On Wednesday night I attended a lecture at the Portcullis House http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portcullis_House (which is an office building for members of Parliament.)
The event was hosted by the Hansard Society http://www.hansardsociety.org.uk/

The lecture was present by Tom Watson, MP pictured below, seated at the table:

If you watched any of the hearings regarding News Corp International executives, then you know that Watson was quite the questioner. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/phone-hacking/8881739/Tom-Watson-Mafia-boss-comments-to-James-Murdoch-in-phone-hacking-inquiry-were-not-inappropriate.html

Last night Watson primarily focused his comments around the FOI (Freedom of Information Act).

On Tuesday night I attended Evensong at St. Paul's cathedral. My usual approach to the cathedral was different due to temporary "detours" that have been set up since the Occupy Movement began a camp outside the doors of St. Paul's. Yesterday, there was a ruling that the camp must move.

I'm posting some pictures that I took at about 6pm on Tuesday the 17th.
