It does look cage like if they were in the sports court.

30 to 40 is being quite generous I think. Looked more like 10 to 15 to me. They weren’t in the ball pen. They were further down Witton lane just inside the entrance gate which was open.  They were just stood silently holing up an Israeli flag and 1 placard. At least that’s all I could see. I must admit it was only a casual glance as I walked by I happened to see them by accident rather than my attention being drawn to them by any rowdiness or over policing.

TBH that was where I expected them to be when it was first mentioned they were "in the park on Witton Road".

If one thing came out of last night it's the overwhelming bias of the media in such cases. Whether Islamophobic or pro-Israeli, something very nasty was revealed.

Conflict and division sells much better than peace and unity.

Yes that was me and somebody questioned me calling it a park. I think 30-40 in there including Tommy Robinson newspaper types. Some shock jock on GB News I think Josh Howie called it a Jew Cage and to at seemed too attractive to other media not to exaggerate.

Seemed effective policing to me as open space on the other side of the ground to the Palestinian mob, a lot of whom seems to come from Dudley judging by their fluorescent jackets.
