Thanks John, revealing article. Had to laugh at the end though when they showed the letter that got released. Literally the whole thing, 2 pages worth, was redacted except for the quoted sentences: 'In light of the challenges posed by this year’s Extinction Rebellion protests, there are opportunities for much-needed legislative change to update the Public Order Act 1986. My colleagues and I will continue to work constructively and positively with ministers and officials to take forward these changes.' and the letter heading, a hand-written 'Dear home secretary' and the sign-off 'Cressida Dick Commissioner' (which itself had something redacted to the right of it). What other nefarious BS have they been putting together behind closed doors? cheers, I
