Game over for namby-pamby tutu-wearing coppers – we want police we can respect!
‘The looks on the faces of the Just Stop Oil protesters who actually had their collar felt by police rather than being offered tea and counselling was priceless, writes Stephen Place.’
In an unprecedented turn of events and with a show of actual policing, the Met has started arresting Just Stop oil protesters walking in the road and causing untold difficulties for Londoners trying to go about their daily business.
Reading out the law – section 12 of the public order act – and refusing to engage in conversation with these entitled muppets, the Police have demonstrated that they have gone from woke to proper law enforcers, which is exactly what they are paid to do. It is also exactly what the public demand.
It`s long overdue and I sincerely hope it is not one maverick officer but a diktat from above – 86 arrests have been made recently and from 156 slow marches, 125 conditions of section 12 have been imposed.
Initially, protesters refused to move from the road clearly believing they would be offered counselling and cups of tea.
The look on their faces of utter disbelief, when they were arrested, was priceless.
