Senior police focused too much on ‘kettling’ during the march against spending cuts last month, human rights campaigners said.

A review by 120 legal observers from Liberty said the containment tactic was under near constant consideration when potential trouble emerged.

Thank goodness we have Libertarians in this country prepared to speak out for our valued freedoms.

Everyone has a right to speak up, but what I do not agree with is violence. EDL’s main motive is to cause trouble/violence.

The police have an incredibly difficult job and it is impossible to get it completely right from everyone’s point of view.

Liberty were welcomed by the Met as they know the police need monitoring as much as the next body.
