Outrageous scenes of cops arresting anti-monarchy protestors and stealing their placards So we are not allowed to show public opposition to a bloke being crowned head of state for having been born into unimaginable wealth while ppl line up at food banks and schools fall apart

Organisers of the #NotMyKing protest have been arrested - police won't say what for x.com/AERMorg/status…

All Protocol Observed Welcome to Issue 123 of The Continent. Bless the reign down in Africa: Britain’s new king gets to have a big party to celebrate winning the genetic lottery and the rest of us are supposed to just forget how his family acquired all that power and wealth.

This morning, Graham Smith 🇺🇦 🏳️‍🌈 🇬🇱 🐧 and 5 members of our team were arrested. Hundreds of placards were seized. Is this democracy? #NotMyKing #Coronation

It seems this week's new legislation prohibits placards. Police had repeatedly said the protest would be permitted. #notmyking

Our monarchy isn't a social glue. It's a gilded veneer, that makes grotesque disparities of wealth and power seem normal.

No doubt there will be a statement soon from Keir Starmer condemning these arrests..? #notmyking

Anyone who thinks the British monarchy is a harmless anachronism with no constitional implications needs to wake up. A man is being literally anointed by a priest as head of state, purely because of who his parents were. Peaceful protest about this has been suppressed. #NotMyKing

We're going to abolish the monarchy - want to join us? republic.org.uk/join #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

Update - the banner was seized and apparently chanting is also arrestable.

Suella Braverman keeps repeating that the Rwanda scheme etc is the “will of the British people” If, like me, you’re British, & this is not your “will” let her know by retweeting this please. We deserve to be heard #RwandaNotInMyName Suella Braverman MP

Quadrature's "logic aligns perfectly with the ecomodernist project of 'persuading' govts to smooth the way for techno-fixes which promise to resolve inconvenient issues like climate change while opening vast new frontiers of profit for Big Tech and its investors" — Mike Hannis

Elon Musk promised to rid Twitter/X of bots. He's actually given blue ticks to hordes of bots pushing Trump & amplifying Musk's own posts. Twitter is now a fully weaponised machine to promote billionaire-backed fascism.
