I sincerely hope that the injured recover fully, and that the police learn a lesson about crowd and traffic control due to this incident.

Identifying the driver so quickly seems to have quelled any possible violence, locally and nationally.

Last Saturday, due to a rugby final, many roads here were closed to ALL road traffic. Police were dotted around to make sure that nothing like the Liverpool incident could happen.

But I was waiting to meet up with friends who were in the stadium, and I saw many, many food delivery riders racing around on the closed roads at high speed on illegal electric scooters, illegally-modified electric bicycles and the occasional illegal Ebike. The police appeared to have ignored all of them, even when the roads became packed with fans after the match. The stadium had been close to the maximum 75,000 capacity.
