Yep, that's the key thing. i genuinely suspect they pre-write things. Why else would the front page of yesterday's Evening Standard have 'police were bombarded with bricks and bottles' (plausible sounding for a riot, but untrue) when the big report inside could only talk of 'fruit and paint bombs'?

Maybe next time we should print up spoofs of 'tomorrow's newspapers' cos we all know what they're going to say. The Daily Mail will always find a sneering mohawk with a beercan.

I'm curious about why people who target an empty Royal Bank of Scotland building - at the heart of the financial and climate crises - are thugs to Pooley, but no mention of the cops who waded into people and broke heads for no reason. As usual.

At the climate camp thing on Bishopsgate they tried to spark it off about 7pm and, just like their incursions to the climate camps at Heathrow and Kingsnorth, they failed. As at those other times, people stood their ground but held their hands in the air to show they were unarmed and chanted 'this is not a riot'
