The lawyer of the two men who were involved in the incident at Manchester Airport last week,this morning held a press conference with TV cameras present. The two men who were involved in the fracas with the police were there accompanied by their mother who the lawyer claimed was also injured. This was a fully fledged press conference which their lawyer said was being held to give 'context' to the allegations that the men attacked the police. He went on to give this 'context' in great detail,giving an almost minute by minute account of the situation unfolding,of course all from their point of view with no mention whatsoever of the police being violently attacked or a policewoman suffering a broken nose. I was really shocked to see this,gobsmacked really. Surely this would prejudice any upcoming trial,or are the men not going to be prosecuted? This lawyer used some incredibly inflammatory language and seemed to be accusing the police of racially motivated brutality. Under the current tinder box climate in the UK I really don't think this is helpful,but more than that who gave permission for this press conference to take place? I've never seen anything like it with a so called ongoing police investigation.
