  2. Yes. It’s a tactic used when there are planned protests and counter protests. One group is escorted to one area away from the other group to stop people clashing in the streets when tempers run hot.

    Regardless of the political opinions or leanings of the groups or even the officers themselves they have a duty to everyone in society, even when they disagree with one another. This is one of the ways police can achieve that without infringing people’s human rights.

    This is not supporting or being anti anything.

  3. It’s almost as if they were worried that the anti-migrant protesters, dog whistled by Farage, were likely to commit acts of violence against those not sharing their opinion. Or skin tone.

  4. Telegraph with another balanced take, I see.

    Police didn’t “take” counter protesters. They escorted people who were going for security and safety.

    As is common.

    I’m just amazed the headline didn’t manage to shoehorn “Woke” or “DEI” in there somehow. Since they seem to be trying to go down a fox news route.

  6. They are taking hard left wing agitators to peaceful protests!

  7. This is wild. Only bigots are allowed outside the hotels!

  8. Rent-a-thug! Used at all “far right” peaceful protests, shut down the NGOs using this tactics, you’ll soon see the difference in protests.

  9. Its socking that its a fact that the police deliberately bused in far-left agitators knowing they would flair up trouble, then so brazenly lied to cover it up!

    This is what paid state actors look like in a so-called “counter protest”…

  11. The police have been working tooth and nail to keep counter protesters away from Palistine demos. But they bus them in on this occasion? Its all very transparent.

  12. No I live in the real world!

    What did 14 years of austerity do apart from rip apart the fabric of society and make the wealthy richer?

    You seem to live in this world where workers are not really needed and neither is a public services, we just need to,work for who?

  13. So the police did not take the protestors there. They escorted them there. As they would any other peaceful protest on either side of the debate. Next.
