A gross waste of police time and it’s disgraceful to have a quote from the police suggesting that the officers were at risk so turned up in numbers to arrest granny and her peaceful friends. Unsolved theft and burglary and rape is where police time should go. Pathetic.
The government thought they were pulling a fast one by using the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2000 to proscribe a non-violent protest group. They couldn't have foreseen that thousands of people would be willing to be arrested to highlight that abusive constraint on our right to protest. They must be regretting it now. It'll be interesting to see what the judicial review next week decides.
