Since when did you have any right to tolerate a fundamental right to protest? Maybe you should try lowering your tolerance for rapists, racists & misogynists in your own ranks https://t.co/hd4tZpghtU

What an extraordinary tweet…the explicit threat; why the hell shouldn’t people be allowed to protest? I suspect the bar for what they will classify as “disruption” will be very low. https://t.co/5nb9LafvxV

"Or otherwise". What does non-protest disruption look like? Anarchist flashmob singing the national anthem but sarcastically? Also, the idea that the fucking Met has tolerance for anything but its own officers' domestic violence. https://t.co/FnkLVotFIM

Yea. Doesn’t read very well does it? Definite “get anywhere near my solid gold carriage and I’ll throw you in the Tower” vibes: https://t.co/UoxLoyilC6

Getting shot blind with rubber bullets for putting a sign that says "having a king is bad, actually" in your kitchen window https://t.co/vRN4Zlg0GN

In short …
Utterly grim. A complete failure to engage in the balance required from policing and one which clearly follows from the home secretary's attempt to redefine disruption in the most trivial terms. https://t.co/2NPgkqe9nD

And finally, this.
And then a small boy called out, "But the King is wearing no clothes!" He was immediately arrested by the Metropolitan police, and was prosecuted for disrupting the coronation celebrations. And that, children is how civil rights became a fairytale.
