    Thames Valley Police said four people were arrested on suspicion of malicious communications after the images were seen.

    Oh look, the truth is malicious!

      “Malicious communications”? A heinous crime indeed! So when is Trump getting arrested for it, together with most if not all politicians?

          They don’t really. People are losing their jobs, getting kicked out the country, etc. For saying the wrong words.

          It’s “free speech only if you agree with the government”.

      Translation 4 inconvenient people were silenced by officers. By forcibly removing them from the scene. Knowing full well the CPS will likely not press charges.

      Given there is no way any court will consider the purpose as causing distress. As required by the act.

      It’s just performative. An exercise to waste time and make it look like the police and state are “doing something”. They probably take their cues from the Home Office.
