The British Journal of Photography once again quotes Mr. Jeremy Dear, general secretary of the NUJ, in terms which make it difficult to avoid the conclusion that NUJ policy is that it is perfectly acceptable for the police to persecute photographers in general, provided that they wave through with a polite salute members of his union who display their press cards.
One cannot help but remember the Guild of Soviet Writers in this unhappy context.
He will find out in due course his error.
I do not, I am afraid, agree with Legiron that “the Righteous” are finished.
Nor do I, frankly. As long as there is the seemingly inexhaustible supply of people thick enough to say with one breath “The government ought to spend more money on such-and-such” and with the next “I don’t want to pay any more taxes” the Righteous will have their parasitic host immediately to hand.
