Default Climate Camp Policing - Shocking!

Ok Im going up on the soap box here.

I just saw the news on the climate camp for Kingsnorth Power Station and was shocked at the number of police sent to keep the peace on the site. Now I respect that we pay for the services they provide and they do serve and protect our communities. And I do actually think they do a reasonable job given the constraints they have to work within.

What does grate me about this is that our local carnival was cancelled because the police wanted a whole load of money to send officers to police it. Now is this not their job? Why do they patrol the above free and not the carnival.

Rant over, I step down from thy soap box.
