Some links I found interesting or important : From Iran to Wigan to Newport

• Protest can be a very positive force - here is an example using Pink Floyd the Wall. Significant enough to get a segment on the Today Program.
• An very worrying example from 2 years ago of Police overuse of force against a serving soldier who it appears they mistook for someone else.
• I was in Newport waiting for a train 2 weeks ago and saw the Dragons being unloaded. I suspect I am not capable of understanding why the need to damage this objects exists, but it does. Newport centre is not the most upbeat of places and something like the Dragons does improve the feel.
