The solicitors we recommend who specialise in suing the police are ITN, based in London. We are in touch with them and they have said people can call them to discuss possible claims. If you would like to meet up with BDS to talk first, we can arrange that - let us know.

Police may continue to make further arrests, given the inspiring resistance by those trying to protect our community from attack. Please keep each other safe. Let's avoid telling stories, bragging and sharing information that may get people arrested.
