If he's then kicked off at the people around He was most probably demonstrating his right to freedom of speech by shouting at those telling him to ''shut up you tit'', this then escalated in him being removed for his own safety and the police mentioning a section 5. And letting him go. If some football fans started giving verbals within the laws towards home fans who were growing in number, then the Police would stick them in the van move out of the area to the nearest train station and tell them to go home or behave. This far easier than going through the rigmarole of paperwork and solicitors when they've got better things to do and at the same time they've saved the NHS a few quid in stitching him up. Of course, letting it go and not making a big deal out of it wouldn't see his twitter trend improve.

But I do wonder how much of the bold might have occurred.

profii Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 it's pretty difficult to protest in any fashion without antagonising someone even if you were just there with perfectly inoffensive placards and were entirely peaceful, someone is going to get upset - mainly because you dont share their views.

Peterj Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 So in modern Britain it is now an arrestable offence to protest the divine right of the sovereign, apparently not because we are some authoritarian feudal throwback, but because its ‘disrespectful’ and ‘disruptive’ to protest while her cold dead corpse is being hauled around the country so people can gawp at the coffin. I don’t know what’s worse out of how casually reasonable freedom to protest is being cast aside or the dumb ass justifications being offered up to defend it. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
