Met didn't use facial recognition at Unite the Kingdom demo - but did at Notting Hill
As cops' use of facial recognition expands across the UK, why did the Met not use it at a far-right event - but did at a Black-led one?

I used to get told off by people for calling certain people fascists - apparently it weakened the word - now, those people I called fascists are being fascists - what really weakens the word is not using it when we can try and stop them and only use it when they have power

Dismayed by the "I loathe Gl**ner but his arrest should scare us all" takes. The bar for arrest over a social media post *should be extremely high*, but a guy who's harassed trans people 19 hours a day for 8 years, telling his 600k fans to attack any trans women they see, clears that bar v easily?
