I'm a monarchist for various reasons.
But I don't agree with people being arrested for peaceful protests. It's not a crime, nor should it be.
I think what would have been a good idea would have been to have a separate area for protestors, on the route with a good view and where they could be seen.
This would lessen the chance of fights breaking out.
I'ce just searched Amazon for 'Placard Straps'.
This was their first suggestion.

People that would like to describe this as a totalitarian crackdown I think need to visit some more countries or perhaps read a history book once in a while.
Crybabies should just be quiet and happy that neither the protestors nor the police went too far.
A lot of people seem to be ignoring the fact that there was indeed a protest.
The underlying narrative here is that ALL the protestors were arrested, subjected to police brutality then shipped off to a Gulag for the next 10 years.

No, the protest organisers were arrested at around 7:30am before the events had even started and for no reason.
That’s the issue.

I haven’t seen a single person arguing that.
People have expressed and are expressing concerns about:
a) the new legislation the Tories have rammed through, which puts the UK on a footing with Hungary and Belarus in Europe, and is not reflected in the statute books of any other democratic developed nation, and
b) the first glimpses of it in action, being the police exercising their new powers to arrest and detain, without giving any specific reason or providing any evidence of intent, anyone they care to, even *prior* to what was an organised, peaceful protest.

Female volunteers from the City of Westminster’s Night Safety team were also arrested at 2am on Saturday morning whilst handing out free raape alarms to women:
https://news.sky.com/story/amp/police-arrested-volunteers-handing-out-rape-alarms-over-coronation-disruption-concerns-12875150
How are people defending this shiiiit, honestly?
Absolutely ensuring that the monarch gets to ride by the plebs he drains his living from in peace is now more important than helping protect women from the threat of raape? That’s what people want to see British police doing?
If you tolerate this, the removal of which other rights and protections are you prepared to see?
Putting up with shiiiit like this is how you end up living in a Belarus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So here it says 2am yet someone posted at about 10pm last night that it was happening. Is it possible that there are different things going on here, that some were handing out alarms in order to cause disturbances and then others who were handing them out genuinely got caught up in it because of that?
I have no idea of all the facts and neither do you. Yet it’s funny how you’re so quick to jump on people for supporting the outrageous suppression and heavy handed policing, yet it seems that you’re only able to see and assume that where authority is concerned it’s always the worst case scenario.

“So here it says 2am yet someone posted at about 10pm last night that it was happening.”
People were posting about it (and the media very widely reporting on it) throughout the day yesterday, because it happened at 2am on Saturday morning. Westminster Council itself has commented specifically on the arrest of its volunteers, expressing its concern.
I haven’t posted anything on here in terms of summaries of yesterday’s (and previous days&rsquo events which hasn’t been reported in the mainstream media. The police haven’t denied any of those reports, as far as I am aware.
There are numerous videos circulating, with plenty of context, with the police refusing to give reasons as to why they’re arresting people, with one quite confidently saying, “We’ll work something out.”
Is that the kind of country you want to live in?

This was how it was reported in most papers "A number of women’s safety volunteers were arrested for carrying rape alarms on the day of the coronation, it has been reported.
The Metropolitan Police said that at around 2am on Saturday three people were stopped by officers and arrested in Soho, central London, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance.
Among the items seized by officers were a number of rape alarms, the force said.
It comes after the Met received heavy criticism over the 52 arrests that were made against anti-monarchy supporters on the day of the coronation.

There was a peacefule protest which despite it's peacefulness the authorities tried to sabotage, limit, destroy using their statutory powers given to them by the people. You don't understand the importance of that.
The underlying narrative is that peaceful protesters were arrested for nothing and sent off to cells and remand for doing nothing but protest peacefully.
There was a protest at Tiananmen square too. Just because people were able to actually protest doesn't mean it's OK what the authorities did, does it? You're either very thick or are pretending not to understand what point is being made.
With a Labour MP saying today that they won't repeal these laws, it will be funny watching all those currently in favour of them flip their position when protests they sympathise with are adversely affected by them.

