The Met deserve huge credit for today. Arrests of those intent on causing serious disruption and facilitation of a very large number to express their views. Getting the balance right on protest and public order is really hard and they deserve our thanks.

Not that anyone seems to care but you don't have to get a degree to join the police, you can get one on the job, via the apprenticeship. That's not graduate entry. How many times do you have to say this before your head explodes?
