Summer of rage? It's a figment of febrile imaginations

Other papers have been churning out the same spin. Kevin says that senior police officers are trying to frighten people off protesting about climate change but the climate camp have been fighting back. The media team initiated a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission about the article, "Anarchists plan City

The police need help, but they're frightened to ask
