Plod has 'regrets'...

[Brigadier]

Morons. There must've been more fuzz per square yard than anywhere else in the country around the route and they thought to take their stash.

Addicts can't help themselves. Sense doesn't come into it.

Were all the anti Monarchy protesters arrested? They probably targeted known rent-a-mob troublemakers who were probably gluing themselves to roads a while back.

 

[Odds]

The grounds for arrest were in fact non existent as plod has admitted!

Plod in conjunction with the ruling elite used social media/right wing press to sow the false seeds of 'reason for arrest' beforehand...

Anyone who supports these actions believes not in any form of democracy or free speech in the UK!

People were plainly allowed to protest, as long as they adhered to guidelines listed [email protected]

This was fine...

This was not...

There were only four arrests made and, as already stated, two of them were for drug offences.

It was the coronation for goodness sake, slightly over zealous policing is in order.

Well you've just condoned the death of freedom of speech in the UK !

Do you have any beliefs that oppose the decrees of the ruling elite?

Given your statement it appears you would be happy to 'zip your lip' if told to do so by threat!

Could you tell us where the controlled protests were allowed to take place?

And from your post are we to assume that you care not a jot about the effects of climate change?

Handing out rape alarms to deliberately spook horses is beneath contempt. I stand to be corrected.

Has it been proved that's what they were going to be used for?

AFAICT, they were being handed out in the small hours to lone women as a protection against attack.

If the same protesters decided they hated the FA Cup and wanted to dance on the pitch, I'm sure arrests would also be made in the same manner.

And what if they wanted to stand in a town square half a mile away, holding up a poster that said "I don't like football?"

 

[Tigercubrider]

You realise that those arrested for having rape alarms were funded by the Home Office and the Met?
Should we arrest their co-conspirator?

Suella Braverman.

Where do I need to be ? Date & Time please

The Coronation was not held in Trafalgar Square. The ceremony was not interrupted.

Nobody is obliged to pretend to like football or to support the monarchy.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Ah well, lessons to be learned and all that.

I hope those won't be the words of a surgeon after working on me if I have to go in for anything in the future.

There's a difference between an arranged protest, an unarranged protest, and disruptive behaviour.

It's a difficult line, but arrests without reason are over stepping that line.

I stand corrected, plod are in trouble with this.
