Ian Tomlinson - Did he fall or was he pushed ?

There will be few readers who haven't seen the video the Guradian obtained from an American citizen of the violent assault ith a baton and shoving to the ground of Ian Tomlinson about 7.20 pm on April 1st and the subsequent catalogue for 5 days of lies, untruths, distortions and obfuscations of how minutes after a a few yards away he died.

As a veteran of many marches, one sequence sticks out to us - above.

A slim young, mobile, black suited, young fit male, with a top spec (but not flashy) single lens reflex camera crouches down for some pics of the fallen and injured Tomlinson. This mystery snapper must have witnessed the assault by the burly truncheon weilding PC - who has subsequently (along with other colleagues) come forward.

Suddenly whilst everyone is focussed on the stricken newspaper vendor he does a runner.

He is not a well equipped protestor.... such a person would stay and continue clicking.

He is not a pro or semi pro photographer ... who would have at least 2 cameras, bags, flash etc.,... and probably stay for more and better pics.

He is an undercover SIS / MI5/6 operator.

They appear everywhere on marches , forever on the move, very aware of their location , they move purposefully and have a penchant for wideangle rearward shots of marches face on- ideally from upper vantage points, Post Boxes, street furniture, hanging from lamp posts. Lord Patel has a library of mugshots. One turns up regular as clockwork at Stop the War meetings in the Friends Meeting House in Manchester.

A pound to a pinch of snuff these pics will never appear part of the record or be submited to the IPCC or the City of London Plods .. more than likley he was incontact with someone to outline the incident,which led to the sunsequent charge of the police to gurad Tomlinson's (then) dead body.

The first response was to rush the story aside, then to lie, but the the flood of evidence has overwhelmed the framed story .....expect ;

1. Tomlinson had 3 times the drivers limit of alcohol.
2. There were probably traces of ilegal drugs.
3. He had a knife in his pocket.
4. He had access to a computer where he worked which the Police are "looking at".
5. Even better fairy stories than we can concoct.

Slowly the "crumple zone " of the "libertarian right will get their act together, Sami Chakrabarti, David Davis, Andew McKinley, Dame Baroness Lady Dame Jane Neville Jones to impress on the public the looming threats the Police face....

All this of course has absoltely nothing to do with aresting wannabe terrists in the North West and the sad departure to a well funded retirement by the fat Plod who arrested Try MP Damian Green in a "moment of madness".

Moral - There is no such thing as an accident. Nothing occurs haphazardly.

Quite where this videocomes within the recently enacted Terrorism Act Sect 58A ish is supposed stop people snapping pics of Police officers is unclear.

“58A Eliciting, publishing or communicating information about members of armed forces etc

(1) A person commits an offence who—

(a) elicits or attempts to elicit information about an individual who is or has been—

(i) a member of Her Majesty’s forces,

(ii) a member of any of the intelligence services, or

(iii) a constable,

which is of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, or

(b) publishes or communicates any such information.
