Contretemps

Contretemps
This lady was cross. I think she was cross with the police guys in the car, who seemed quite happy to let the community types brush her off. I mean, why bother getting out of the car if they're already communing with the community, right?

There was a crowd of people making a protest about, oh, I don't know, animal rights, standing outside the beigel shop on Brick Lane, you know, the white one, the good one, the one that's been open 24 hours since 1376 or something, the one with the excellent bakewell tarts, just shouting the same sentence over and over again, which would have been fine except that there were only about three words in it and I can't even remember what they were. Hardly surprising though when there was a big bunch of cops stood idly by on the other side of the road, just watching and casually videotaping them. Ah, technology. The great democratiser.
