These new laws that were used to arrest everyone for any Republic protests

Re: These new laws that were used to arrest everyone for any Republic protests

No. You are now claiming the arrests must have been due to some intelligence or conspiracy.for terrorism or something. I was saying if that was the case the new laws werent needed.

You have completely made this up yourself.and are proving the point. The people arrested were told what they were arrested for and it was the new laws that were used. The met have said what they were arrested for also.

So is your point the new laws were not actually used yesterday? Or is it they were used and they were used for purposes other than so far stated by the met?

I'm saying that there's a good chance credible intelligence was used due to the fact a small minority of protestors were arrested.

The left have continually state the powers are used to suppress protests and that was the intent.

The powers used, as you claim, are nothing more than extensions of current law to cover the changes in protesting tactics and have clearly not been used to suppress lawful protest.

if police across the UK were using these powers, how come so few across the whole of the UK were arrested?

You can’t arrest people based on ifs and buts. There had been meetings about this.

Well,yes you can actually

When someone is arrested on suspicion of an offence it is often a case of ifs and buts.

Remember, only protest if you and your group sit quietly in a corner, are quiet and don't inconvenience anybody. Be the good little plebs that you are and lick thy boot.

Apart from those protesting yesterday who were chanting, had placards which you conveniently ignore like a good little class warrior.

Or perhaps more likely maybe the mistake they made was discussing and agreeing locations and plans with the police.

The police perhaps then used this info to be waiting for them to arrest them and seize the vans with the placards in when they arrived at the agreed location.

Right, so having done that, they police then decided to just ignore those protestors chanting with placards then, why bother arresting those eh?

Must just have been a London thing go, given protestors around the UK not being arrested.

Ah I see you are moving the debate entirely away from anyone who was arrested or the new laws and the only point you have left is to point out not every single person was arrested yesterday across the UK.

Yes, a tweet with no context prior to the arrests is of course clear evidence of police evilness.

Still, a "journalist" embedded with Just Stop Oil, making a documentary on them couldn't possibly have reason to allege wrongdoing, eh?

No, the point being made was that people were whining whilst contradicting themselves.

"These laws stop peaceful protest!"

Peaceful protests abounded across the Uk, including Westminster.

You conveniently skirting round that because you'd rather pursue a "Tory, police evil!" dogma rather than accepting that maybe the small number of arrests were for good reason.

This is the United Nations commenting on Sunak’s Public Order Act - the one that allowed the police to arrest peaceful protesters (even before they began protesting!).

“Deeply concerning”

“Incompatible… with human rights”

No they ain’t talking about Sudan, Iran, or Russia!

So you claim the United nations motivation for saying this is what? Are they pursuing an anti tory agenda also?

No way were they right.
