Hampstead Heath. As ever, prime territory for the Machiavellian skulduggery of the north London metropolitan liberal elite. For the honourable lentilman himself, Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, has been caught red-handed and cautioned by the police on that very turf.

And it wasn’t long until the coppers turned up to take control of the situation:
There are some strict rules about filming on the Heath, which warn against “long-term damage to the landscape fabric” and require requests for permission from visitors using filming gear.
That’s why no one managed to get a professional shot of the most important political moment of this parliament: when Ed Miliband met Gareth.
