Hard News: Hip in the Square, in reply to Russell Brown,
One thing that's probably safe to say is that it will eventually be seen that not everyone involved did the same things or had the same motivations and interests.
Like I said at the time, they were practising their powers. If there were a real threat we would, mostly, all be grateful that they had a response in place I suspect but I think the powers that be should back off and admit that were the truth, it would do no harm to admit it was a show of strength and that they have "the power".

If Mubarak falls the siege of Gaza will be over too.
A bit of a stretch but then it is the middle east. Always coming up with politics those people then the Greeks get all clever on it and before you know it the Italians get in on the game and you know what they're like, all hand wavey and judgemental, fall out even with each other till theyse only gots one City and pretends it were built by wolves or summut and then it gets even smaller an' they gets Popes an stuff, got a lot of land an' money but... now where was I?
Oh yeah, Egypt. They had done all that before but it got covered in sand an' all the grass died........... -

But Wait.....
The number was in addition to the 16 arrests and 76 evictions, mainly for smuggling alcohol, at the Westpac Stadium yesterday.
Smuggling Alcohol?. That suggests, to me anyway, that there is some kind of excise avoidance going on here, well if it were truly and purely a sensible decision to only allow punters small and limited amounts of beer or a commercial one to sell concessions to the highest bidding brewery, owhy, then why are the police involved?
Smacks of big business using the police to do their profit protection to me, You gotsta pays yo dues.
Oh how I am looking forward to the RWC.
NOT!!!
