Tonight in the House of Lords, inspired by LBC reporter Charlotte Lynch, an amendment to the controversial Public Order Bill was passed to protect journalists and others who observe or report on protests from abuses of police power.
Reporters like Charlotte Lynch play a vital role in any democracy, informing us all about what happened on any particular demonstration. What were the arguments for and against? How much disruption was caused? How did the protesters and police officers behave?
But even in Britain, this job has got harder in recent years, with more and more powers of stop and search and arrest, drafted in such broad terms that inexperienced or badly trained police officers can begin to see reporters in public order situations as an irritation and fair game. I will never forget Charlotte’s professionalism and courage in reporting on her own ordeal on Nick Ferrari’s morning programme that informs and encourages our democratic debate.
