Aside from the fact that this starts off with lies anyway - the photos have all been published on the net by the met last year - a very balanced article indeed...ahem.

Photo exclusive - Do you recognise May rioters?

NAME A THUG

DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN? Protester outside Downing Street

PICTURED together for the first time, these are 28 prime suspects in Britain’s biggest manhunt.

Police are racing against time to track them down before a wave of riots and mayhem hits the streets.

The clock is already ticking. Latest intelligence pinpoints May 1, May 2 and possible election day May 3 as the likeliest dates for trouble.

That’s 46 days from today at best to stop a wave of destruction that cost millions when it first ripped through London last May 1.

The 28 were all captured on police videos and CCTV during last year’s May Day riot in London.

Then 5,000 anarchists tore through the capital, desecrating the Cenotaph and Churchill’s statue, trashing businesses and attacking police with scaffolding pipes.

Det Chief Inspector Jim Dickie, who is leading the hunt, codenamed Operation Rileyhill, told the News of the World: “These men are all wanted for questioning. I would say to them, if you were demonstrating peacefully you have nothing to fear. But if you’ve committed a criminal offence, we'll identify you and we'll get you.”

At least three of the 28 pictured here are believed to be members of the Turkish communist party. Cops believe overseas anarchists will be in the thick of any new rioting.

In just one day after last year’s outrage, seven out of 11 people who appeared in court held foreign passports.

Do you recognise any of them or know where they are? Call the police on 020 7321 9251, Crimestoppers on 0800 555111 or the News of the World on 020 7782 1001.
