Watch, it'll turn out its an unemployed "gender studies" graduate that spends 2 weekends a year sticking it to 'the man' and the rest cruising round Croatia on a yacht with Tabitha, Penelope and own American Express Centurion Cards from the bank of Mummy and Daddy.

your ad hominem attacks on the person expressing their opinion on a sign, only makes it seem like you are trying to deflect from the real issue at hand here.

Yes, the real issue is she is a far left provocateur.

They can watch a woman dragged into a van for holding a sign and still claim to support freedom of speech. Laughable, man

Re: Woman arrested after holding ‘abolish monarchy’ sign in Edinburgh
listen

i don't support the royal family either..

however, society dictates we are held to a certain level of civil decorum, this girl has shown she can't be "adult-enough" to handle proper respect for many at this very "specific time" when she should remain cool...

the girl is clearly in need of a mental evaluation

when you allow your emotions to dictate this type of decision making it is clearly an indication of "issues"...

poor taste is something lost upon many blue haired weirdos...

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81849645


We know in authoritarian police states and quasi monarchies free speech and freedom, is inappropriate behavior, bad form, and not the done thing.

Fuck it the monarchy are just a bunch of corrupt people just like all the rest. I personally might be pissed if I lived there and had to listen to church bells ring for over an hour just because one person died.

Of course all you monarchists can eat your bugs and be happy, you already have the mentality of serfs and slaves. You all seem to love the nostalgia of the chains.

Re: Woman arrested after holding ‘abolish monarchy’ sign in Edinburgh
Magna Carta (signed into law in England 1215) has been held aloft as an icon of democracy for centuries but some of the most fundamental liberties are not part of its provision. However, what it did do was to begin the process of assuring free speech, freedom of expression and pave the way for a free press.


Tyranny clearly reins in England today.


If I was King Charles I would tell the police to immediately release her as they ARE breaking the law.

no. in the public forum, on the streets paid for by the people's taxes, it is always the time for public discourse and airing grievances against those that rule over you--especially rulers that are unelected.

this wasn't in the church or anything. it was on a public street.

Re: Woman arrested after holding ‘abolish monarchy’ sign in Edinburgh
i didn't realize there was no free speech when it comes to the royals. silly me, i should have known better.

woman arrested ‘in connection with a breach of the peace’.

She held a sign saying ‘fuck imperialism, abolish monarchy’.
Officers appeared behind her and took her away, prompting the crowd to applaud.

You either have free speech or you don’t, there’s no in between.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 81597136


We don't have complete free speech, but we don't claim to either.

What would happen in the US if the police saw a young lady with a Fuck Trump sign at a Trump rally?
 Quoting: lightchild_uk


she'd be removed by his security most likely , but it wouldnt be the police arresting her unless she happened to be violating some criminal statue .

holding signs in america isnt a crime ...yet.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80804854

How about swearing in public and holding up placards with obscene words in front of the president? This had nothing to do with free speech. It was about behaving in a way that was a breach of the peace because it was DELIBERATELY meant to incite violence and general public disorder = you know - just like Antifa do when they pretend to exercise their right of free speech but end causing a riot.....
 Quoting: Superstrings R' Us


swearing in public is protected free speech,
here to raise to the level where they would likely be arrested it would have to be a graphic depiction of pornography or terrorist threats of imminent violence type stuff.
our ideas of what incites violence are different and for something like a vulgar sign we would expect the police to protect the signholder and arrest whoever assaults them.
insulting our leadership is practically a national pastime here.

Breach of the peace is not criminal offence.

They let you go almost immediately after detaining.

We don't have freedom of speech in the UK.

Abolish the monarchy isn't an offence. Saying fuck or writing fuck is offensive and therefore a breach of the peace. Just like you cant swear at an officer.

Royal rulers are something that should not even exist. We are all connected some how... Royal titles and privileges should be eliminated. Period.

Having said that this "protester" could wait a few days. This is just disrespectful to the cycle of life in general. If you must celebrate someone's death do it in private... not where people are paying respects. Royal or not this is still a human and people did love her. I hope none of her the grandkids had to see this. They can not help being born into this family.
