'Respect' worker arrested

Suspicion of blocking the highway? Surely you either are or you're not? It reminds me of a time I was almost arrested at a demo here in George Square, the charge was to be 'malicious littering'!

"suspicion of obstructing the highway" could mean walking across a road ...

Why are the UK police acting more like the Gestapo ? (not forgetting all those stop & searches which target minorities to little obvious results)

If this affects the results (e.g. by prejudicing Respect's campaigning or image on election day) then it is another sad day for democracy.

I have to give the police the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Well done to Mr Miah. I see there's a picture in there of the bruised bingo-wing of the woman arrested yesterday - tsk tsk tsk.