It is.
There wasn’t any violence it seems, from either the protestors nor the police. Some, not all of the protestors were arrested and released on bail. If they haven’t broken the law that will be the end of it.
Neither of you seem to accept any responsibility on the huge increase in non-peaceful protests over the past few years as to why such legal protest-related changes have been made. Yet the vast majority of protest went ahead uninterrupted.
Rosso has made his position clear on ends justifying the means and doesn’t seem to care about civility as long as they’re on his side of a debate.

Female volunteers from the City of Westminster’s Night Safety team were also arrested at 2am on Saturday morning whilst handing out free raape alarms to women:

How are people defending this shiiiit, honestly?
Absolutely ensuring that the monarch gets to ride by the plebs he drains his living from in peace is now more important than helping protect women from the threat of raape? That’s what people want to see British police doing?
If you tolerate this, the removal of which other rights and protections are you prepared to see?
Putting up with shiiiit like this is how you end up living in a Belarus.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So here it says 2am yet someone posted at about 10pm last night that it was happening. Is it possible that there are different things going on here, that some were handing out alarms in order to cause disturbances and then others who were handing them out genuinely got caught up in it because of that?
I have no idea of all the facts and neither do you. Yet it’s funny how you’re so quick to jump on people for supporting the outrageous suppression and heavy handed policing, yet it seems that you’re only able to see and assume that where authority is concerned it’s always the worst case scenario.
You’re something of a keyboard extremist, aren’t you?

This was how it was reported in most papers "A number of women’s safety volunteers were arrested for carrying rape alarms on the day of the coronation, it has been reported.
The Metropolitan Police said that at around 2am on Saturday three people were stopped by officers and arrested in Soho, central London, on suspicion of conspiracy to commit public nuisance.
Among the items seized by officers were a number of rape alarms, the force said.
It comes after the Met received heavy criticism over the 52 arrests that were made against anti-monarchy supporters on the day of the coronation.

A lot of people seem to be ignoring the fact that there was indeed a protest.
The underlying narrative here is that ALL the protestors were arrested, subjected to police brutality then shipped off to a Gulag for the next 10 years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I haven’t seen a single person arguing that.
People have expressed and are expressing concerns about:
a) the new legislation the Tories have rammed through, which puts the UK on a footing with Hungary and Belarus in Europe, and is not reflected in the statute books of any other democratic developed nation, and
b) the first glimpses of it in action, being the police exercising their new powers to arrest and detain, without giving any specific reason or providing any evidence of intent, anyone they care to, even *prior* to what was an organised, peaceful protest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But but but... It's virtue signalling. Funny how some people don't perceive the importance of this. They've truly dumbed us down.

There was a peacefule protest which despite it's peacefulness the authorities tried to sabotage, limit, destroy using their statutory powers given to them by the people. You don't understand the importance of that.
The underlying narrative is that peaceful protesters were arrested for nothing and sent off to cells and remand for doing nothing but protest peacefully.
There was a protest at Tiananmen square too. Just because people were able to actually protest doesn't mean it's OK what the authorities did, does it? You're either very thick or are pretending not to understand what point is being made.

With a Labour MP saying today that they won't repeal these laws, it will be funny watching all those currently in favour of them flip their position when protests they sympathise with are adversely affected by them.

That doesn't make any sense.
Police removing known agitators lead to a peaceful protest.

It is.
There wasn’t any violence it seems, from either the protestors nor the police. Some, not all of the protestors were arrested and released on bail. If they haven’t broken the law that will be the end of it.
Neither of you seem to accept any responsibility on the huge increase in non-peaceful protests over the past few years as to why such legal protest-related changes have been made. Yet the vast majority of protest went ahead uninterrupted.
Rosso has made his position clear on ends justifying the means and doesn’t seem to care about civility as long as they’re on his side of a debate.

Of course it doesn't make sense to you. You're a genius after all.
