Southport: Arrested for Peaceful Protest

from The Sceptic · host The Daily Sceptic

Welcome to this Special Episode of the Sceptic. Two-tier policing. Two-tier justice. Two-tier Keir. Well, we’ve spoken about all of those things on the Sceptic, especially how they’ve been in evidence in the Government response to the disorder up and down the country after the Southport murders. Much of this was in towns in the Midlands and the North, but it was in London, outside Downing Street, just two days after the attack, that my next guest was part of a peaceful protest against knife crime – when he, along with dozens of others, was arrested, placed in a prison cell and held for nearly 24 hours. Never charged – for there was nothing to charge him with – he’s now suing the Metropolitan Police for false imprisonment and assault.  Donate to the Daily Sceptic to access our premium content.
