Riot training day is unacceptable
A company that offers experience days for parties and corporate entertainment has been accused of encouraging anarchy on Britain's streets.
The riot experience day is offered in an industrial park in Droitwich, Worcestershire.
Participants can dress as either rioters or the police and are armed with body armour, batons and riot shields to engage in a staged riot.
Experts also show them how to throw petrol bombs and missiles.
Wish.co.uk who offer the day on their website, say the experience is so popular, it's fully booked every weekend for the next four months.
Peter Luff MP has written to the Chief Constable of West Mercia Police to voice his concerns and urge that it is banned.
