You know what is really stunning, Maggs? There are only 10 million people in Portugal - and police abuse and corruption seems to be endemic.

I really don't know why they bother pretending anything changed when they had their supposed 'revolution', it looks like the same old police state to me.

Bonny,
Watch and listen to the video, at the child screaming and neighbours going mental at the cops.

That is appalling, Maggs. How many of them were there - I lost count at 10. Thank God these things get filmed nowadays.

It is appalling Bonny, and that man was Portuguese. The poor child screaming his lungs out, for his daddy. No wonder their tourist trade is down, would you want to go there, on holiday?

I'd rather stick pins in my own eyes!

Can you imagine what anyone seeing that would have thought? It might have been justified if the man was a suspected terrorist, it certainly wasn't over a mobile phone.

The comments are interesting; there are a good few that have very obviously come from the nearest police station - the police are wonderful, the public are scum, the usual line.

But the rest - the police aren't very well thought of by the public, are they? I see it took TWENTY officers to deal with a man using a phone whilst parked with a wheel on the pavement....that isn't serving the public, that is a police riot.
