Catallaxy regular Fatfingers showed just how dexterous he can be at the APEC protests last week. If you follow the links below, you’ll be able to take a gander at the photographs he took, with some pretty decent video footage to follow. He’s in the process of editing the latter, so if anyone wants copies, they’ll need to contact him via Facebook or in the comments.

Photographs are available here.

UPDATE: While I’m at it, I should spruik the Catallaxy Facebook group, which you can join (if you’re so inclined) here.

UPDATE 2: More pics available here (hat tip to Terje).

    I gotta tell you, the guys in the pic look totally preppy.

    But since when was ff a fully paid member of the LDP? He joined the dark side? Good for you ff. Never again will I abuse you. Unless of course you say something really silly. And even then I will treat you with respect too.

    Good onya FF for showing the flag.

    I’m not a member, JC. I just think free trade is the way to go. I also like a good demo. It was fun.

    “the guys in the pic look totally preppy”

    Educated white middle-class men - what would the world do without us, hey? ;-)

    Make sure you let us know when your video footage is ready - will be good to see it.

    Terje deserves lots of praise for putting this demo on. And many thanks to the guys who turned out. Like JC, I will only abuse Fatfingers with great respect from now on.

    *Crikey had this to say about our rally,

    ‘The APEC rally that has really got me interested is being organised by the wild and crazy libertarians of the Liberty and Democracy Party. I can’t make it to Sydney this weekend, but will stand on Smith Street, Collingwood, brandishing a copy of The Road to Serfdom in solidarity. It’s a pity I can’t get there, because I’m a little worried about the turnout. I’m reminded of these words from the philosopher, P J O’Rourke:

    “How come,” I asked Andy, “whenever something upsets the Left, you see immediate marches and parades and rallies with signs already printed and rhyming slogans already composed, whereas whenever something upsets the Right, you see two members of the Young Americans for Freedom waving a six-inch American flag?”

    “We have jobs,” said Andy.’*
