Why aren't these people just rounded up, arrested for trespassing / obstruction / resisting arrest / etc, hit with a thrown book, and prosecuted to the limit of the law.

Who said they wont be? 46 out of the 100 arrested have been charged.

Mostly these days the limit of the outome of a prosecution for non-violent offences appears to be a fine. These oxygen thieves generally have no money that they haven't stolen from us.

Edited for spalling mistale.

... my question relates to how many will face any form of conviction other than a trivial slap on the wrist.

Well how many would you like to clog our prison system up with for "public order offences or obstructing the police (ie sitting down in front of them)."

A sense of perspective is needed...or 30 to 40 more prisons.

This is how it should be delt with:

Heres the bill for the police time you wasted with your camp. If you cannot afford to pay as you do not have a job then a job will be provided for you.

Your 1st job: I've been for a dump after last nights curry and my arse needs cleaning...stick out your tounge and get to it.
Your 2nd job: Walk to scotland and pick up every bit of litter on the way. Your metal hood will not be removed until you arrive.

Boils my piss. fking mentalists.

Also, 1400 officers, 1000 people? Suppose 2 shifts = 700 officers for 1000 people?
