Big Brother is watching you, or maybe not.
During an interview on Channel Four news last Thursday the head of the IPCC was asked, "why has no CCTV footage of the Mr Thomlinson incident been produced". His response was "there are no CCTV cameras in the area where the incident took place".
Strange then, that the Daily Mail today prints pictures from the scene and there are indeed CCTV cameras overlooking the spot where Ian Tomlinson died.

The IPCC have since issued a clarification:
LONDON (Reuters) - The police watchdog probing the death of a man during anti-G20 protests in London said on Tuesday its chairman had been wrong to say there was no CCTV film of the incident and that such footage might indeed exist.
A case of incompetance, or a cover-up in progress?

Extremely unlikely, actually. For one thing, Brown is not the first or the last unelected PM (Major in his first term, Callaghan, Macmillian in his first term, Churchill in his first term, Chamberlain).
Also the House of Lords can actually veto (not suspend, veto) any act that attempts to increase the life of a parliament. The last time such an act was passed though was during the war (which it didn't stop for obvious reasons). Consider on top of that the Lords isn't nearly as partisan as people think it is (unlike the Commons, which is). Plus Labour peers are far outweighed by total opposition peers.
