I was listening to a guy earlier who was arrested in Norwich when they were reading out the declaration of the new King. He was walking past and just said "who elected him? " and was set upon by security and passed to Police who arrested him. When he challenged them they said he was arrested under the new protest laws but were vague about what and why. He was taken to the station and the struggled to find what they could charge him with and hold him and eventually de-arrested him saying he may yet be called back for interview ( presuming if they can make something vaguely stick ).

The new laws are unworkable and will just lead to lots of appeals and cases against the Police by ( lefty lol ) lawyers because people get wrongfully arrested. Basically it turns out " Patel doesn't like it and needs to appeal to the rabid Right" wasn't a valid basis in law after all.

Did he say it whilst trying to use the suspended bike rack though?

The laws they recently passed seem to be more or less giving the police the power to decide if a protest becomes too noisy or is a threat to public order (whatever that is), but now it seems that they are straying into very dangerous territory when they are allowed to arrest people for their politics - however crudely expressed.
It is of course, just what you expect from this government, to use the police as a political army.

I think there’s a word for that.

Assuming this guy's recounting is accurate, how can anyone listen to that and be anything other than deeply worried at multiple levels?
