This news story is about Victoria Borwick encouraging demonstrators to make complaints against the Metropolitan police.
This is a link to a video on a major newspaper website.

But the point of this posting is to call out to anybody who was at the last student demo in London. I know many from Bristol attended because I read the reports.
This news story is about Victoria Borwick encouraging demonstrators to make complaints against the Metropolitan police.
Borwick is the chair of the Met’s civil liberties panel. I never knew there was such a body, seems like an oxymoron to me but she and many others have a point. All the time these type of tactics continue then the risk of someone being killed again increases.
Anyone who’s been on a march where kettling is used will know how out of order the cops are. It is most defiantly a tact used to distract media reports from what the issues are that brought about the protest in the first place.
So come on – get your complaints in there – and see you on the next demo!
