trust the MET to be involved/leading, stupid Wales coppers getting into bed with the MET https://www.morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/baile-hoose-police-attack The activists at Baile Hoose, in Tradeston, Glasgow, said that 20 Metropolitan Police and Welsh officers broke into the neighbouring building and attempted to enter the occupied site through a reinforced door with a “battering ram” at about 3am this morning. The raid was apparently called off when Police Scotland arrived and “calmed the situation,” the occupants said. A Scotland Police spokesperson said officers had attended the property at 3am “following concerns for the safety and security of those using the building,” adding that “officers will continue to engage with those currently in the property.” Speaking outside the occupied former homeless shelter, one activist said that occupants had been left scared and traumatised by the ordeal.
