GREATER MANCHESTER POLICE have agreed to pay compensation to “Priti Fascist” activist Liam Geary Baulch, who was arrested outside the Tory Party conference last year. 

Mr Geary Baulch attended the conference on October 5 2021 to conduct a solitary protest against plans by then home secretary Priti Patel to increase police powers relating to non-violent protest.

He planned to hold up a small sign that read “Priti Fascist” and tried to take up position about 30 metres beyond the police cordon surrounding the conference venue but was ordered by officers to move to a designated protest area.
