  • The police seemed to have been cowed a little after their willfully aggressive policing of last year's G20 protests, the TSG haven't cracked anyone's eye socket for weeks now - but after seeing students smashing up Tory HQ, the broken windows, the fires, missiles, assaults and so on - I bet ACPO can't believe their fucking luck, with the prospect of many more 'cuts' protests to come, the students have handed them on a plate the very excuse to return to a more 'robust' (kicking, shields in faces, broken teeth) approach.

    A lost opportunity.

    All the media saying how unprepaired the police were, how they let it get out of hand and how they didn't do enough to try and stop them has also just given the rozzers a good excuse to come out swinging (so to speak) at the next large protest.
