while the Queen is lying in State, this is the only time you get to say
>look at the state of the Queen
I agree with Freedom of Speech, but we don’t have that in the UK, the laws need to change.
> Any person who in any public place or at any public meeting uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour with intent to provoke a breach of the peace or whereby a *breach of the peace* is likely to be occasioned, shall be guilty of an offence. – Public Order Act 1936
Nobody wants to live in the kind of world it would create if the police got to pick and choose which laws to enforce on a whim.

Police will always be pigs. Monarchy will always be moribund. I do wish they’d be changed, for the good of our nation.
Fuck me that’s a good newsthump headline *chef’s kiss*
Yet again though, free speech is only a thing until it’s something that offends you.
It’s only fitting. In days gone by, chiefs were interred with their most valued and cherished posessions.
Satirists are having a field day right now.
Where I am (not U.K.) there’s a similar article “Premier shuts down hospitals to honour Queen’s memory”
Police can either –
a) Arrest the person for breach of the peace before some football hooligans decided to demonstrate how patriotic they are by beating him up.
b) Form a cordon around the protestor and fight off said patriotic football hooligans etc. while the crowd goes apeshit.
I guess having a right to freedom of speech in a founding document is a good idea?
Damn. Who would have thought?
It’s weird because this sub is usually quite vocal that people should be arrested and sentenced for saying things they don’t like, but now they’re upset about it.
Fuck the kings guard fuck the pigs and fuck the king
Liberty died from a natural blunt force trauma to the head.
As a crusader kings 3 fan whose finally getting the hang of it, I’d love to see a united Tutorial Island irl
You British folks made an interesting loophole with the royalty
Calling it “Figure head” monarch and somehow everyone just accepts that
This is the royal family / they are above any law
Yall need to move into 19th century. Fucking monarchies in 2022.
Do they get their own casket 🤣On a serious note, the govt. buried civil liberties a while ago
>She was an amazing Queen and was much loved by the rank and file. She always had a witty joke ready for when we let random nutjobs walk into her private chambers or fired off our guns into the floor of her train. Twice.
lol, true story that, look it up

lol, true story that about the train, look it up
What’s wild is I think this is actually the result of anti-protest legislation introduced under Patel – ironic that our most right wing government since days of empire has given cause for the police to behave in a way which is producing such dismal optics for the monarchy
Is it a open casket or got a lid on thus a empty coffin?
But at least King Charles III appointed Jeffrey Epstein buddy Prince Andrew as his surrogate when he’s out of the country.
Talk about being tone deaf.
Is this what inbreeding does to you, King Charlie? Fucks up your judgement?
The Tories did that when they outlawed protesting. Cops are just using their newly given powers
Just had a heated argument with the miss about this. She thinks protesters should have not protested. I told her nobody should get arrested for protesting. Things were said.
I think some good may come of this. The blanket promotio’al advertising of the monarchy in the media and the ludicrous restrictions of civil rights lay bare the brazen manipulation of the public debate. Doesn’t it feel like North Korea?
Hate to say it, but British civil liberties died and were cremated years before the queen. Arresting people because someone got offended by a tweet. Wow.
You can thank the fascist government for this. They make the rules. The police enforce them!
Hypothetical one, if I turned up at the funeral for one of your loved ones and started shouting “THEY WERE A C**T” over and over, would you expect the police to do something about it and under what law?
I am an avid supporter of freedom of speech but there is a place for public order legislation.
If you were going to protest the monarchy, doing it at the Queen’s funeral isn’t going to be an effective place to put your message across, meaning you’re only really there to willingly disrupt and upset people who **do** want to pay respects.
