'Keeping Met on its toes: a guide'
Related Articles
31 March 2009
The 10-point cut-out-and-keep guide "to keeping the Met on their toes" is printed in a newsletter sent to direct action protest groups ahead of the summit. Police fear that protests tomorrow involving a coalition of activists could spiral out of control and lead to rioting in the City. Activists in turn have accused the police and media of inflaming legitimate protests by warning of fears of violence.
Point six of the guide, published by Brighton-based direct action collective SchNEWS, says: "Horses: One tactic is stringing up lines between lamp posts." It also urges activists to wear shin pads on their arms to guard against police batons.
