Commenting on an “informed warning” for Gerry Kelly over his obstruction of the police when he jumped on the bonnet of a landrover, TUV leader Jim Allister said:
“This is political policing in action. While flag protesters are pursued by a special Public Order Enquiry Team and subjected to charges under the Serious Crime Act, the authorities pander to Bonnet Kelly with a meaningless “informed warning”, something which amounts to nothing.
“This will do nothing to restore loyalist faith in policing, but, rather, it will perpetuate the present disconnect.”
