Are these terrorists?
Or yobs?
Dangerous Anarchists?
Or just some of the best of Britain's young people getting politicised
by the police state.

"After a mob attack on Great Yarmouth police station in the early
hours of Sunday morning, officers were sent to a rave on Hafrey's
Industrial Estate."
And note the almost identical opening paragraphs of the following two
news stories, supposedly from independent sources.
Mob lays siege to police station

Fifteen people have been arrested after a police station in Norfolk
came under siege in the early hours from a crowd of 100 people hurling
bottles.
The attack in Great Yarmouth happened after police arrested three
people in a van carrying sound equipment.
Police said 200 officers then broke up an "unlicensed music event" at
a warehouse on Harfrey industrial estate outside the resort just
before midday.
Forty-four cars were seized at the event, a police spokesman said.
'Serious risk'
The attack on the police station was declared a major incident by
Norfolk Police and Ch Supt Bob Scully said: "We acted swiftly to
control the situation and restore order.
"What occurred was entirely unacceptable and inexcusable.
"This was large scale anti-social behaviour and officers dealing with
the incident were put at serious risk.
"It is behaviour that won't be tolerated."
Two police vehicles were damaged and officers narrowly avoid serious
injuries, police said.
More than 100 officers from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire
police forces took part in the operation, which finally ended at 1030BST.
People have been warned to stay away from the Harfrey industrial
estate, which is being treated as a crime scene.

A Great Yarmouth police station came under siege in the early hours of
this morning when a group of more than 100 people hurled beer and wine
bottles at the building.

midnight. Police later attended an unlicensed music event on an
industrial estate.
The attack was declared a major incident by Norfolk Police amid
reports that officers only narrowly avoided being injured by the
objects being thrown and two police vehicles were damaged.
Chf Supt Bob Scully said the arrested people were not involved in the
police station attack, but they were linking the two incidents. He
described the night's events as shameful.
He said: "We acted swiftly to control the situation and restore order
what occurred was entirely unacceptable large scale anti-social
behaviour carried out by a large group of people. Officers risked
serious injury and this type of behaviour just will not be tolerated.
Fifteen people have been arrested in connection with the siege and
with a burglary at the Thermaglow factory on Boundary Road.

places the organisers of the rave sought out as a possible venue,
before moving on to another premises on the industrial estate.

were involved in bringing the rave to an end, just before 10.30am this
morning. Twenty-four special constables were also called in.
