Perhaps fittingly, Amir Amirani’s new documentary We Are Many characterises not only the notion of mass public protest, but the rise of the political documentary itself. In it, we travel back to 9/11, what many commentators have since referred to as The End of History regarding national security and privacy, which gave birth to a protest movement that has manifested itself in countless ways over the last thirteen years. Equally so it has given thousands of hours’ worth of material for filmmakers and activists to reach a bulk audience with.
The attacks on the Twin Towers were a prelude to the Iraq War, the main focus of Amirani’s film, and he invites academics (including perpetual talking head Noam Chomsky), as well as politicians from Clare Short to David Blunkett, to speak about the social, political and moral implications of the 2003 global protest against the decision to invade. It’s...

Last-Minute Angling Ahead Of UK Media Ethics Report Lord Justice Brian Leveson‘s report into UK media ethics will be published Thursday. Today, key cross-party figures from the House of Commons and the House of Lords voiced their opposition to statutory control of the newspaper business. In a joint letter to The Guardian and The Daily Telegraph, more than 80 signatories including Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, London Olympics chairman Sebastian Coe and former home secretary David Blunkett, wrote the solution to abuses of the press “is not new laws but a profound restructuring of the self-regulatory system.” But The Guardian also reports that prime minister David Cameron, who had a 24-hour advance look at the report, is likely to reject proposals of a re-jiggered form of self-regulation. The question of whether any form of regulation will be legislated by law remains hotly contentious. Leveson’s recommendations are likely to be strong,...

Britain's Queen Elizabeth saved a blind politician from accidently kissing her elbow. David Blunkett admitted he 'messed-up on the hand kissing' during a meeting with the monarch but praised her for her discretion in saving the situation. He told Radio Times magazine: 'I managed to mess up the hand kissing. Well, not quite because the queen saved the day, as no doubt she has on so many occasions over the past 60 years. I had been pointed in the right direction to reach the cushion on which to kneel as to brush my lips across the queen's hand or rather pretend to. 'Unfortunately, I wasn't quite lined up and pointing in the right direction and was in danger...

Britain's Queen Elizabeth often cuts up meat for her dogs. The 85-year-old monarch surprised blind politician David Blunkett at a lunch when she offered to cut some meat chops he was having difficulty with and explained she often prepares food for her corgis. David told the Radio Times magazine: 'I had the privilege of sitting next to the queen at a lunch where Barnsley chops were being served. Now I'm sure everyone understands the difficulty in getting the meat off the bone and the fat off the meat. Clearly seeing that I was struggling, the queen asked if she could help me and I declined.

9.00am: It's a big day for Europe. Angela Merkel and Nicolas Sarkozy are meeting to thrash out details of a plan that could set up a fiscal union in Europe and may (or may not) lead to some sort of resolution of the debt crisis. But this blog - like the UK - is sitting on the sidelines. My colleague Alex Hawkes will be covering the Merkozy meeting on the business live blog. And I'll be covering events at Westminster, where the most lively before 4pm will be Leveson - The Sequel, a star-studded committee hearing featuring Hugh Grant, Steve Coogan and Max Mosley who may well spend an hour telling MPs and peers exactly what they told Leveson.

Director David Bond does a disappearing act to see how easy it is to get lost in our surveillance-obsessed society
In this chillingly admonitory movie, director David Bond becomes the centre of his own documentary thriller by disappearing from his North London home for a month and seeing how easy it is for a pair of investigators to track his movements around Britain and Europe. His journey is interspersed by interviews with security experts, Stasi victims, civil rights lawyers and others concerned with the fact that Britain is (after China and Russia) the third most surveillance-ridden state in the world. The witnesses include Timothy Garton Ash, David Blunkett, Henry Porter and Helena Kennedy, and there's an edgy score by Michael Nyman.
