The cops appear to be clamping down in advance of the demonstrations in London and Manchester on Saturday. They have been busy briefing journalists defending the use of “hyper-kettling” and charging protesters with horses - see for example  http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2011/jan/27/hugh-orde-police-protest-tactics
Seven people have been charged with public order offences and a further 5 cautioned from previous demos.
