Mr Winters said: “Today we are issuing pre-action protocol correspondence against the relevant agencies engaged in the operation which was overseen by Counter Terrorism Policing South East. Mr Winters added: “Detaining George Galloway in a bid to try and silence him because of robustly-expressed political views which are in many ways uncomfortable to those in authority will simply fail.
