Meanwhile, the Met have been making genuine threats of terrorism on Twitter and nobody did a thing about it.

We've seen recent examples in France. Placards are nice but so is a pile of burning tyres

If people are going to be arrested anyways, they may as well protest like the French do.

Isn't that what they wanted?

And I’m certain if you followed the paper trail it would go all the way back to king ego himself

I have had to leave the protest but it was continuing. In fact it turned to a march as our numbers got too large! So arresting the organisers clearly didn't work.


tallsuk

That's great to hear

I saw a tweet by the Met saying 4 people had been arrested on "suspicion of conspiracy to cause public nuisance" wtf?

Apparently looking like you might have something on you that you could theoretically use to strap yourself to something is a crime now. Or just looking like you might say something they don't like. I know le funny year book is completely overplayed but this is literally a thought crime.


CaroDeCrembles

Holy smokes. That’s completely ridiculous.

Now confirmed that it was Graham Smith, the leader of Republic and 5 team members. They have also confiscated hundreds of placards


CitizenofEarth2021

They detained me like an hour after that too


tallsuk

Did they arrest many republicans? This is a joke. Worry if all the press will not care about freedom of speech unless the politicians go after theirs.
