The Chief Constable of Herts Police "has promised an investigation into the arrests of journalists covering climate protests, amid accusations the force was threatening press freedom". As if he doesn't know.
There's talk of future arrangements to allow "legitimate media" to report on protests. What about normal freedoms?
FWIW, whilst the right to protest must be preserved, I think the Stop Oil protesters should focus their protests on Westminster tube station, Parliament Square, Downing Street etc and inconvenience the decision makers rather than people using the M25.
