I do find it mildly and darkly amusing that "the press" (mainly the right wing rags, admittedly, but they're not alone) has been honking loudly about more crackdowns on protesters for years and being generally unsympathetic in its coverage of Just Stop Oil/similar environmental protests and the result of that appears to be they get caught up in the inevitably harsher crackdowns too.
Terrible for the journalists/snappers, of course. Though I doubt it'll lead to a bit more reflection on the timbre of their coverage in future despite this latest worrying development.
