Well, Universal Shami was never going to see anything POSITIVE about the policing of the “Trade Unionists against Reality” demonstration in London a few weeks ago and so it is natural the BBC afford her a soapbox to spout her predictable bile against the Met. Since when did Shami represent anything beyond a little liberal clique and why does she be given such massive prominence? Why was there no other group holding different views represented? And why did the Met allow her access to be able to watch the policing of our Capital?

Truly nauseating interview with Assistant Commissioner Lynne Owens and Shami Chakrabarti, director of Liberty on Today this morning. The essence, as presented by the BBC, is that the Met are trying to be more polite to street demonstrators and will be tweeting them, providing them with public toilets and bottle of water in future demonstrations. Not sure if aromatherapy is also provided but you can bet it is at least under consideration. However, Universal Shami is still not content with the tactic of “kettling” and you will share my delight that the Met have invited Liberty into their control room for the March 24th TUC coat-trailing exercise through London. Yes, Shami will get to decide if policing meets her high standards. Just two question; WHO elected her that her opinion matters so much and WHY is the Met allowing this particular pressure group such key access?
