They say the law is an ass, but this is incredible:

I dont know, have to say, while Im sympathetic to the horses being being injured, it's a fairly sad but expected indictment of the police who will use any form of media to project their story, some of the people there also know well what the police will do and looking at footage of the Poll tax riots in london in the 80's they rode roughshod over people including women and likely would have done over children too (probably did, would have to look at old footage) they have used fairly brutal tactics to deal with people, a lot of people turn up when there is huge dissatisfaction, the authorities begin to get concerned when the have nots realise they have been taken for a ride and their elected representatives are in the pockets of vested interests, just sayin.

Out of curiosity what has the British govt been doing to the people that would cause such a large protest?

PS: There is little to no coverage that I have seen locally in the states so I'm kinda ?wtf?

Nothing. These people are anti capitalist and from time to time demonstrate, which they are quite entitled to do, provided they act within the law.

Without wishing to get into a political discussion or argument, I am simply amazed that the magistrates saw fit to bail these people without identifying them. It beggars belief!

Seems to me that a protester should be able to identify themselves when asked. Until then sit in jail and wait till you remember who you are.

I have to agree. Unless they have something to hide, why not.
