      Head Shots

      A few seconds ago, all was calm: just a small group, mostly men, gathered in the street outside a quiet little bistro. Sunday night on a north London street, nothing much happening. Could have been almost anywhere.

      Hey, Andy! A lightning-flicker of flashes, a whirr of winding cameras.

      Over here, Andy! A scrum of bodies, mostly men, converging on a man who has appeared in the bistro's doorway. A mad buzz of noise from the collected minds.
