Quote:
Following the mass arrest, activists claimed they had been "tricked", as they said Clark had assured them that after leaving the store they would be directed to the nearest tube stations and free to go home. Their claims were backed by video footage obtained by the Guardian, which shows Clark denying that anyone would be kettled or detained after leaving the store. It was not known at the time whether Clark was aware that the activists would in fact be arrested.
The Guardian can now reveal that the police admit deception in the lead-up to the mass arrest.
