Have you heard the one about Guy Ritchie injuring himself whilst juggling cutlery or Amy Winehouse's hair being set on fire during an electrical outage at a party? Chances are they would have appeared at one stage in the daily newspaper that flops on the floor in the morning.

Director Chris Atkins has assembled footage to demonstrate how oppressive these new powers can be. The 82-year-old holocaust survivor was lifted bodily from a debate at the Labour Party conference for, as talking-head Tony Benn points out, , rightfully, saying that Jack Straw is talking , nonsense, about Iraq. We see a man who tries to protest against the treatment of this old man also set upon by security, and learn that he was later handled roughly , and that poor old Wolfgang was next detained by the police under the 2000 Terrorism Act.
