The lengths people will go to, they narratives they will stretch out, for no other reason than to defend the likely illegal actions - authoritarian legislation considered - of a bunch of fascist, power-crazy cops, is breathtaking.

Barry described it quite eloquently: cabbage for brains.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Quoting Barry to back anything up doesn’t really make you come across as particularly bright….

Neither does having cabbage for brains, yet here you are.

I wouldn't expect someone who has cabbage for a brain to realise that they have cabbage for a brain. If I was a cabbage hiding out inside someone's head then I'd try and be pretty inconspicuous. But then again I'd be a cabbage so not great at being a brain and making these decisions. Anyway, your cabbage gave its game away. We are just informing you of it. It will try and tell you that it isn't a cabbage so that it can keep its home. But there should be some dead giveaways that it is a cabbage and not a brain. You just need to recognise the signs, by using your brain, oh nevermind

If right wing parties or Muslim fundamentalist all preaching hate can protest, then so can these lot. If it's peaceful, then let democracy have it's say.

Exactly, and it’s not even hate, they just don’t want a monarchy, which is a perfectly reasonable position.

If you are against it then dont go.
Protestors were warned there would be lower tolerance levels compared to other events.
Mind you I had never heard of Republican until yesterday
so they increased awareness about themselves.
During the ceremony there was Lord Patel followed by Lord Singh. I thought they would demand the return of the Kohinoor to its original abode.

As far as I can gather, the protests were allowed to continue once the troublemakers had been removed.

Most of the protestors seemed to be middle-classed mummy's boys from comfortable backgrounds, probably future Tory voters as they fit the profile.

The people trying to enjoy the once-in-a-lifetime event appeared to come from every economic background with a full range of ages and ethenticity.

There were no trouble makers and no trouble, and you have no idea who the protesters were.


Unlike the pathetic flag $hagging serfs waiting in the rain to wave at Jimmy Saville’s best mate and his side chick.

Troublemakers?

They arrested people with no criminal record before any protesting began. People who had contacted the police to advise they would be there and what they would be doing, and were told in response that their plans were fine.

How had they decided that these people were ‘troublemakers’? And if they had, why weren’t they informed before they arrived that their protest wouldn’t be acceptable?

The Met said "lock-on devices" - which protesters can use to secure themselves to things like railings - had been seized. Recent changes to the law, passed this week, make it illegal to prepare to lock-on.

But Republic said officers had "misconstrued" straps meant to secure their signs in place.

————————
What a load of utter BS. Secure their signs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They were luggage and ratchet straps.

Assuming you know what those are, could you explain to me how you might use such in isolation to ‘lock on’ to something in such a manner that your average delivery driver, never mind police officer, couldn’t unfasten you please?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do they need straps of any description?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Explained clearly four or five posts above.

Again, please explain how luggage and ratchet straps alone could be used to ‘lock on’ to anything.

when did a protest in the UK last amount to any significant success?

Genuine question. Almost 10 million people lined the streets in protest to the Iraq war, we still went.

Do you know for an absolute fact that this is all they had? You seem to be speaking as if you have all the facts to hand, or are you just saying what fits your narrative? I’m just commenting on what I’ve read in the news, no doubt you’ll tell me that they’re only printing what they want me to read….:

Regardless, just by securing themselves with ratchet straps, it’ll be good enough for the coverage they want.

Rosso is obviously one of those that thinks if he types with enough conviction it’ll be accepted as the truth….

This charade of the rich and privileged is not going down as well around the world as our loyal media would try and make out - French news is full of the protests in Scotland and Wales and the arrests, and the lavish trappings of colonialism is helping the growing republican movements in the Sovereign countries
