In England & Wales, police can only arrest for Breach of the Peace if there is a threat of violence. Where the threat comes from someone responding to the protest, an arrest of the person protesting can only be justified in exceptional circumstances.
 

As always, get your facts right first. Then form an opinion.

 

That’s how reasonable members of the public ‘work’. Certainly should, at any rate.

Read what I wrote again and please try to be civil it costs nothing.

I am genuinely upset, annoyed and angry that there are Tories. Can I have them all arrested for breach of the peace?

 

You can put it on your wish list

I thought we were talking about the woman arrested in Edinburgh https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/royals/andrew-marr-slams-police-after-27969095

Oxford is referenced in the very first paragraph of the article I linked to. London is also referenced further down, with someone being arrested for holding a sign saying "not my king".

They were picking a time to cause most impact and publicity by doing it just after Charles mother had died.

It was obvious many people would be upset, annoyed and angry by such behaviour at such a time and therefore the police will have arrested them for conduct liable to cause a breach of the peace

Now, your turn to read what I wrote again…

 

…so, where was the threat of violence, again?

 

The Oxford protester was not arrested, according to the Police. Just asked to move away from the gates, to allow passage of vehicles.

 

Much ado about nothing, that one. That Scottish one, now that’s a different kettle of fish. But then, Public Order Law is different up there. Basically, the offense is whatever the Police says (-happened). Still, the protester should get off under the HRA. If the case even makes it to a Court, that is…between the stupidity of the arrest, PO case law and it’s resilience to HRA, the barristers strike, the defunded CJS, <etc>

Haha, up yours Delbow, in your face.

Are you 10? 🙄
 

Delbow’s link which Harvey was responding and set his conversation to, is about the Oxford arrest. The thread is plenty clear on that, incontrovertible.

 

The recent Police statement that I alluded to, about ‘not an arrest’,  is about the Westminster one alleged this morning, not the Oxford one, my bad:

 

 

 


Hey, you wish to stoke civil disturbances and disobedience, and republicanism? 
 

Just carry on strong-arming peaceful protesters like that 😏

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I know people grieve differently, and I wouldn't want to say categorically that it's wrong; but I don't know, it just doesn't sit right with me for some reason.

Just to add , I was on about the Queen . I have seen a few members of my family at rest .

He (and others) didn't seem to want to acknowledge that many working people, who's jobs may not be closed on the day, will have an issue with child care.

Chances are they won't.

 

Family members and friends that are off could act has baby sitters for a day.

You can't just assume that's the case for everyone. I wouldn't want someone's kids foisted on me on that day.

So why can you assume that people will have a problem for one day, just because you wouldn't like it?
