Summary
<p>As violence broke out at protests in Bristol against the repressive Policing Bill - with police vans burned and windows smashed - almost all media coverage has solely focused on the police's point of view. Today we redress that imbalance: both Louis and Saranya were amongst the protesters on Sunday and tell their side of the story, alleging police aggression and provocation - and they talk about a generation which has been stripped of security and hope.</p><br /><p>They also talk about the real menace of a Policing Bill which grants the police powers to ban all peaceful protests - and which particularly targets Roma, Traveller and Gypsy communities.</p><br /><p>Help us take on the right-wing media here: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXI1bUJVTWhHdlRkSGdCVkJDY2ZjNWhFbzJTQXxBQ3Jtc0tsZzBMc0R4eWl3Q1FhRVdZcncwU0tEVVF3REpMalJDc1Q1dGdWQ2pLTkxZenBpRFNUZUFudUM5czRLVVp6V3V2cHNBYTN5cGltdzJoVFVSd1h3cGZwdWZtQzVCVmlWLVl3bG03TUE4MFVDRmZTRkVxQQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fpatreon.com%2Fowenjones84" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://patreon.com/owenjones84</a></p><p>Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast</a>.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
