I’m a Blogger, Not a Terrorist | Do You Get The Picture

Trafalgar Square was the setting for a wee protest on Saturday afternoon. There was a mass gathering in defence of street photography. It seems that minimum wage security guards with low IQ’s and cops that couldn’t catch a cold let alone a criminal have started to get paranoid that every single person with a camera in London is a potential terrorist. If only they would put the same effort into catching real terrorists and criminals. But that is too much like hard work for them.

I may not be a photographer, I would rather refer to myself as being a one of London’s finest bloggers. But you cant exactly have a blog without pictures or video. It is after all the 21st century and we live in a visual world where pictures and videos help to tell a story, they make it become more alive and real.

I haven’t personally had any problems taking pictures around London and I have taken thousands, apart from when I attempted to take some at Westfield Shopping centre and I was stopped by the security . And believe me that was no great loss, I just wanted to show the world how soulless a place it was inside.

I attended the I’m a Photographer, Not a Terrorist, protest at Trafalgar Square on Saturday, before the situation gets out of hand. I feel that dumb security guards are just bored out of their brains and are looking for something to do, when they harass photographers taking pictures of buildings. But the cops they should know better, they are after all well paid public servants. People need to stand up for their rights and civil liberties, before clueless cops and politicians fuck up society even more than they are trying to.

If the police want to harass and search every tourist, blogger and photographer that pulls out a camera in London, they are having a laugh. What the fuck is happening to this country. If you take a few snaps of St Pauls Cathedral or the Houses of Parliament, you are a potential terrorist or if you fight back and hurt a mugger or burglar you could end up in jail. I better not say anything about judges, social workers or fucking do gooders because that will really spoil my good mood and day of rest.

Trafalgar Square has been a place of political protest since it was first built. It was the perfect place to stage such a protest, whether the Government or the police will pay any attention to the people that pay their wages is another matter entirely. They need to get real!

Did you know that Trafalgar Square is  the fourth most popular tourist attraction in the world. You do now!
