| Comment | What I don't understand about this....the SDL/Loyalist/Fuckwits were at the cenotaph at 6pm. The anti-eviction protest gathered at 7pm. So why did the police let it get to the point where the 2 groups were there at the same time? They ordered the square cleared AFTER they'd arrived and the far right lot kicked off. They could have ordered it cleared BEFORE, arrested the SDL lot and then the anti-eviction demo could have gone ahead. It looks a lot like the police just sat and watched a crowd of Nazi's gather then ordered a lawful protest to leave? And the police knew in advance that all this was going to happen too - the SDL were advertising this gathering on facebook. Did the police not have a plan beyond 'watch what happens'? |
