Wetherspoons (and the Police) Allow Drunken Nazis Onto Roof

While ordinary drinkers are arrested if they drink in public on the streets of Nottingham, the neo-nazi football hooligans of the EDL were allowed to get drunk on the streets outside Wetherspoons, and seemingly the staff of Lloyds Bar knowingly served alcohol to drunken customers.
The picture says it all - you can see for yourself that the EDL's travelling army of football hooligans were allowed to break the law and drink on the street.
Many of them appear drunken and disorderly, and, just to prove that Wetherspoons have no ethical considerations, the EDL ringleaders were allowed to climb onto the veranda-style roof, endangering health and safety, while drinking.
Neither the pub's staff or the Keystone Cops bothered to apprehend these men who climbed on the door, and drunken nazis were continually served throughout, even though to serve drunken customers is a criminal offence in itself, and can result in a premises losing its licence.
In the United Kingdom, there seems to be an unlevel playing field in terms of licensing law. JD Wetherspoons pubs throughout the length and breadth of the country have been at the centre of violent incidents with late night drinkers, but because the company is listed on the stock exchange, and is a global international brand, no matter what happens in and around its pubs, its pubs never seem to get closed down.
Ordinary leasehold pubs on the otherhand get closed down in an instant, if trouble occurs, showing the mere hypocrisy with capitalism.
The manager of the Lloyds Bar in Notts must be fined for allowing its customers to get drunk and stray onto the roof, and THERE MUST ALSO BE A STATEMENT FROM THE POLICE as to why they did not arrest these two men who climbed the roof, when normally, if they have been mere drunken revelllers on a night out, they would have forced them down, and bundled them into the back of a police van, and the men would have charged with public order offences.
It's not too late for the police to take action even now against these EDL organiers who scaled the roof. Their faces are clear to see, and if the rood had collapsed, the men stood beneath it would have been seriously injured, and possibly died. Their actions endangered lives, much to the ambivalance and apathy of J Wetherspoons PLC.
I don't know about conspiracy theories, but the failure of the police to act when EDL members openly break the law, and fascist-friendly licensed premises do likewise, does lead many people to believe the EDL are state-approved, and unless the police issue arrest warrants against these two men, there needs to be yet more urgent questions asked about the priorities of the Nottinghamshire Constabulary.
