Which leads me to think is the police action really over the top or just the only way in which the authorities can deal or know how to deal with such protests? There have been many confrontations between protesters/strikers and the police over the years (Wapping, miners, poll tax, may day riots etc) and each and every time accusations of police brutality but how do they deal with it in a proper and correct manner.  In my wilder and younger days, I've suffered from tear gas in Paris, a head butt in Poland, a good kicking at Orgrieve and the arse torn out of my jeans by a police dog in Rotterdam; with just the single satifaction of managing to stick a lighted cigarette up the arse of a police horse at Wapping on my "goals for" account. I've never whinged about it and just taken the attitude that it went with the territory of being in a confrontation. And that makes you a nice guy Merse? |

But look at the bigger picture...............Merse probably deterred that horse from taking up smoking in the future.  After all, it's a filthy habit....... ...................Well done Merse!!  |

I think the RSPCA should be informed - he's lucky it didn't kick out in pain. I would if my arse was on fire!!

He probably put it in the wrong way, got the poor thing hooked on nicotine and it ended up in far more pain!! (Possibly then went on to father the great-great-great-great-grandfather of Himalayan Trail....)  |

What do you expect someone to do when charged by police horses, offer them a lump of bloody sugar? It DID kick out AND it dumped the lesbian riding it on the cobbles ;D The stupid cow asked for it as she had turned the beast around and used it's backside to push people back, anyway THAT one got off lightly there were people heating up railing poles in a brazier, and I often take a look at where that happened as I drive along The Highway E1 and the missing rails are still not replaced to this day. I can just see the court case now twenty five years after ...................."I call the first witness for the prosecution ~ a tin of glue called Dobbin"  |

Thanks for putting that up pete. It shows that the police were not doing such a wonderful job of allowing Londoners to get on with their daily business. I hope the thug in a uniform is charged and punished...but it will probably be swept under the carpet. |

Arise chivalrous Sir Weathergull, you're people await you! I don't care whether the rider is a copper, a hussar or Lester bloody Piggot; if they back half a ton of horse flesh into me I'm going to defend myself first and ask questions later. I haven't whinged and moaned about what she did and somehow I don't think she was the listening kind after displaying THAT sort of tactic. That was the whole point of my original post on this subject, have your protest but don't belly ache about it being contained, if someone is aggressive towards you, stand your ground and defend yourself. The trouble with the "PC" brigade is their total lack of a grasp of reality and their pre-occupation with imposing THEIR lifestyle parameters on others. You make me suspect that you think that police horse was some sort of Shetland Pony ridden by Lady Godiva |
