“We got your name; we got your address…”
Dec 28: four 
thugs from consulate general in Manchester intimidated a RFA reporter who was checking out some anti-CCP messages painted on the sidewalk outside the consulate by someone else. They ordered the reporter to stop recording and said they were calling the police, claiming in a threatening tone that he couldn’t record videos of them or the consulate without their permission — even though the reporter was doing his job in a public area — and that they had “image rights” — just like what Newton Leng brazenly told Dr K at the King's Cross St Pancras station in London on Jan 19 — while hostilely closing in on the reporter as he backed away…
The reporter finally called the police after he was boxed in by the thugs who refused to let him leave.
Police officers arrived moments later, and said, after ascertaining what was going on, reporters enjoyed freedom of the press and could shoot pictures and videos in public places. They took down the reporter’s information before leaving.
