False tagging in Flick - not false
I've been arguing with Rebecca Blood over the Flickr "CPE" slideshow , and investigating further, it appears I have been wrong saying the CPE photos were falsely tagged and included pictures from the November riots.
Clicking on each photo brings up a description by the photographer of where events occured, and indeed, the ones that I checked are described as related to the CPE.
The car burning photos, so emblematic of the November riots, are described as taking place at the Place de la Nation, where "due to outside provocators, the anti CPE demonstrators turned violent and a car has just been set on fire."
