Hype around the wedding makes sense

Now we can see why the police wanted to hype the fears around the Royal Wedding, leaking false stories into the media for a month now, a media that is likely to support these raids.

With this social space and the Rat Star in Camberwell both being raided on the same day, clearly two spaces that are doing local community work, but providing easy targets.
