Professional job
Commenting this morning, Theresa May said: ‘I think the police did a very good, professional job yesterday in London in dealing with the demonstration.
‘What we sadly saw in London yesterday was yet again what would have been a peaceful protest with the students who wanted to make their point - and this government believes in enabling people to protest peacefully - but sadly that was disrupted by a small minority who were intent on damage, on vandalism and on potentially worse.’
