On his blog at the Telegraph, Damian Thompson has posted this disturbing and depressing clip which shows the police utterly craven and helpless in the face of the hysterical ranting of a radical Islamist. Do watch it, and as Damian says, watch it to the end.
It brings to mind a memorable piece of footage which was carried on BBC's Newsnight during the Danish Cartoon protests in central London a few years back. This showed a passing driver, who had stopped and got out of his vehicle in protest at the murderous placards being waved by the demonstrators, being sworn at and threatened with arrest by the police, who were heard clearly to shout at him 'It's the way they do things.' Interestingly, this particular clip was seen nowhere else, not on any of the main bulletins.
The 'sensitivity' training which the police receive is obviously bearing fruit.
