Protesters descend on masters of war summit
Thousands arrive at Nato’s Newport meet
THOUSANDS of protesters will descend on Newport in south Wales today making a stand against next week’s two-day Nato summit.
Organisers claim the protests could be the largest in Wales for a decade and thousands of additional police officers have been drafted in from forces across Britain.
Earlier this year the Morning Star reported that the Police Federation had briefed members that up to 10,000 officers were going to be deployed for the summit at a predicted cost of millions of pounds to the public purse.
