EPUK has launched www.photorights.org to keep track of access denial incidents and try and provide some basic information about what photographers may legally do.

So far, these incidents are getting recorded piecemeal, if at all, at dozens of different locations, where everybody grumbles for a bit and then gives up. Yes, the NUJ are collecting reports, but limited to pro's.
Photorights is open to pro's and amateurs as both groups are encountering problems, and wants to become *the* UK access monitoring site, so we can amass evidence for effective use, press reporting of the issue, and public debate.

That security guard is a 'Dad's Army' Warden Hodges for the 21st Century. I really hope those guys go ahead and pursue him for common assault.
