Piers Corbyn was “specifically targeted” by police at anti-lockdown protests and there was a “politicisation in the enforcement of the regulations”, his barrister has told a UK court.

The 73-year-old weather forecaster was “very much on the radar” of officers patrolling London’s Hyde Park in May, Ben Cooper QC told Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday.
