Yesterday marked one of the most shameful days in the history of the Metropolitan Police as they arrested peaceful protesters including a blind man in a wheelchair, an 81-year-old woman with Parkinson's, a former British army officer, and a bunch of, um, Quakers.
It’s being pretty widely reported in the shrinking non rightwing press - even the Grauniad jumps on every granny arrested for terrorism charges.
Good. This is a horrible misuse of law and the government should be made ashamed of it.
I don’t often support protesters, I’m not that easy to rile, but to me these people are heroes and much braver than I am.
