Bristol's mayor, Marvin Rees, has said violence that broke out during demonstrations in the city against the government's anti-protest bill was counterproductive and may be used as evidence of why the legislation is necessary.
Rees said the perpetrators were 'living out their fantasies of being revolutionaries' and had made no contribution to furthering justice for marginalised communities.
He added: 'It goes against everything we have been doing in the city these recent years to build partnership and collective action'
