Anyway, it turns out the arrests were completely dodgy after all and the Met has apologised. One of the geezers says he's taking legal action though. That could be interesting.

I think the amount of dignitaries from other countries that came to the coronation implies a level of respect from the heads of state anyway.
Wrong way round. Britain is still powerful enough for some other countries to think it worth keeping in with, so they go "if it matters to them, we'll kid on it matters to us as well."

Are you sure it's not just that international dignitaries will turn up for any sort of jolly, especially at a country that is actually still pretty rich, and from which money flows readily if the correct palms are greased?Phil H wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 11:17 amMarc Meakin wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 3:31 am

Yeah, one of the two, or maybe a bit of both.

Further proof that the police completely disgraced themselves at the coronation.

I hope she's learned her lesson and will no longer support the royals and any of their nonsense ceremonies.

You'd hope. I think if the police had explicitly arrested her for supporting the coronation it would have been more acceptable.
