They all knew what was going on. Every chance they had they had him arrested – for using the town hall public loo, for trying to leave a meeting early, for trying to ask a council question as to why he had been wrongly imprisoned and why the punishment was continuing after he had been acquitted on appeal at Manchester Crown Court. I witnessed their treatment of him so many times and I, on occasion, begged the police not to arrest him.
