I mean, the arrest has got a a very pro monarchy MP questioning it, so I'm not sure it's actually making your argument. In fact judging by reactions to that and Centre parks etc, it's making people decidedly angry about what's going on. Don't think it's doing the monarchy any favours even though they haven't called for it. -
I think we'd have the same nonsense with a President. Look at the ***** we get around the Poppy
-
But that's not happening because we have a monarchy. That's happening because people are ****ing idiots.
-
This. I think we'd end up with something similar
-
Given it's a Bank holiday, they might have staffing issues given everything else is shutting down and the staff are volunteers. If it's a misplaced sense respect that's different entirely
-
So much bad PR for so many companies. It's not even enforced
-
They need to give you the option to work then. If they are closing it then they are denying you the option to work. Which means they must either give you the bank holiday pay, or let you work and pay you. That's what I would reply.
-
Aye. But realistically unless the public sentiment changes enough it's not going to happen anytime soon. No politician who ever realistically wants to be elected will breathe that point, and there's enough of the country that, while not necessarily bring royalists, is sort of ok with the monarchy
-
The police are pretty good at generating their own negative attention, given that in the last week alone they battered an 80 man after wrongly turning up at his own house, and then shot dead an unarmed man. And it's pretty obvious that in these examples, with the possible exception of the 22 year old in Edinburgh, they are doing it badly
-
You shouldn't be getting arrested for being a gobshite. But it also does feel like it can turn into one of those **** about and find out scenarios
-
The one thing I would say, is that (and similar to the young fella in the other example) they've probably stopped him from getting a punch on the mouth from someone.
-
@ginnybob unless he's kicked off with the crowd then police are in a spot of bother. Not the same incident but a lawyer making a point in the video
-
If they've arrested him for his protest, he should be suing. If they've arrested him because he's kicked off with the people around him that's a different story. I'm willing to bet it's the former (because you know, virtually every public example of policing we've seen) but I do question why his two accounts differ.
-
Tony, you seem like a really nice bloke. But in all seriousness, give your brother a ****ing clip around the head. Everytime you mention something he's said, it's always mental.
-
I'm definitely not one to defend the police, for so, so many reasons. But I do wonder how much of the bold might have occurred. There was similar in Edinburgh, and the crowd were quite polite in replying, in the end that small group of protestors actually calmed down
-
The problem is precisely how they interpret the law to get the outcome they want. We can see why and how they have done it. What matters is whether it's right
-
He doesn't need to comply with the police, only with the law.
-
Yeah. I think that's almost certainly a different scenario to Oxford where it sounds like the police have been heavy handed.
-
@Ackter she's been charged with breach of the peace
-
That wouldn't be the first time someone has been arrested for that (the extremely prominent swearing)
-
Yep, this is the bit we need to know about. If he's then kicked off at the people around
-
There's absolutely every chance the police have been heavy handed tbh. We've seen it many, many times.
-
Sounds like he was detained under the 'old' law... Hard to say since his tweet and blog don't quite match up.
-
Yeah several countries have mentioned doing this. The timing has been largely coincidental tbh, and less to do with King Charles.
-
Make it make sense...
