Audio 1: Commander Bob Broadhurst speech at the NUJ Photographers Conference, (18.05.09).
If you missed Commander Bob Broadhurst at the NUJ Photographers Conference, here are two audio files of it. The first audio file is of his speech, which he cut short after upsetting the audience over who is a legitimate journalist and who is not, plus his lack of understanding of how the UK Press Card works.
The second audio file is of the very lively debate and discussion between the 200 photographers in the room and the head of the Metropolitan Police Public Order Branch.
Later on that day, this happened, kind of sums it up.
