In the order it is stated that he must not enter Home Bargains or Sainsbury’s in Whitchurch.

West Mercia Police posted on Facebook: “To comply with the order, Kettle must not act in an aggressive or threatening manner, must not throw anything at any person or property without reasonable excuse, and he must not enter Home Bargains or Sainsbury's in Whitchurch.”

The order also commands that he must leave a premises if told to do so by a member of uniformed staff.
