Making communities safer since...
The police have not been asked to comment on whether this strategy is due to institutional racism or an attempt to conserve policing resources following recent large expenditure on persecuting the environmental left movement.
Either way, with forces from around the country being deploid to ultimately allow the far right to continue plotting to exploit the unfolding domestic economic, climate and energy crises, those seeking racially unified approaches appear in this case to be actively discouraged by a state police force again involved in unfavourable political policing.
Jumping the gun?

Is it racism? biker festivals & traveller festivals have been banned just as much, anything that corporate state feels it cant control & order for "peace" whilst some in it are happily bombing civilians.

[....."Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan police commissioner, allegedly bugged Britain's most senior Asian policeman, according to leaked Scotland Yard documents. The papers allege Tarique Ghaffur, an assistant commissioner, had more than 300 of his telephone calls tapped in an elaborate operation overseen directly by Blair. He was also photographed and taped attending more than 30 meetings with a fellow officer at restaurants and cafes in west London. Ghaffur's lawyers are preparing this week to announce formal legal proceedings for race discrimination against Blair, who was placed under formal investigation by the Home Office this month......"]
that's today's Telegraph : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/lawandorder/2574570/Sir-Ian-Blair-Metropolitan-Police-commissioner-had-his-rival-bugged.html
all top order you might think. We've all wanted rid of Blair I'm sure for a long time. I even wrote it out in characterestic prose following the "summer of Terror UK '05", arguing that a Blair resignation would go down well in far off places where they'd think he was a close relation of Tony.
Now check out the "top order" angle, this is last month's Telegraph :-
"Met Police chief Sir Ian Blair on collision course with London Mayor Boris Johnson - Britain's top policeman is set on a collision course with Boris Johnson after rejecting the London Mayor's call to have powers to "hire and fire" the chief of Scotland Yard."

it's a similar tactic to being questioned over stealing your own credit cards it's a way to intimidate you to give your details to the police and it's not just non-whites it's anyone they suspect of not being British, a slightly foreign accent is what they look for
anyone who experienced this at the camp get in touch with legal and let them know what happened -we have to publicise this

I know people who went ot the climate camp and the police were rough, confiscating stuff, spreading rumours of dysentry. Anyone with similar experiences know how shitty the police can be, as though they are looking to provoke a reaction, even at otherwise peaceful protests
