Tower Hamlets blogger Ted Jeory has told how he was ejected from a council meeting after complaining about inadequate seating room for the press.

Jeory has said he was “frogmarched” out of the town hall by two uniformed security guards on the orders of the council’s head of communications.

The blogger has admitted he called Takki Sulaiman a “prick” and that he regretted this. On the communications worker, he said: “He and I have a long history. He dislikes my journalism and I dislike his attitude to press freedom.”
