>>I'm not saying the guys in balaclavas were police, just that it was possible they were.
Brompton, forgive me, I thought you had denied this possibility. It turns out that you repeated it!
This is an extremely serious allegation to make, don't you think? And don't you think that if the police were in the habit of being on 'both sides' in a fight that this would have leaked to the press somewhere? I am utterly astonished that this could even be considered to be a possibility in the UK.
I am not suggesting that the riot police are a gentle bunch; poets, musicians, composers and artists. But there's a world of difference between over-reacting and actually having agents provocateurs in the crowd pushing the unsuspecting victims towards the waiting policemen. Marxist activists, more like, don't you think?
