This really is amazing - to be force-bundled inside the Post Office. Over here that sort of thing just wouldn't happen - the counters are so badly managed that there are always too many queuing people crowding inside. Couldn't even contemplate there being enough space to swing a parcel, let alone a hand-cuffed protester. Shame also you didn't see them coming with the cuffs - presume you were unemployed at the time - i.e Radar wasn't working...?
