@Rutle Thanks. It was mostly peaceful, yes.

This news story is currently breaking across the globe not through the network media but instead by thousands of citizen journalists with cameras.

[EdoZamboni]

@pirohabilis Indeed. Some freedom not to be taken to granted.

something that really does bug me is the number of people taking photographs!!!!

[EdoZamboni]

@CelticReject and videos (including myself)!

But these days any event, from family gatherings to demos, is usually hyper-recorded. Interesting.

@EdoZamboni Yes I guess that's true. I am a bit of a grumpy old thing sometimes. Mind you, one thing that rrreallly bugs me is seeing people filming and photographing at Glastonbury!! I don't know why. Perhaps it goes against what I remember Glasto to stand for. Cheers, CR,
