Is this a different Pooley to the one who commented on the G20 protests saying 'all those coppers are equally as guilty' and calling them 'bastards'?

Just wondering.

And you are right to wonder.
Let me rephrase - I have personally only had positive experience of the police.
I wasn't at the G20, so didn't consider that to be an experience I had had.

Those police were bastards (as were a lot of the protesters, by the way) but not having been there, I cant really consider it as a personal experience...

Having not been there you can't really say a lot of protesters were bastards either can you ? Ever heard of Agent Provocateurs ? There were a fair few tales of there seeming to be a few of those at that protest.

I think what I'm saying is, as you say you have no personal experience, weren't there, and never are, etc, etc, um... shutup ?

I've never had a bad personal experience of the Iranian religious authorities. Nor of a Soviet labour camp.
