Hmmm, I spent 3 weeks in London last May, wandering around taking photos of
lots of things, including some of London's policemen, yet never once was I
hassled, in fact I was totally ignored.
Truth is that if they were to stop every one with a camera in London or any
city for that matter, they'd have no time to do anything else. Tourists
abound everywhere.

Australians have lots of really great sayings to describe someone such as
you.
However I am too polite to use them.

And you have evidence of photographers/tourists with towels on their
heads being stopped?

The best way to do that is to not reply and stimulate him.

You live in Quebec, right? Province of nanny state LIBERALS who LIVE
to run everyone's lives. No wonder you'd favour a Brit dictatorship.

Fascists, you mean like ones who make people sign loyalty oaths on
fear of punishment?
From the Wall Street Journal
By JAMES TARANTO
The Met Office, Britain's national weather service, "has embarked on
an urgent exercise to bolster the reputation of climate-change
science" in the wake of a whistle-blower's revelation of widespread
misconduct by climate scientists, London's Times reports:
More than 1,700 scientists have agreed to sign a statement
defending the "professional integrity" of global warming research.
They were responding to a round-robin request from the Met Office,
which has spent four days collecting signatures. . . .
One scientist told The Times he felt under pressure to sign. "The
Met Office is a major employer of scientists and has long had a policy
of only appointing and working with those who subscribe to their views
on man-made global warming," he said.
The concept of scientists--or journalists, or artists--signing a
petition is ludicrous. The idea is that they are lending their
authority to whatever cause the petition represents--but in fact they
are undermining that authority, which is based on the presumption that
they think for themselves.
The problem with the petition as a form is also a problem with the Met
Office petition's substance. The purpose of the petition is to shore
up scientists' authority by vouching for their integrity. But signing
a loyalty oath under pressure from the government is itself a corrupt
act. Anyone who signs this petition thereby raises doubts about his
own integrity. And once again, the question arises: Why should any
layman regard global warmism as credible when the "consensus" rests on
political machinations, statistical tricks and efforts to suppress
alternative hypotheses?
To be sure, Joseph McCarthy was right about communism even though the
ways he combated it were wrong and counterproductive. But that's all
the more reason that honest scientists who view global warmism as
credible--if such creatures exist--should rise up against these
McCarthyite tactics.

No. People like you who hate anybody who won't goose-step to your
ideology of greed and hate.

That would probably mean that you do not fit any profile that they are
targetting I would guess.
Fact is I think is that there has not actually been that many cases and has
been something of a beat up by the press.
