Smiling, laughing and trashing the place.

Utterly disgusting mess, left by plastic patriots.

Yeah I don't think emojis should be taken literally, but it is a desperate post. You could take that after any big public event. I have a general frustration with people who dont take their rubbish home with them but I wouldn't try and pinpoint one group to make a point.

You've become the guy who shows the picture of Glastonbury festival the day it ends and grumbles about the mess. Congratulations.

Yet more whataboutism. So You don’t find it disrespectful for people to turn up and leave their crap everywhere because pissed-up rugby fans also behave like that. There have been lots of posts about rugby fans behaviour on here btw.

And I’m pinpointing the group we’re talking about in this thread. Seems a bit unfair to blame anybody else.

Anyway, tbh not every post is intended to get your take on things. As much as it is inevitable.

Says a guy with 11,000 posts , don’t be a prick and it’s a one off event , just like Glastonberry which would probably damage the countryside more.

You precious melt

The police arrested them because they didn't think their protest would be peaceful and it would be disruptive.

Manufactured outrage (as usual). Someone who the police felt was out to cause harm or disruption would always have been arrested.

If someone is outside Wembley on cup final day with a drone and a t-shirt saying Just Stop Oil, do you think the police would stand and watch? Of course they wouldn't. If they judge a clear intent, they will intervene and rightly so.

Hundreds peacefully protested and good on them. Some, the police deem, were intent on not doing so and intervened.

Everyone has a right to protest, but you can't just do what you like where you like. That's the vibe I get with a lot of the Just Stop Oil lot. Mummy never said No to them.

And you know all of this how? Because you’ve got a “vibe”?

Have to confess I was actually referring to JW not you with last bit. I merged incorrectly. Apologies.

I meant not every post is worth debating. Given why people were there I found it at best ironic. If you can’t criticise this sort of thing, fine.

You must have been watching very different clips from me of the arrests of peaceful protestors and accredited journalists covering the protests. Standing silently at the edge of a pavement with a placard was not peaceful and was disruptive was it? That was the case with dozens of the arrests. Clearly planned in advance by the Met. Whatever little vibes you are getting it was police state indefensible!

Do you have a copy of the footage?

Police get things wrong, we all know that. But there were peaceful protests. That's a fact. The police didnt arrest everyone or prevent protests. They held a number of people they clearly suspected of planning violence or disruption.

As I said, anyone who thought the kind of Just Stop Oil tactics could carry on and be deployed whenever people wanted were clearly wrong to think that.

The police use "intelligence" for disorder crime and disorder prevention all the time. We didn't see any disorder on the weekend at all. Maybe they did their job well?

The mere fact the police are fallible as you admit demands that they behave with more restraint. If you don't believe this latest behaviour is intolerable then you are even more myopic than I thought you were.

Thing is, you and others wanted disorder. That's what you wanted. Most didn't. The police's job was to prevent it and if they suspected disorder they acted to prevent it.

There were large peaceful protests on the day, which were highlighted on TV.

Police clearly felt that some people did not intend to peacefully protest. I am sure we can all believe that scenario. There's a lot of hate expressed on this board alone, so it's not hard to imagine such a scenario.

If the police have acted unlawfully there are avenues for the people in question - the media have already given them more of a lift up in that regard than many are afforded!

Shocking particularly as Graham Smith had been in regular contact with the MET prior to the coronation.

As usual you're talking through your a**e. Your naivety astonishes me.
