Why can’t there just be a march to Hyde Park like the old days. It’s so bloody dangerous in those streets. And the police are nervous because of the cramped streets and previous years of violence.

“Whatever he was doing, Tomlinson was with the protestors and within cordon.”

Indeed. And that may yet be the most interesting aspect of all this. Tom Brake MP was inside the cordon too as a legal observer and was told he could not leave (see Lib Dem Voice) and Al Jazeera’s London correspondent was actually being filmed reporting when the police charged and bundled him inside the barriers (see Youtube). If kettling is technically detention, the police have just detained a member of parliament and a number of accredited journalists, as well as Mr Tomlinson.
