Not just in Ireland, across the water the image of the friendly bobby is also taking a bashing. What makes this case different is that it doesnt just hinge on the question of individuals being assaulted by the police; it also takes the form of an action over breach of Civil Liberties.

The police intend to call Ken Livingston (in his capacity as mayor of London) as a witness. I await his testimony with bated breath.
