Met threat: Warning to coronation protestors

Those cuddly friendly lot at the Met Police have issued quite a North Korean like response to anyone who dares ruin Charles’ coronation. Coronation protestors will NOT be tolerated.

Wether you like the royals or not, they obviously need protection. King Charles the first came to a sticky end just around the corner.

Jokes aside, a large police response is required.

But what about people who just want to protest, peacefully, well they better read this tweet first.

The Met Police tweeted…

Led by a highly experienced command team, the multi-layered security operation will include:

Officers lining the processional route
Managing crowds and road closures
Protecting high profile individuals
Carrying out searches with specialist teams

Fair enough then they followed up with this…

Our tolerance for any disruption, whether through protest or otherwise, will be low. We will deal robustly with anyone intent on undermining this celebration.

"Or otherwise". What does non-protest disruption look like? Anarchist flashmob singing the national anthem but sarcastically? Also, the idea that the fucking Met has tolerance for anything but its own officers' domestic violence. https://t.co/FnkLVotFIM

What an extraordinary tweet…the explicit threat; why the hell shouldn’t people be allowed to protest? I suspect the bar for what they will classify as “disruption” will be very low. https://t.co/5nb9LafvxV

Since when did you have any right to tolerate a fundamental right to protest? Maybe you should try lowering your tolerance for rapists, racists & misogynists in your own ranks https://t.co/hd4tZpghtU

10.

Do we now have a law banning the undermining of celebrations? Is their now a custodial sentence for making a scene? I wasn't planning to go and shout abuse at the procession, but threatened over-reach like this really does bring the expletives to the tip of my tongue. https://t.co/HoK8qrNUEO
