and, while lying on the ground, continuing to be assaulted despite not offering resistance. A large crowd of bystanders develops, some of whom are shoved.

We make little comment. We had waterboarding in London last week, a death at the G20 protests... isn't this all getting too frequent, too terrifying and too depressing?

If this was a third world country, someone would have called in Amnesty International by now.
