Shocking footage taken outside an illegal rave in London shows police brutally dragging youths from the scene while others are filmed being held down by officers in riot gear.
Witnesses at the scene in the Neasden area said they had 'never seen anything like it' and that officers had 'threatened them with dogs' after police descended on the event at around 10.30pm on Saturday night.Good! I'd imagine that was much to the relief of neighbours, the fire service and paramedics service who'd otherwise have to bear the fallout...
Hundreds of youths had been in attendance at the unlicensed music event which had been hosted at a newly-refurbished warehouse in the area.You know how you can avoid being dragged from a venue or staring down the throat of a snarling police dog?
Go to a licenced event, dummy!
'They are supposed to be the people that keep us safe and they are the people making us feel less safe,screaming in our faces and threatening us with the dogs.
'They were violent towards 80 per cent of the people there'.Awww, diddums!
Good to hear they are cracking down on this sort of thing but I wish they would apply the same enthusiasm to cracking down on the ER vandalism demonstrations - there is no climate emergency!
ReplyDeleteAgreed, Ivan. To allow these idiots to dig a lawn at Cambridge, close roads, abseil into the council chamber is madness. The need a dose of reality about what is, and what is not, acceptable behavour.
ReplyDeleteI noticed, here in France, that the XR idiots were doused with pepper spray. It is wonderful to hear the singing quickly subside followed by coughing.

They're all entitled youth, who throw tantrums when anyone says "no". They have a right to everything but no responsibilities. They are so easily manipulated, as we see with the autistic clone of Violet Elizabeth.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the French attempt at protest, the wastes of oxygen ignored the fact that this airport really only works two days a week in winter, (Saturdays and Sundays with lots of British and some other skiers) so the French population will not have been bothered at all.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 99% of the people who drive to the airport at the weekend drive there to WORK - most of the passengers arrive by coach (which the BBC doesn't mention).
Mind you, Cambridge plod could learn a lot from the French - gas them (almost like going for Rainbow Warrior, all those years ago!) and (figuratively) leave them lying in the ditch.
I always have a trigger reaction when I think of the Rainbow Warrior. The smile lasts for quite a long time.
ReplyDelete"... I wish they would apply the same enthusiasm to cracking down on the ER vandalism demonstrations..."
ReplyDeleteThey seem to be spending more time and effort explaining their failure to act...
"I noticed, here in France, that the XR idiots were doused with pepper spray. It is wonderful to hear the singing quickly subside followed by coughing."
Perhaps we could swap forces? We'll take the French riot squad for a week, and our appeasing Met cops can go 'reason' with the Congolese arsonists that plague Paris..?

Heh!
