Spin doctor: Well Ken you’re on the Today programme this morning, what are you going to tell them?
Sir Ken Jones (chairman of the Association of Chief Police Officers): Sorry?
Spin doctor: No Ken, you have to come out fighting
Sir Ken: That’s what got us into trouble in the first place
Spin doctor: Just mention the water cannon, CS gas and rubber bullets
Sir Ken: Christ, we didn’t use those too did we?
Spin doctor: No Ken, just say we’re the only country in Europe that doesn’t use them
Sir Ken: What about Holland or Belgium or Sweden or……
Spin doctor: They won’t know that. Say that the police response at the G20 was proportionate, that’s if you look at the whole event of course
Sir Ken: You mean it wasn’t a complete massacre?
Spin doctor: Exactly. Now off you go
