I wrote this article about the London protests with quite a bit of help from fellow KBF members...many thanks. It starts in July at Speakers Corner with a helpful policeman and moves on to the arrest of Dr Schoning and then the late November protests. NB NetPol publish Know Your Rights guidance.
Please read and share my article.

The met are out of control . FUKING disgrace .
They have made enemies of just about every class and age .If the shit hits the fan ,they only have themselves to blame .
it will if they keep going at this rate . So out of touch , mindless automatons.
If they can’t see how arresting old lady’s and chucking them in a van is wrong then they will deserve everything that may end up coming to them.
Riots and major unrest is not unheard of in London . If it kicks off they won’t be getting much support from the public .
Thanks. We were in Brighton on Saturday where there was quite a big police presence but nowhere near like the Met.
Thanks for putting that together Nigel. I didn't know the Manifesto Club existed until now. I just replied to a post by Andrea on the forum about the police brutality yesterday and the sheer numbers of them:
'Andrea - The difference between the Met police and here in Manchester is unbelievable! I was protesting last Saturday and there were about half a dozen of them walking with us tops. Even though we were walking down busy Market Street and stopped the traffic on quite a few occasions, all went down really peacefully, and that's how it should be.
It all depends who is at the top of the police force and who's commanding operations. I still have an ongoing complaint with the Met from the September protests. I'll let you know of any outcome good or bad.
