  1. A barrister was threatened with arrest for holding a blank piece of paper up outside Parliament, in the UK, not Russia, China or North Korea.

    A man was arrested in a UK street for saying a couple of sentences.

    You can shout your support of the monarchy from the rooftops without fear but if you dare criticize them in public you risk arrest.

  5. Yes, the fact we turn a blind eye to such homegrown political extremism of the monarchist kind is a disgrace.

  6. These people who do things hoping to get negative attention and then whine when they get it.

    And then this god-bothering bit *Hill’s activism has always been bound up with his Christianity, much of his objection to monarchy derived from his faith: “I don’t understand how a Christian can agree to a proclamation declaring somebody other than Jesus to be our only king. I’m just a complete turnip really.*

    *On 22 December, he was charged with breach of the Public Order Act – a charge that was dropped two weeks later, again with no explanation.How did he feel? “A part of me was slightly disappointed I wouldn’t get the chance to make the case in court, but a much bigger part was relieved.”* Clearly just wanted more attention.

    Not the biggest turnip in the article though that goes to che guevara wannabee

    *“I’d like people to withdraw their consent to be governed by the British nation state because it’s complicit in war crimes and crimes against humanity. It needs to be dissolved and its assets redistributed as reparations for climate change to the global south. In its place we’d create a federated direct democracy of local people’s assemblies and ultimately a global democracy where we’re citizens of Earth.” I’m a prize winning turnip you see.*

  8. I don’t understand how it’s legal to arrest people for protesting against a monarchy. Personally I wouldn’t call for his death, but I hate them all and don’t want them to have the sheer amount of money they have, especially some of it coming from taxpayers. How tf is it democratic to arrest people for an opinion like that?

  11. No money to give nurses a pay rise, we spent it instead on putting a hat on an old billionaires’ head.

  12. In my lifetime our Queen achieved the following great things:

    – gave war criminal multimillionaire Tony Blair a knighthood.

    – protected paedophile royalty from facing justice.

    – helped the tories make it harder to peacefully protest in direct response to peaceful protests.

    Truly, she was just like all our grans and we need the definitely not racist monarchy because something something tourism.

  13. I just love these salty Redditors who hate on the monarchy. They’ll then go and slobber over whatever philanthropist billionaire they like who contributes not even 5% of what the monarchy does.

  14. You can disagree with someone without wanting them to suffer serious injury or death. Why is everything that polarising these days? I am anti-monarchist myself, however I would never wish death on those who are pro-monarchy, nor the monarchy themselves. It is like we have forgotten how to disagree civilly in the age of social media and 24/7 news coverage.

  15. People are so dumb…the royals are literally at the top of the system that prevents Britain from changing. The whole system is built to support them…and they have a large group of people that love them as you see.

    That said only an idiot would protest among pro royal people…gotta think of your safety

  16. Seems like the Royal Family followers behave like cult members. Trying to lynch people, threatening people at their residences and warning them not to go out on the street. All just for going against their views.
