Olympic Policing Measures Like Using A Sledgehammer To Crack A Nut – Huhne
Commenting on measures that will allow police officers and officials to enter private homes near the Olympic site and confiscate protest material, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Huhne said:
“This sort of police action runs the risk of using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
“The police should take a deep breath and read the excellent report from the Chief Inspector of Constabulary on the tolerance of protest.
“We should aim to show the Chinese that you can run a successful Olympics without cracking down on protestors and free speech.”
