I know this thread has got a lot of frivolity going for it and is all good fun
, and well done PauliW with the picture, but I must just add a note of seriousness and digruntlement and say how disgusted I am ( Disgusted in Dover) with this police tactic of Kettling.I assume thats how you spell it. Kettling.
It made me furious to think that students were held in the streets..ILLEGALLY.. for up to eight hours. Legal experts have said that it is illegal and it should be properly challenged in the courts with a view to outlawing it as a tactic.
The students have a legitimate right to protest, as we are often told, and there was no violence of any kind until they were Kettled, and even then it was minor.
The sooner this tactic is dropped the better. My daughter has been on these demos, not sure if she was on the one yesterday, but she is entitled to demonstrate without being detained by the police for 8 hours.
