Secret Policing dribbles

[Michael Barwell]

• Interesting report on BBC 'Thinking Allowed' the other day, on 'Blacklisting'; I get this ref all the time, "black" & "job(s)", carrying that ref on from c.2009/2010 from 'Ben' - "They lose people their jobs"; alot of auditories thru' listening to the report too; under heading 'Hoods' - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qy05...nloads.rss .
  
  

• Another interesting BBC report; The girl who was strip-searched aged 12 by police - By Adrian Goldberg Presenter, 5 live Investigates 30 October 2016 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tl99q.../downloads .
  

"They were "horrible and demeaning", Georgia Wood says of the police officers who strip-searched her when she was just 12 years old.She remembers being taken into police custody in south Wales eight years ago by officers who suspected her mother of possessing drugs.
"They didn't explain to me until we got to the police station. And they literally just said 'this is what's going to happen and we're going to do it'."
"For someone to just be so horrible and demeaning, I just thought 'well, if I'm meant to respect my elders, aren't my elders meant to respect me'?" she told BBC Radio 5 live Investigates.
"And I really didn't feel respected in that situation."



Really stood-out on BBC txt for a few hours, as it had a whole 7 pages under 'Main News Headlines' & 'UK News'- never seen more than 2 pages, outside of 'Newspaper Headlines' section. Seemed to get all-but dropped from the broadcast news.

"We enjoy watching you walk thru' town, naked"... the Woolies pick'n'mix priggish-prurience of the extreme authoritarian basket cases.
