Interesting article in The Spectator about how the civil liberties of football fans are routinely denied. Thoughts ?

It's difficult to disagree with anything written in the article. As far as many police officers are concerned football supporters are a sub-species.

Totally agree with this. In situations like this I'm always reminded of the fact the police are supposed to serve us, the public. How is this serving us?
