Did the look Ady with an anti monarchy dog get arrested for anything in particular? I get the breaching of the peace thing, but holding up a sign in a public place that is not offensive to a protected group isn’t something that you can in all good conscience censor? I guess they could have moved her on for her own safety. 

What are you holding up a blank sign for? It's obvious trolling and they should be arrested also.

Lots of typos soz 😂. Lady with anti monarchy sign it should’ve read. 

What’s the issue here? Peaceful Anti government protests happen all the time. I totally agree with a death/funeral march it’s in poor taste but it’s not illegal

I see after playing the race card, his pathetic apology and the mental health card, he has now posted a selfie with his dog on Twitter.

He's finished. Absolute moron.

This isn't anti-government protest; it's anti-monarchy protest at an event where a huge majority of the public are there specifically to pay their respects to the late Queen. People turning up to such events protesting the monarchy are clearly risking creating a breach of the peace, which is an offence under UK law and a lawful cause for arrest.

Fair enough. So was arrested for having the potential to create a breach of the peace? So if people didn’t react to her sign, could she be arrested for something that might not have happened? Genuine question.

She wasn't being disrespectful to the queen or the mourning. She was simply protesting Charles getting the crown. People should be allowed to show dissent.

And also, why do anti monarchy protests have greater importance than anti government ones? I’ve seen loads of protests where supporters of one thing are on a march celebrating something (eg Brexit) and the opposition are right there protesting it. No one getting arrested. Why? Again, genuine question

Charles is her son and her rightful heir as her first-born son. Absolutely it's disrespectful to her to challenge her son's right to succeed her after her death, especially during the grieving period amongst a huge number of people there to pay respects upon her passing.

But is it illegal? 

And the challenge is not to the Queen, it’s to whether Charles should be king. That wasn’t her decision. No idea whose decision it actually is? Does anyone know who came up with rules of succession

Well yes, because it's reasonable grounds to believe that the actions can lead to a breach of the peace; that is the bar that has to be met for the arrest to be lawful.

So in a parade for Tommy Robinson and his followers, would people be arrested for walking through with a BLM banner?

They will be released without charge BUT any perceived threat, genuine or otherwise would have passed by then.

So people have to keep quiet for ages for something they fundamentally disagree with? It's nonsense and you know it.

As a republican I was more than willing to keep my opinions on the monarchy to myself for a couple of days out of respect but you can't keep forcing it on people. You're going to cause a lot of anger with this draconian outlook.

10 days, and they would be perfectly free to protest somewhere away from the Queen's procession and royal dwellings where mourners are gathering where there's no risk of them creating a breach of the peace by their actions.

I’ve just looked up breach of the peace and it very explicitly stated the behaviour HAS to be ‘riotous’ or ‘disorderly’. Holding a sign is neither of these things birdie. That’s not to say there isn’t some law that prohibits it, and again I think it’s in very poor taste, but clearly not illegal, therefore unlawful arrest?

That’s very generous of you to give your permission. 10 days of mourning is excessive in my mind. And there won’t be a procession in ten days will there? So any protest loses its strength. You wouldn’t protest against a nuclear power plant being built after it was already there

I didn't set the 10 days. I'm just telling you what the protocol is, what the law is and why it's lawful for those we've seen arrested to be arrested.

It is now widely accepted that the correct definition for breach of the peace is that which was given in the case R v. Howell (1981), ie, that the behaviour of the person involved caused the police officer (or private citizen) to believe that:

  1. a breach of the peace had or would occur; and that
  2. it related to harm which was actually done or likely to be done to a person or, in his/her presence, their property.

I'm not in law, but the fact we're seeing a lot of SJWs squawking about the arrests, but not actual lawyers, suggests I've interpreted correctly.

You can, be arrested on suspicion of.....and then subsequently released. 

So arrested on suspicion of behavior likely to cause a disturbance......but then discharged when that suspicion is unfounded (which reads the impact of their protest has minimized).

But the people protesting won’t have caused the actual breach of the peace by peacefully protesting surely, it’s possible that someone punching them will cause a breach of the peace. Confusing.

So can the police effectively shut down any protest through arrests? Because essentially any protest could lead to this happening.

Theoretically I'd assume so. But I'm no expert.

The risk in the situation is that their protest will incite a violent backlash against them. The easiest way to diffuse that and to keep the peace is to remove the protestor to prevent a disturbance and for their safety.

I don't think so. If you're protesting among a group of protesters protesting the same thing then there's no risk of them turning violent against you; it's reasonable to presume that it'll be peaceful.
