Brutality. Theft. Unemployment. Just Another Week in London.
It's been an interesting past few weeks. Life in London is never boring, that's for sure. I'm sure you've seen the reports of the G20 protests that took place not long ago. The fallout from the protests and ensuing police retaliation is still taking place in London. Considering that a man may have indirectly died due to police brutality, there's been a microscope on the Metro police ever since. Just the other day, another police officer was suspended for being overly aggressive. While people tend to complain about video monitoring, in an age of ubiquitous mobile phones, it's hard to imagine seeing a news report nowadays without mobile phone images and video - for better or worse. My own mobile phone was recently lost to the beast that is The Joiner's Arms in Shoreditch. It seems to have quite the hunger, as I'm not the first person I know who has lost their valuables there - I don't mean their "wits", although that applies as well. Thankful...
