My main issue is that, in my ever so humble opinion, the aggravated trespass was just an excuse to arrest them. Rather than arresting those who were causing genuine criminal damage.

btw, re your comment
Independent
Fortnum & Mason said the loss of trade during the protest would cost it about £80,000 but physical losses were restricted to the theft of a number of bottles of wine or champagne and slogans which had been daubed on to the exterior of the building.
Interesting article.
I do have a few comments. Given that the protest was against Fortnum & Mason, I wouldn't trust them as an unbiased source. However, I don't doubt some wine bottles might have been taken. Afterall, anyone, including thieves, could enter the store - but I don't see any reason to tar 138 people with the same brush.
