If police have to move them all by making lots of arrests, dismantling tents etc. etc. then that would take time & any heavy handedness won't go down well even among those of us who see this lot as misguided plonkers who've been hijacked by the extreme right nutters r' us brigade.
the speed and efficiency of the supply lines in setting up, the portaloos, the stage and sound system.
it all costs and takes time to organise.
while the protestors were fragmented and incohesive the event itself was not.
the police were completely and woefully unaware of what was happening around them,
and by the time they acted the village was dug in.
