Three topless protesters were detained yesterday while trying to break into a hog roast held for Stoke City Council to call attention to the needs of the city's massage parlour workers. The men took off their tops and tried to climb a fence before being detained. "Crisis! Made in Stoke", read one message painted across a protester's torso, while others held banners that said "Criminalised, because of you" and "Gangsters party in Stoke".

Staffordshire Police spokesman Barry Shanks said the three men were taken to the police station and told that they weren't allowed to leave until they confessed to whatever crimes they were charged with. He said they would be released later in the week. They weren't allowed clothing in their cell. "The boys down at the station had a good laugh at them. It's good for morale."
