http://bit.ly/tJs7U Guardian G20 video footage
Man who died at the G20 police (the man the IPCC initially said the police had had no "contact" with) seen here in a video getting some rather full contact in the back from a policeman. Courtesy of The Guardian.
Heard the man's son on the radio today saying his father wasn't involved in the protest, was just in the area.
UPDATE: I've heard other people saying "but why would he even be there if he wasn't causing trouble? Look, he just looks a bit shifty, why was he not running from the police, why?", so I guess you will make up your own mind. I can embed this video now:
Let's watch out for each other! If you find me mysteriously beaten to death covered in riot shield shaped bruises, don't let me be forgotten. At least twitter about it.
I had a teacher called Mr Tomlinson. This was not him.

Hmm, I've got lots of conflicting views about this dude. All of which are far too controversial for here. Lets just say it's a shame he died and leave it at that.
Just while I'm here, boo to Twitter, it's killing my enjoyment of rambling blogs!

So long as you make it clear you're expressing an opinion and not claiming to be passing on a fact we should be OK.
Yep, Twitter has sapped my energy for writing anything longer than 140 chars, I expect a lot of people are the same now.

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become.
