Channel 5 programme on Anonymous demo at the Houses of Parliament

UK TV Channel 5 is broadcasting a "Mobs & Yobs" documentary at 10pm tonight, 3rd March 2014 - the listing says "we are on the ground, in the air and at the CCTV centre as protestors wearing V for Vendetta masks take their noisy protest to the Houses of Parliament".

The major concerns of the Anonymous movement, who identify themselves with the famous V for Vendetta imagery, have been completely vindicated by never-ending revelations about world-wide State intrusions into basic privacy - even to the extent of GCHQ spies gimping-out over the private (often sexual) communications of millions of completely a-political Yahoo webcam users.

The extent to which Channel 5 will misrepresent Anonymous remains to be seen, but the Channel 5 show will bring huge extra publicity to Anonymous protests, and should at least offer useful opportunities to get an impression of how much police, helicopter and CCTV surveillance etc actually work in context of protestors' anonymising strategies.

Optic Nerve: millions of Yahoo webcam images intercepted by GCHQ -
• 1.8m users targeted by UK agency in six-month period alone
• Optic Nerve program collected Yahoo webcam images in bulk
• Yahoo: 'A whole new level of violation of our users privacy'
• Material included large quantity of sexually explicit images
