My favorite part: 

 

"Each accredited NUJ member has a unique PIN number and photographic ID, and 
the police have access to a 24 hour ?hotline? that they can call to verify 
the personal details and identity of a legitimate member of the press. The 
Guidelines set out that the police will recognise the holder of a valid 
Press Card, issued by the UK Press Card Authority Limited, as ?a bona fide 
news gatherer?."

 

It seems the UK is no longer a nanny state but has become a uber nanny state 
with Elsa, she wolf of the SS, in the role of nanny.

 

Internal papers is something found in Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union not a 
democratic western state.
