Amps Well, some of them work for LBC, so I think they are journalists, what their politics are I don’t know. Either way, they shouldn’t be arresting anyone with a press card.
Except carrying a press card doesn’t give you diplomatic immunity from being involved in an illegal activity.
(LBC news seems to be pretty heavily left leaning btw, considering the likes of James O’Brien and snapping up Emily Maitlis, wouldn’t be a surprise if some of its journalists are happily in cahoots)
Amps Nor should they shouldn’t be arresting people for peaceful protest.
Preventing so many people (and emergency services) going about their business and lives is hardly just “peaceful”.
