It looks like a portal with grabbing demon hands is going to open up below him
I mean yeah if I was dumping raw sewage into my river, I’d probably expect a few harsh words in the street from my neighbours too.
The police really need to arrest this lot, they know they can’t perform their little ‘arrest’ yet do it anyway. Kidnapping people on a regular basis should be discouraged.
Imagine if a group of men tried to do this to a woman. Hopefully he sues them all for assault.
You would have thought with generative AI they’d not mess up the name of the station, it’s “Coulsdon” not “Coulston”.
A citizens arrest is possible under S24a of PACE 1984, but there are questions around subsection 3.
The article is behind a paywall (or a mass of adverts), so did they make a citizen’s arrest, and were the police then called with him being taken to a police station so that the arrest could be formally made (or him being released) ?

Climate change and environmental destruction is caused by real people with names, faces and addresses.
Good on these people for making there at least be a *very mild inconvenience* for the catastrophic levels of destruction of our ecosystems, caused by this absolute ghoul and his friends.
I do urge you to read “How to blow up a pipeline” by Andreas Malm.
Threatening to poison our water supplies unless we give them large amounts of cash sounds like domestic terrorism to me. If we had a spine as a country these gangsters would spend their lives in a cell.
