Protesters, Public Order, Precedent & Police Intervention with Douglas Brand

<p><b>Brief Introduction for Show Description: </b></p> <p><b>Protesters, Public Order, Precedent &amp; Police Intervention with Douglas Brand</b></p> <p>The United Kingdom is being wracked in recent months and years by protests that seriously interrupt the normalcy of daily or urgent activities of the public: rail strikes, strikes by nurses, ambulance crews &amp; dispatchers, teachers and most radically, climate change and anti-fossil fuel advocates closing down motorways or obstructing entrance to facilities.

Add to that, the role and point of intervention, if any, by the police and you have a hot topic, on which career police officer Douglas Brand will expound for us.</p>
