An exclusive with ‘An Anonymous Met Police Officer.’ All the officer’s observations coincidentally align with a Daily Mail editorial. Doesn’t have any opinions on a Home Secretary geeing up hooligans to have a punch up with his colleagues. Who were sent out not wearing any riot gear.
Suella Braverman was right to accuse police chiefs of 'double standards' in how they tackle different protests. And I should know – because for the past decade I have served as an officer on the Met's frontline.
We have seen appalling anti-Semitism, with mobs calling for jihad against Israel. My colleagues have been ordered to police these intimidating displays of disorder with the lightest of touches.
It was the same with Black Lives Matter protests and, for a long time, the hugely disruptive stunts by groups such as Just Stop Oil.
In contrast, anti-lockdown demonstrations during the pandemic were robustly dealt with by officers in full riot gear. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... -line.html
